JJ2 doesn't need to be "revived". I've been around since 1999 and to me the game seems more active than it has ever been, except for maybe the very, very early days. Its pretty common to see the server list go to two pages now. There was a time when that was an extremely rare occasion.

Whenever people say the game is dying or the community isn't what it used to be, these are just old diehards who don't want to acknowledge that things change. There are a lot of people who play the game, its just that they are mostly different people from the ones who played in the past.

Also note that right now, I just checked and 22 people are playing jj2 online. 20 people are playing quake 1 online (the vast majority of servers have 0 players). Stupid Rabbit Game 2, which was obscure from the very start, is beating what was once an extremely popular online FPS game. The reason for this is simple. Deathmatch FPS games are fun, but they are a dime a dozen. JJ2 on the other hand is the only game of its kind. In my opinion that gives JJ2 a lot more survivability than any more generic old game, despite its age.
