Majority of players still use the in-game server browser to search and connect to BF1942 servers, that's why it's important to have a replacement master server. Besides that, if there is no master.gamespy.com connection, BF1942 game locks due to a bug, we have experienced that in the past when the master server was down for a few hours, and players numbers dropped a lot. So, it's essential to have an alternative master server and distribute modified BF1942 client executables that points to the new master server.
I agree but if the alternative master server is not online before 31th May, it would be good to warn players that they can join with Xfire or else, that's what some players suggest on BF-League. For example, on the Facebook page, one guy didn't know it will be possible to join after the 31th.
bf1942 will freeze when that master server go offline if you click on update button or ingame when you press esc to close or change settings of bf1942 we as bf1942 community all have to work as one team on 1 all out fix so all know where to go
That's why I think we should warn players with automatic messages ingame because some of them who are not very active are not aware of gamespy end of service. And other servers should do it too.

If EA Games doesn't deliver support for BF, keeping the IP adress in favorites or connecting by Xfire should be enough (I think)..
the server population is changing thru years, 2/3 of players that played on simple in 2012 dont play anymore, new players come and they usually have no xfire and will think multiplayer doesnt exist if they dont see servers
I don't see what you're getting at.

But I think it would be good to warn players on the server that it will not be possible to connect to Simple if they do not have it in favorites. Is it possible to print automatic messages during the game (like Hitler and Stalin quotes) asking players to register on this forum where they can find all they need to keep playing BF ? The BF community will probably lose some players after the 31th May, but we can limit it.
Sorry if what I'm saying is stupid, because I'm not a computer wizard.
