Greetings friends, it's Nemo here!
I sincerely apologize for disappearing and not posting any updates. I know how discouraging it can feel when the server goes offline for months at a time without any news of if and when it will return.
Unfortunately, this year proved to be far more difficult financially (and emotionally) than anticipated, to the point I was even scraping by just to afford food and rent. With bills piling up and no luck finding work, I had to make the difficult decision to step back and take a much need break in order to refocus. The stress and anxiety just became too overwhelming, and I didn't want personal setbacks to take away from everyone's enjoyment of the game.
The good news is that I finally found a job opportunity! Since the end of August, I've been working tirelessly to make ends meet so that I can return to my favourite pasttime at long last!
I really do appreciate all of your continued support, even in spite of so many life obstacles. I've always vowed to keep the server up and running for as long as possible, and I full intend to keep that promise. We have an amazing community of friends on JT2 -- some of whom have been with us since the very start.
With that in mind, I still have plans to commemorate the 9th Anniversary of JT2, most likely it will be postponed for mid-January. That includes a new time capsule and a 2024 Memorial Stone. I still have trophies to hand out from our last Easter Egg hunt as well!
I'm preparing to bring the server back online in the next couple days, in time for our annual holiday celebration. You know that Santa Claus has a lot of deliveries to make, particularly since we missed out on Christmas last year.
I'm eager and excited to see all of you again ^.^
