Long Long Long ago, many many years young i was, when i came around the video game Jazz Jackrabbit. It appeared to me in a demo cd that included other games such as Megarace, and other interesting games.
I began playing that demo, and quickly fell in love with its well built goodness. But like many things Jazz jackrabbit faded away, until several years later, a very anticipated sequel JJ2 came out.
It was a blast being able to play as Jazz again, and a new bunny, Spaz, one of my favorite characters. quickly i played through the entire single player missions. But alas it was over.
Then came the online play, so many servers, the fun never ended for me, it was all a dream.
A friend of mine who also played Jj2 told me about a community, one where JJ2 player united. that place was
www.jazz2city.com, i quickly became apart of the community. Unfortunately i forgot what my old avatar name was, however, i have not forgotten my friends.
Rocky Raccoon
Dino
Alienator
Roaster
Blues
Dethman
And many more friends.
And quickly i grew to enjoy my stay, and was recruited by Dethman, as the manager of the War Tavern, a section devoted to the stories of Jj2.
But once again, after epic stopped the servers, the game disappeared from my life. But every so often i would come back to see how it was running.
However, one quick swoop of great stupidity on my side, i became what i believe the problem on the downfall of Jazz2city, taking advantage of my knowledge at the time, i entered the jazz2city ftp, and continued to push jazz2city off, by deleting the entire website.
A friend of mine, Roaster got blamed at the time, we both were the only two who used the mindspring internet, i had been away for so long that they thought it was Roaster.
I know it is kinda late, but i am sorry for what i did, in the many years behind me. But just recently on a whim, i did a search for jj2, and to my amazement it seems that the community has survived, and is actually thriving to an extent.
It makes me very proud that i could recognize some of the names who posted here from the old days of jazz2city.
And to my amazement the war tavern has survived, which also makes me very proud.
I am sorry for what i did, and i am overjoyed that the community has continued.
