TheLopez emerges from his long torpor
Well after several years of being away from you, I have made the decision to lend a hand to the new crew of LOX mod developers. I am sorry if I have ignored your emails in the past but due to the new job that I had, I felt that it would be necessary to make a clean break from all things quake for a while so I could get settled in my job and be as successful as I could. Now that I have achieved that goal and many others I am ready to rejoin the ranks of the q2 world once again. I have created a blog where the LOX community is welcome to comment and if you want post your mindsplats regarding LOX weapon and feature development. For all you WOS clan members, this blog is not intended to replace any of your forums. They are a wonderful place for discussion and I tip my hat to all of you for keeping my dream alive. As for QwazyWabbit, you have taken the LOX code to the next level and I tip my hat to you as well. Without you LOX of have most certainly died off a long time ago.
As for LOX in the future and what we wanted to do originally. When we first developed LOX we wanted to create two versions, a light weight LOX and a complete LOX mod. The light weight LOX we envisioned almost everyone could play without having to download a huge amount of extra skins, sounds, etc. The heavy weight LOX could potentially replace any and all media files in the game, making for a complete LOX experience. Obviously the neither versions of LOX happened, instead we got a mix of the two, which resulting in something that seemed to make a lot of people happy ... to my surprise. It is still my dream to have these two versions of LOX, if it will happen I don't know. But anyways, enough with the sappy stuff and on to LOX, enjoy it, slaughter, be slaughtered, but most importantly, have fun.

TheLopez,
I would just like to say that I am a newbie by LOX-creation standards but have thoroughly and utterly enjoyed playing this game with this mod for a good while now. For a lil about me and Quake 2, I played the game when it came out..then picked it back up one day years later and put this server address in for an online game. I had just figured out how to do those kinds of things with my computer. I am a late bloomer for computers in general. I'm novice only. Anyway, I had found the LOXophilia server through gameholic one day. Somebody hooked me up with the LOX mod. Tried it..died an aweful lot...and loved it. Eventually, Rosco WOS and Jesse WOS and Phlem WOS began to help me understand LOX. by that time I had named myself AAAGGHHH!!! because I died so much... ha Then one day Jesse asked me if I wanted to get a team toegther to play against WOS in online tournements. I thought that was great and did so immediately. We haven't looked back with "Team BOD" yet..lol.. So, in a nutshell, thank you man for creating the coolest mod in the universe. And cheers to coming back around! (interested in Quake 4? I know I am!lol)
On behalf of the BRINGERS OF DEATH, thanks for everything.
