A quarter of a century of rabbit roasts, capturing flags, frantic scrambles for carrots, RF rampages, and seeker supremacy - Jazz Jackrabbit 2 will soon be 25 years old!

If you're new: the Anniversary Bash - commonly referred to as just the "bash" - is an annual online event celebrating the shareware release of Jazz 2 (April 9th, 1998). A dedicated server with a customised levellist is hosted for the duration of the nearest weekend to this date; normally for 4 days straight. This year we're once again lucky for the occassion to fall on the Easter weekend (April 7-10).

Q: Why should I come?

JJ2 is fun! Especially in a big server with many players simultaneously chatting and playing. The bash is the best time to enjoy this experience, with people new and old coming together to one big melting pot of multiplayer madness.

Q: What do I need to do?

Get Jazz Jackrabbit 2 here (https://buy.jazz2online.com/), and install the JJ2+ patch (https://www.jazz2online.com/jj2plus/). The server will be open to everybody (up to 32 clients) - join and hang around for as long as you like!

Q: What's going to happen during the event?

The bash is most often divided into two gamemodes: Battle (free for all) and CTF. Both gamemodes will have their own special, all-star level list, created specifically for the 25th anniversary.

Normally, the gamemodes and their respective levellists are swapped on alternate days - this year we might do something a little different.

Q: Who's organising all this?

Organising the bash falls upon the Jazz 2 Online staff, with several volunteers helping out with ideas and feedback. The dedicated server will be hosted by DanZeal, provider of the Zeal server network.

The level lists are currently WIP - for the occassion, this will be a slightly different list than what you might be used to. Suggestions are always welcome - keep an eye out for updates!

🥕 See you on April 7-10! 🥕

If you need a back-up server, I can set up PN Events.
