EDIT: April 16, 2022:
Rented a UT2004 server for a month to test it out!!!
It is a public server.
Name on the server is: TPU-UT2004
IP address is: 108.61.104.100
You can add that IP address in your favorites within the game to make it easier to find.
It has been a ton of years since messing with UT server settings, so if anyone knows how, shoot me a PM and I'll get you set to log into the server to adjust settings.
If someone knows how, we could set up preferred maps, game types, etc...
I just rented a server in Atlanta Georgia for now just to test. It is easy, and free, to change locations if we find ping times are bad.
With a Poll
So, during a small conversation on the thread about the new Unreal 5 Engine, myself and @Anoniem started talking about firing up a TPU Unreal Tournament server.
How many of us TPU members still fire up a UT game now and then?
What version, IE UT, UT2003, or UT2004, do you play?
Would making a TPU UT server interest you?
I think both @Anoniem and myself have all of the above.
If this sounds like fun, post here with interest and which version you would prefer to see as a TPU server?

Since these are some nostalgic/vintage games, the servers are cheap as heck. LOL
We can get either game for $0.79 per slot for private servers on either game server. I would imagine that we would want to go with a private server.
UT2004
Game Servers : Server Hosting & Rental
www.gameservers.com
UT99
Game Servers : Server Hosting & Rental
Heck, we can do a 20 player private server for $15.95USD per month.
Dang, that's cheap as hell.
I guess the next thing would be to figure out where to have it located?
They have 9 locations in the US along with UK, Italy, Australia, and several other locations.
I see currently that UT99 is leading with 17 votes and UT2004 has 15 votes.
This is looking very promising going forward.
This server would be up 24/7 as well.
I'm not that great at setting up game servers, so I would want to give someone with more knowledge admin rights to the server to control the games and what not....

I personally both like 99 and 2004, 2003 is fine too but 2004 has some tweaks that I like a bit more. And I'm really glad to see there are still people willing to play these games! Regarding the 2004 MP key; no clue why GoG has that requirement. I can't seem to find anything on the Steam store that suggests that you need an additional key. It probably just comes down to DRM or something like that. Now my old images are corrupt, they were recovered from one of my drives that went up in flames (yes, physical flames, PSU's baby). Aaand I lost my original UT2004 metal case with the install media during moving in 2018. But it can still be bought so not an issue.
Now one of us could host a dedicated server at home (or a rogue machine where you work
