I joined the Jazz2 community in 1998 around when the demo was released, and I was 11 when I joined...11! Geez, I've spent many years on this game (actually nowadays its more or less just the community). Actually when Jazz 1 came out I was obsessed with it, and then I heard about Jazz2, and suddenly when the thought came to me to see what was up with it, I found the demo was released.

When I joined I was pretty new to the internet, and through it and the help of people I learned a ton about making web pages and made programs, and was inspired for all sorts of things. I've made many many friends in Jazz2...in fact the majority of everyone that I talk to is from this community.

The best times were probably when I first released my old website The Rabbit Hole, and how crappy it was, and then eventually doing one major revamp and having it become much more popular. And also when I released SXR was one of my favorite times. Oh, and playing online for countless hours, and talking in the old Epic MMB. I still remember that, and when it was first thought up to have clans in Jazz2...and the first War Tavern (even though I didn't have any additions for any of it). I've spent countless hours involved with this game. It's influenced my knowledge and inspired me to look into programming and designing sites, and for making graphics, and all sorts of things. Jazz2 has changed my life in many many ways =)

And who can ever forget playing Diamondus Warzone so many times that you can capture the flag and score a point in just a few seconds?

And all of the hype around *it* (I wonder how many people in online play you could ask about *it* and have them not know what it was...) Ohh, and playing against CliffyB online! Crazy fun times =) And that one time when I e-mailed Arjan and he actually answered me, =P

As far as regrets, my only major regret is that I've made many many friends over these years, but I can say that out of who I talk to more often now, only very very few are the same friends that I knew from way back when. A lot of them disappeared into thin air and I have no way of contacting them. Sad.

But anyway, Jazz2 has been good to me, though I don't play it nearly as often as I wish.
