Hmmm; sounds rather typical; didn't a couple people here already figure out the cause of the Master Server's chronic failures? Something about the use of unicode text triggering some kind of screwed up thing causing some kind of flood to cause it to fail...I think it was PRG or Daft...or some other NBK person that pointed it out. Anyways, I haven't been getting a "Master Server Down" message, but I know that it is; doesn't seem to bother me much though anymore, annoying a bit at times, however, heh.
