My reasons for being a hardcore Jj2 fan even though the game is dead? Well,
-I've made alot of good friends, most of which I still keep in contact with today. Most of my good friends on ICQ are/were JJ2er's, and if I didn't play the game I doubt I would've met 'em.
-The game, online, is generally a blast to play, as compared to UT online, which I am now bored of.
-The sheer insanity and overall wackiness of the community is just so appealing to my twisted little brain.
-Without something to do I'd probably cause a riot.

Basically, I came to JJ2 to have fun playing a good game. I later found online play was myuch more fun and challenging. To my surprise, upon my first venture into the old JJ2 community, I was welcomed with open arms and became quick friends with many people. Without them, I would not have had as much fun, as many laughs, my computer would still be very, very bad, and I might very well be a different person today, mainly because I've been here so long I've devoted a large portion of my spare time to the game and community, and I've made so many good friends who over the course of time, talking, gaming, sarcasm and jokes have helped shape me into into the nerdy, sarcastic, and slightly sad person I am today.

Because of the thrill of beating an adversary in battle (or CTF) and to hang out in the community here at the JCF.

Who could ever live without a community like this one? It's great! And Jazz is still fun to play, even after all those years. And if Jazz is dead, how come we still have this thriving community of players? Or JDC? (at least if the new season ever starts) Jazz is not dead. at least not yet.

Three reasons, in the order of importance.

You.

Reason 1) Ballistic is better then targetting!
Reason 2) All the nice pod people play jj2.
Reason 3) I'm not mad.
Reason 4) The spoon likes it, he would literally die if i quit.

This topic is rather silly as if we are harcore fans is it not logical for us to follow it to its grave?

Hehehe, Mikey, that's my list. Only thing is I've run through it a couple of times now already.

I've already lost interest in levels, but by that time I've gained interest in tilesets. Now I've lost interest in tilesets but gained interest in levels again. I wonder when the cycle will ever die out, lol.

Jazz isn't dead until there are 72 hours on non-active Jazz2/TSF games running nor single player sessions of official/un-official levels (*.j2l) being run by the user/player.
Jazz is far from that and not dead, Red.

Besides my love of the game, I'm still a fan because I made a lot of online friends by playing JJ2. Without playing JJ2, I wouldn't have known about the JMMB, JCMB, CMB, ROMB, SSMB, Ultimecia, Ground Zero (Neon Dingo's board), and the JCF.

There are a few reasons:

1. People like you. They try to take a community the fun with playing the game. This should be reason enough to keep on playing, just to be ungentle to you!
2. Did you ever play the game? It is just fun!
3. Why are people CounterStrike-Fans, even if TacticalOps2 is better (err...any CS-Fans in here ?)
4. Is Jazz2 dead????????????

I said I discovered them thanks to JJ2 not that they are still alive. Anyways, JMMB, JCMB, CMB, Ultimecia, ROMB, and SSMB are officially dead.
