Wow. I havent been on Massassi in years. Its good to see its still around. This site has been the sole source for everything JK. Everyone else has abandoned or forgotten it. Its great to see that the levels I know and love by some of my favorite authors are still hosted.
On another note...
I was wondering just how many of you actively or occasionally still play JK? (or even know what it is.. you'd be suprised..)
I want to get a general idea because a friend of mine and I have been regularly playing TCP/IP (and zone when they had it.. how I miss the good ol' days) at least once a month since JK came out. As you can imagine after 8 years we've gotten pretty bored with one another and would like to play with other players from the old JK community. Possibly once or twice a month at a set date and time.
I'm hoping this might catch on, so that Massassi will host and/or advertise these once a month meetings to keep the old community alive and kickin'.
The plan is to post it out there 2 weeks or more in advance (enough to plan on what to tell your girlfriend when she cant come over that friday night) and include the level and mod we might play. Obviously some of the populars, and the classic levels (yes yes.. oasis too), then mix it up with some custom levels from right here on Massassi either by request, demand, or host preference (this would also include original JK of course.).
I figure if theres more then 32 people at once who are playing, another host can be chosen. This will probably require some kind of RSVP system. Most likely via the forums here if the GM's will allow it. Otherwise a IRC channel or E-mail bulliten is the next viable choice. I figure in the day and age of SATA harddrives, dual and quad processors, DX10 video cards, and cable connections offered at the price of AOL back in 97', a large game shouldnt be a problem to host or play in. (heck I remember playing on MSN with a 14.4)
As always hacking/cogging would not be tolerated, and the legendary hacker-kicker would be a must.
Let me know what you think of this idea, and if it sounds like something you'd participate in.
Happy holidays all!

JKE is pretty fun to play. A little buggy at times, but hell, it beats box fists. Doesnt work too well with JK co-op haha. Causes rather amusing bugs when paired with that.
