Matchmaking was a major hurdle. The game launched with an IRC client so you could connect to their IRC server and find friends or servers. They had an announcement system to announce in channel what server someone joined.
IIRC, the Master Server was added in 1.04, alongside OpenGL support. Before then, it was Glide-only. Tribes was basically built for 3DFX cards.
