The Anniversary Bash (commonly referred to as just the Bash) is an annual event celebrating the initial shareware release of Jazz Jackrabbit 2 (April 9th, 1998). A dedicated server with a customised level list is hosted for the duration of the nearest weekend to this date.


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, and install the JJ2+ patch. 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 divided into two gamemodes: Battle (free for all) and CTF. There will most likely be short special events hosted on the Bash server.

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.
