JJ2 Death Clock

[Tubz]

Here's a really stupid topic, that I just thought of now...when do you think JJ2 will finally die?

Eh, since I have no clue at all, I'll give it 5 years from now. That being 2009.

No one get offended, that I want the game to die or anything, this is just a silly topic, anyway I know the list servers are owned now, but do you think the owner will give it up and let the game die?

[Trafton]

There's really no way to know, or estimate. Of course, it's going to happen eventually - computers will die eventually, obviously.

[Tubz]

^^^

Umm, and you think in 2006, that computers will die? Well anyway, if that even happens, that's not the point. When will the game die, hehe...

If computers die, I don't count that as a reason for JJ2 dying, since it was a computer malfunction, not a community abandon, or no care for the game anymore type reason.

[blurredd]

My guess is Nimrod will probably get tired of maintaining the nimrod-online serverlist in 4 years at the most. Contrabandent will probably be offline in 5 years or so, or at least just not as stable. I wouldn't be surprised if in several years someone comes out of nowhere with a brand new serverlist for this game. I doubt JJ2 will die within in the next 5 years since new players are still coming to this game for one reason or another. Go figure.

[FireSworD]

Dying soon? hahaha, actually this game might not be as active as I heard it was back in early '98 - '99, but aspects like JDC are becoming more popular with each season and new players are still coming. Even if no new players arrive, I think it would still take at least 3 years for the games' community as a whole to lose intrest in the game.

YEAH, HE IS RIGHT!!!!111oneoneleven

[Stijn]

I became so sick ofpeople posting the same poll every year that I voted Never. THIS POLL HAS BEEN POSTED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE AND YOU SHOULD REALIZE THAT!

define "" die ""

[ShadowGPW]

jj2 dies of bleeding, not a big blow. The scene just gets smaller and smaller..

[Enigma]

Never, for the same reasons Flash mentioned. We seem to be active enough to post new topics about jj2's death every few months, so that sort of counts as being alive.

[Doubble Dutch]

Well, according to the death clock itself and given JJ2 stats, it will die on july the 19th 2089.

[RockyR]

i don't know
The longevity has been really well maintained to this point.
I think a key was that nothing ever replaced Jazz2,
such as, Jazz3. So we have to stick around, and we also don't mind.
It is an easy game to keep playing.
Really very much so.

[Nimrod]

Nimrod may get bored of Administrating the List Server.

But now remote administration can be down externally from Digiex, other people can just take over my job.

And as long as digiex continues to get paying customers for server hosting, and continues to stay alive, ill keep the List Server up.

[blurredd]

I probably should've kept in my post "unless others take nimrod-online over" but whatever.

[FireSworD]

I'm waiting for Haze to explain why he thinks this game dies in 2004.

[Tubz]

define "" die ""

Stillmatic, I meant that when do you think this game will die. Meaning, when list servers will finally be kept up by people. No more list servers. Not at all do I mean, the community, just the game.

[blurredd]

That is a semi-vague definition. What if the list servers somehow last forever or even without anyone maintaining them?

[Tubz]

You dream too much.

Well anyway BlurredD, so you don't have to reply to this again. If that did happen, were ignoring the fact that that can happen. And just assuming a normal list server death.

[blurredd]

Perhaps, but that doesn't mean it's not possible for the list servers to last longer than 10 years w/o any maintenance.

[Nimrod]

Nebula has created a list server application, even if both Contranbandent and myself, and monolith and link all went, other people could take over and become list servers..

[Tik]

JJ2 will never die...in our hearts. ;------;

Actually probably once we are all middle aged and/or dead.

[Monolith]

I was told this game died a few years ago. I thought maybe it was in it's afterlife now, or something...

[Pyro]

I was told this game died a few years ago. I thought maybe it was in it's afterlife now, or something...
Lol, yes! It's in the afterlife, so JJ2 will last for eternity!!!

[VashTheStampede]

*cough* list server crash of 2000 that caused half of the players to leave (including me, yet i came back after 2 years)*cough*

[Tubz]

^^^

Woot! That had to be the most controversal event in JJ2 history! Yeah, well I started playing JJ2 again like 2 weeks later or something after that crash.

[Doubble Dutch]

It was indeed a dark day. Still, you've got to wonder, is JJ1 dead, or is there some pathetic community out there somewhere with less than a dozen members. Maybe they're discussing when JJ1 will die...

*dreams*

[blurredd]

I would doubt that since JJ1 wasn't a multiplayer game and you couldn't make new levels with it. Enjoy your dream.

[Radium]

Sometimes I wonder if there's a whole other internet that we don't know about. And someday, someone will unite the two and there will be great hacker wars.

[Stijn]

GREAT HACKER WARS!

[Blackraptor]

That would probably lead to great chaos and eventually the destruction of the internets. You're making life seem too much like a crappy RPG.

[Fawriel]

Sig.

[FQuist]

I believe JJ2 won't die this year yet, or even next year. Surely not the community. Maybe until 2008, hopefully later.

I do wonder about people saying 'never'. Never say never. Never includes loots of decades, centuries and millenia.

[Doubble Dutch]

In which case we must be quantitative. Never henceforth is the amount of time for a politician to do something useful, or the sun to turn into a cold dead ball of soot, whichever comes first.

[SkulL]

JJ2 FOR PROS

[Slaz]

I don't think this game will die, i think the level creation will stay alive longer then the serverlists.

Maybe he thinks that in this year will come End of the World :o Armageddon *booo*

I don’t give JJ2 more than 3-4 years. I think it is optimistic vision. JJ2 will die, when J2o will die =P Epic doesn’t care about this game. It hastens end of jj2….
If we want to extend jj2`s live, we need more JDC Seasions in year, also we should start JJ2 Ladder on ClanBase. Only if still new people will be starting playing JJ2, the game will be alive. So, some people should stop frighten newbies ;p

I agree with you. Maybe some people will play for example in 2010 year SP, but it will be only a few people from all world...

[CelL]

I'm missing the I don't know option.

[cooba]

I second Cell.

[Doubble Dutch]

Make an (un)educated guess.

[!Tman!]

I dont know.. I came back this year and I still saw people on.. It was kinda scary

[maniaxman]

the fanbase will never reatch zero just like master of magic :cool:

[Tubz]

Eh huh, yeah, this wasn't one of my favorite topics either. Err, I'm Tublear, maniaxman. Just changed my name. Which will go back to Tublear by probably early 2005.

[Torkell]

...they never die, they merely fade away...

[R3ptile]

Who the heck is "R3ptile 2"? He voted on this poll. =/

[Anubis]

It's already almost dead.

[Violet CLM]

Nimrod is obsessed with the list servers and is unlikely to let them die. Even when Digiex does shut down, there will be plenty of other people who can create a list server. JJ2 is in no danger from that field.

[Speeza]

I vote 2004 XD

[R3ptile]

It's already almost dead.
obviously not. now when the old list servers' domain is working again, jj2 is more active than it used to be during the last two-three years and it's only getting bigger and bigger every day.

[JelZe GoldRabbit]

JJ2 will never die! :twisted:

- JelZe GoldRabbit =:3

[ThunderPX]

I vote 2004 XD

Don't bump topics ;(

[CrimiClown]

JJ2 will die along with Arjan... :(

[Nielsje]

Heh, nice to see this revived. I voted for 2008 back then, but my new opinion would be somewhat later... around 2015 or something.

[minmay]

2009. It started slowing down a long time ago, and hasn't stopped since then.

[Doubble Dutch]

We shall see, this would be more interesting if there were cash involved.

[NovaStar]

I wonder what the crash of 2000 was...

[Sasik]

....it was a listserver crash ;P

[R3ptile]

I wonder what the crash of 2000 was...
it was caused by Orbitz' father, two weeks before he got married

[Blackraptor]

and it pretty much accomplished what DDL, Orbitz, UF and all those other peeps couldnt do.

[DaPete10]

*cough* list server crash of 2000 that caused half of the players to leave (including me, yet i came back after 2 years)*cough*

...I wish it had stayed dead, as the game has passed its expiration date. It has become infected.

[Murderbeam]

With what? N00bs?
Ajazz?

Well, Lets Do some spring(summer) cleaning and Clean up the Servers!
Who's Coming?
(i won't help.) :P

[MSB3000]

...I wish it had stayed dead, as the game has passed its expiration date. It has become infected.

What is with people who say they wish something were dead just because it's old?! Is that what you say to your grandparents?

[Black Ninja]

Clearly JJ2 will die in 2004. Also, why was this revived? Topic revivals make me want to shoot myself. In the heart.

[MoonRazor]

I think that Jazz will never die, but that is what I think...

[Speeza]

LOL I revived a 2 year old topic :)

[CrimiClown]

LOL I revived a 2 year old topic :)
... Amateur.

[Xobim]

Well, we can laugh at the posters who said two years ago that JJ2 will die in 2 years. :)

[DanYjel]

/me laugs at myself :((

[MSB3000]

Hey, FQuist voted for 2008...

WHAT IS HE PLANNING?!

[FQuist]

>:<b></b>-)

[KRSplat]

(Hint: If you choose 2005, you're wrong.)

[n00b]

According to Bill Cosby: "Jazz is like the new coke, it'll be around forever hah hah hah"

[Doubble Dutch]

Yeah, but he says that about everything.

[n00b]

Yeah, but he says that about everything.
AND HE'S NEVER BEEN WRONG

[Raven aka StL]

jj2 is immortal, end of story, GOODBYE, THE END!! :mad:



.....any questions?! :D

Yes. Why is that missile homing for FQuist's home?

Rofl...

[Speeza]

So four years later and we have reached 2010. Still alive and ticking right ?
I like this topic as it is pretty interesting to discuss the activity of the community.

[Blackraptor]

(-)(-)(-)(-) why did i vote 2006...

[SpyroTheDragon]

I think it has been getting smarter, and will take over the world before it allows itself to die.

Yeah, even if the world dies, jj2 will fly away on a computer stored in a spacecraft. It will fly in the universe untill it lands on a new planet with life. After that it will start taking over this new world and destroy it, and it just keeps going and going...

This theory rules.

Although I wasn't right back then, I think that the idea of permanent ladder helped a lot this community to survive. Now the online gaming does not base only on j2o/jdc anymore and jj.net plays important role in keeping the game active.

jj2 is immortal, end of story, GOODBYE, THE END!! :mad:

Now you are doomed to make the same mistake.
Whatever it was.

And once again forget why those posts will be deleted (as they will be), and make the same mistake yet again! It's all clear now..
