What, No Cake?

Jump

No candles? No events? Not a peep nor a post? It slipped by as we slumbered in dreams of futility. It came and went like a ship in the night. Shame on us.

Happy Belated Birthday Jumpgate.

From NetDevils front page.

Finally, four years ago (September 25, to be exact), NetDevil launched Jumpgate, a massively multiplayer space combat and trading simulation. Since then, players have had the opportunity to own and pilot a spacecraft in a persistent universe while engaging in trade, mining, and combat. Happy Birthday Jumpgate! Let's celebrate with some pie! We currently offer a 10 day free trial to all new players - visit the Jumpgate Operating System SHell at http://www.jossh.com for more information.

I feel so dirty and ashamed.

Everyone's speechless eh?

Pretty much. Of course this was my first 'Jumpgate Birthday', so, how would i have known. It's not like most people make a daily habit of visiting the actual netdevil site... still, a happy birthday to Jumpgate, which is 21 years and 2 days younger than me!

Happy B-Day Jumpgate!!

indeed, happy b'day Jumpgate for last month.

Maybe, just maybe by this time next year youll have another GM to help keep things alive.

Four years ago . . . sheesh, back then I was just a little bit old.

Actually I remember it vividly. We were all going through withdrawal in the weeks between the shutdown of beta/stress test and the commercial launch. I remember calling home every hour to see if my box had come. Then, on launch date, we waited and waited and waited. I think servers ended up going live in the wee hours of the morning (ET). It was an exciting time. I never would have guessed how poorly the game would be promoted/received . . . and never would have guessed I'd still be playing 4 years later.

Right around now, 4 years ago, was when my box showed up from Amazon.

I had already fooled around in the offline sim though when I had d/led the open beta (but never subscribed), so I was a l33t n00b and knew how to dock already. c1s, on the other hand...

GrimGriz

HAHA, how I'd love to see an inflight record of singleshot getting pwned by c1s

SingleShot

They seriously hurt for awhile

c3s were pretty hard, too. Snails, by comparison, were easy. I fought my first snail in I3 and was amazed at how easy things were going. Tragically, a manta was in the sector as well, I don't think I ever saw it though. C6 > Appy.

lol I remember getting owned by snails and probly mantas in PoH and I didnt even know what was hitting me.

I remember jousting Eel once.

I seem to recall "what are those pink dots on my radar" going over my f5

Good Times!!!

*sigh* As soon as I win the million (or MAKE the million), I'll embrace Jumpgate again. I miss talking to you all over the radio. One of the funnest things I've ever done!
