When I got JJ2 in fall 1998 it was after the list server had crashed already, they did not come back up until early 1999. These days are are almost as active as ever, of course there are some down times always. But I think people are simply still looking for good computer games; Jazz is not hard to find for someone wanting to play an online multiplayer platform sidescrolling shooter, plus community websites help newbies get in business to compete with everyone. We all must be thankful for the technological updates to the game such as BlurredD's Jazz2+
