So today the masterserver went offline (in fact i think all of icculus.org did) and was wondering, what could we do in case something like this happens for an extended period? For example, if it gets DDoS'd like Sauerbraten's masterserver?
Also, when connecting to a server with auto-identify on, it kept kicking me off. I feel that it would be better to alert the user that their auth request failed because the masterserver couldnt be reached.
