“Nimrod comes with news about the European listservers. In an attempt to formalize and bring together the Jazz Jackrabbit playing community, http://www.jazzjackrabbit.net/ hits the web. From now on you can get easy access to the listservers via us.jazzjackrabbit.net and uk.jazzjackrabbit.net, which point to the US- and UK-based listservers respectively.
Aside from the catchy names this should also give a more ‘professional’ look to the listservers, hopefully persuading those who haven’t patched yet or are new to the community to patch to the new listservers locations. Also, this should simplify the process of keeping listservers up. If one of the servers were to ‘retire’ permanently the address could simply be redirected to a replacing listserver.
An updated patch to enable these new addresses is available here, one for Macintosh players will be issued soon. A site providing information and statistics will be launched soon to occupy the space currently at www.jazzjackrabbit.net.”
Again, this means that the following are newly accessable list servers:
us.jazzjackrabbit.net – North/South American list server located in Whittier, California, United States. (jazz.contrabandent.com)
uk.jazzjackrabbit.net – European/Asian/African list server located in London, England, United Kingdom. (jazz.nimrod-online.com)
It is recommended that all users update their registry entries as soon as possible, although there will be a grace period of a few months.
Edit: The list server patch is now available on J2O, here.
