Tip: Fix Enemy Territory empty server list

Ever since my desktop's northbridge fan died I stopped playing Enemy Territory. Luckily I've finally replaced the fan so fired ET up and noticed that no server was listed.

It seems that as of late the Enemy Territory's masterlist is down. As a workaround edit the hosts file and add a new masterlist provided by etmaster.net.

In FreeBSD and Linux distributions, run the following command:
# echo "91.220.53.73 etmaster.idsoftware.com" >> /etc/hosts

Fire up ET as a new list of servers will be available.

Major thanks Paul at the Splash Damage forums for providing a solution ;)
