Angry Why arent you playing JJ2? Your Excuses?

Everytime I look at games in progress, it looks so dead.

Right now, I am stuck on the university's LAN, which refuses to allow for any kind of online gaming. As for the weekends, I'm having more fun going out with friends than playing jj2 these days, and there's always some work for university to be done.

So, in summary: excuse = life.

My excuse is that nobody can help me to get JJ2 running (see topic in technical help) and that my router refuses to let me play JJ2 online.

I don't play because there's nothing new for me to frequently host.

I always play to JJ2 online, but as joiner, 'cause I can't make a game because I've a router, so, I can't be a host, but only a joiner.

This is nice J2O poll material. I cannot play because of a lack of time. I do chat in #jj2 instead of playing, but mostly because that's a way for me to relax from work, since it's not so fastpaced as JJ2. The remainder of my jj2 time is spent on browsing and maintaining the various websites I administrate. I also usually have trouble being able to play with my network.

There's no poll.

I have so few ppl to play with. A lot of my friends refuse to play JJ2 with me because they don't feel like it, even when they always have time for 'other' games far worse than JJ2.

However, if I host, ppl will always join, which is nice.

I'm too busy with everything else. And whenever I want to be an idle host I can't decide for a level...

B) I can't host

I got bored of the game, and as a result don't play it as often as I used to. (Looking back, the date around November or so seems to be a time of inactivity for me where I barely play jj2 at all)

You didn't reply to everything yet, in particular the Registry Editor part.

I'm busy with JCS stuff at the moment, which I'm assuming doesn't count as playing JJ2. I tend to play every once in a while when an interesting server is up (meaning something that isn't Battle Game).

I never really played it in the first place. :P

But why isn't the Battle Server up any more? I wanted to enhance it a bit, but now my computer is already overloaded with all the stuff it's running that I don't need JJ2 taking up even more resources now.

Pretty much the reasons stated above. Life, lack of interest, lack of good servers.

No excuse... I just don't know why I play more :'(((((
Oh...right. I do play a lot...

Anyways, I sort of began taking my assignment as KZ World host more seriously again, meaning I let Karazickle World be up while I am in school. I am thinking of perhaps hosting something else when I am gone today...

I have (like much other players) router problems. So I'm able to join other servers on both 1.23 and TSF, but I can't host my own. This all means that I want to play JJ2 many times but there just aren't much servers online to do this.

I do not play because of lack of time. I am just too busy with other more important stuff.
And I kinda lost interest in playing this game ;_; There are simply better things to do in my humble opinion.

*edit*

There is no real question to reply to. You were chatting with WR about what you were searching for and mentioned a corrupted registry. As I'm a technical noob I don't know what to do to check if it's corrupted though.

On topic, you should all go and play JJ2 online NOW. Do it! For the sake of... PIE (or whatever).

We need different levels...I would really like to play some kind of 'adventurous' co-op level rather than having to compete over and over again in battle or CTF. It would also be less fast-paced since you're working (together) and it's IMO it's not a bad way to spend time otherwise used on semi-idling in the jj2 channel (with a hash...except this cursed Mac keyboard doesn't have a hash symbol ).

You shuold get Project Controller 4 or TEC.exe, so you can host as 1.23... However, 1.23 players can't join if you host an 1.24-only level. =/
