IMHO, selling servers but then preventing any players from seeing your server doesn't make sense and nobody in their right mind should waste their money on such a silly thing but indeed never should read his contract and see if there is a potential problem there.
On the other hand, if they were really serious about this the host would also have IP blocked the master server IPs and ports. ----- Original Message ----- From: "chillicane" To: "Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list" <hlds@list.valvesoftware.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2008 4:40 PM Subject: Re: [hlds] Force a -nomaster to be listed maybe im missing the point here, but wouldn't forcing this potentially be a breach in the TOS anyway? If they have a genuine reason for disabling it, then its quite possible they would notice the extra traffic anyway and could then potentialy cancel your account immediatly with no refund?
