...Just had a quick chat on JJ2's internet mode about this topic
I think that JJ2 is in a prime place for esteemed individuals to start playing this game online:
1. The plus-mod is available and obtainable quite simply. Without JJ2+plus, it's still a great time to join "vanilla" compatible servers. There are a plurality of open servers listed, whether they don't require the plus-mod, or they require the latest version to play.
2. Alot of experienced players are inactive or have quit playing. That means there's more free space in games to allow players to partake, without dealing with the stigmatism of "noob" accusation. These same players who've quit, furthermore won't be habitually cycling to the same maps/levels, and following cliche gameplay/teamchat patterns; in strategical, tactical, and teamplay terms.
3. Release of outstanding maps/levels has improved to a point there's a mulchitude of interesting and intriguing options. Games aren't limitd to the old classics anymore and many artists who've designed levels, tilesets, scripts and more will most likely apreciate players taking the time to test and try out their creations; and also adapt or evolve their works of JJ2-content in response to player feedback and mapool evaluations.
If you didn't already know, then you might check JJ2's online multiplayer mode via the New Game menu dialogue:
=-> "Party Mode" =-> "Internet Play" =-> "Join another game as client" =-> "1, 2, 3, 4... players" =->
Then input your choice of nick-nametag, fur-colours, control-schematic, etc.
To qualify this blatant advert, I'll jump the gun by sharing another opinion:
JazzJackrabbit2+ would potentially be rated for an older age of maturition than what was let on at the game's premier.
Although the official single players episodes exhibit restraint along the lines of explicit content...
The modern standard about this game on the internet, especially concerning online games with plus, is now nowhere near apropriate for kids, and rather beyond adult allegory.
I'm only bringing this to attention, in order to place a hopefully fair warning on this ploy for new players.
