Yet another down time for garage games. This happens to much whats the problem? I have seen the master server down for many days and I have been querying for years. I run a server and I have had to call garage games to tell them there master server is down about three times now. Can you guys tell me why the master server does this?

The master server is provided only for testing purposes only. It should not be used as the one and only master server that your game queries. As such the master server can and will go down and chances are it will not be caught for a day or two (usually when its brought to their attention).

If the master server going down is a big issue to you, you should put the effort forth to setup and run your own master server (resource) so that when GGs goes down it will not inconvenience you. Thats is what we have done here at Max Gaming for the past four or five years.
