| The Jedi Academy Public Dueling Server | |
|
Rainer - Student |
I think it would be beneficial to the Academy to have a public dueling server administrated by members of the Jedi Academy. It would raise awareness of the Academy within the jk3 community and expose more timid students to the outside world. I know when I first bought Outcast I'd play exclusively here on the Jedi Academy private FFA server.

I actually like this idea now. In the last few years it would have been incomprehendable but now? Yeah, I like it. Besides, if people cause trouble on this public server, all you have to do is go to IRC and get an admin; the same as you would on one of the private servers when there's no JAK+ on it.
But hey, if you're willing to pay for it...  |

i have to express my agreement with this idea. I think the JA should host a public duel server on which its students could interact with eachother and non-members of the JA _______________ It's a false hologram, it IS artificial... |

The idea of any server being administrated by members is ludicrous and contrary to the nature of the Jedi Academy. Futhermore, there are many public duel servers hosted right around the world. The Jedi Academy's servers are unique, your proposed idea would be anything but unique. Quote: It would raise awareness of the Academy within the jk3 community and expose more timid students to the outside world.
The Jedi Academy doesn't need more 'awareness', most people in the jk3 community at this point in time know quite and bit about the JA and most are already members, even if they don't actively participate. The Jedi Academy Aurochs are the official/unofficial ambassadors of the JA to the community at large. Also, Students of the Jedi Academy are not under lock and key and it is quite within their abilities to join public servers and be exposed to anything they like.

What do you all think? Your idea clearly wasn't well received last time and I don't think it will ever happen. _______________ I fite for teh usars!1 |

Well I did a search, couldn't find anything.
Which is weird, because I know I suggested this back when I first joined. Just wanted to see if opinions have changed since then. _______________ The Jedi formally known as Ranja. ---------------------- "I can list among my experience and skills: leadership, extensive travel, logistical organization, intimate understanding of firearms, and a knowledge of security measures at numerous banks." - Jesse James |

Actually. That means that over the course of say....1,5 years. There have been 4 people that have brought up the subject. Out of 3000+ active students. They have also been somewhat new members that obviously missed the previous threads about the same topic. So no. I don't see any merit to bring that discussion up again. - HW _______________ ::Nothing wrong with a little shooting.....as long as the right people get shot:: |

Oh, so Aurochs were doing nothing all that time. Told you mate that you can play on JA/JAA server with players outside the JA already. 130.89.169.234:29070 pw: jaa If you want to practice vs. outsiders then you're welcome to join. This comment was edited by Wicek on Dec 31 2006 09:56am. |

So maybe there's merit in discussing it? You do have a minor point but the reason it continously pops up is because people don't use the Search feature  .

This is dead horse topic. Seen the light of day at least 3 or 4 times now. And the standinf answer is no.
The amount of work and manpower needed to keep order would be too great. Anyone that has ever been to a public clan server will know the general level of order they keep. Something that I would not see repeated on any JA server. The JA was also built on the idea of being a haven. A controlled enviroment where you could teach and learn. Without the distractions of the public scene. Those are just two of the many concerns surronding this topic. Suffice to say that this will never become a reality. - HW _______________ ::Nothing wrong with a little shooting.....as long as the right people get shot:: |

I feel that it should be the responsibility of the Jedi Academy to teach theory, application, and conduct. Students should be taught how to react when the social paradigms that they are taught here are broken.
Oh nevermind--What the heck; as much as I do mean what I just wrote its mostly crap I'm making up because I'd really like it if we had a public server. lol It just seems like no one outside of this community knows who the Jedi Academy is. It'd be as much for publicity as it is a place to play. Personally I don't care for enforced rules--lamers, exploiters, and jerks alike end up making fools of themselves so long as you don't react to them in kind. Still I think it very possibly for the Jedi Academy rules to be enforced on a public server. The ClanUSA Honor Duel server has a set of rules similar to the Academy. When one is broken an admin would inform the player and direct them to their webpage for the rules. If they don't comply they are kicked. _______________ The Jedi formally known as Ranja. ---------------------- "I can list among my experience and skills: leadership, extensive travel, logistical organization, intimate understanding of firearms, and a knowledge of security measures at numerous banks." - Jesse James |

The exploiting rule should never be dropped, Fyi, there is no such thing as an "exploiting rule", noone is restricted to playing with a specific style here; everyone is free to play the way they want to. Certain techniques are less liked then others, they won't get you kicked/banned/etc in any way though. Let me rephrase that, you wouldn't see "Teh exploitz class" any where around here. Thats the point I was originally trying to get at. It won't be taught or encouraged hence a kind anti-exploit atmosphere from some students. |

You can play with players outside the JA @ Jaktorow.
Recently we set password 'jaa' there. The only bad thing is that it lags really bad sometimes  |

meh it would actually work real well.
teaching students to have that 'i dont care' attitude towards glitches/sploitz/whatever is a MUST. its difficult to learn(it was for me), but its just as important as learning any dueling technique. the only problem is see is whining (from both sides) and other attitude/behaviour related stuff. im totaly up for this idea... if not for the reason i stated in the begining of this post... then maybe because JA servers are empty 95% of time? _______________ playing jk3 since 30th of january (2005), member since 1st of february.

The exploiting rule should never be dropped, this community teaches players to play the way the game is meant to be played. The exploiting problem is caused by carelessness on the developers part.
As for exploiting, people will start rambling about it if this carries on. -Zeke. |

it wont work if its public - because you'll get the more ''timid'' students as you say being mixed with the more 'pr0' community with pokers sploiters, and with the general Anti SPloit attitude of teh academy, it will end in trouble. Maybe We could change that Anti Sploit attitude but meh I agree with Qin... It will end in trouble, with pub server We are giving exploiters and another pub players the open door what is saying "be like in your home"....First at all they haven't any clue about JA's rules when they(random players) are stepping to JA.net's public server ofcourse there will be kill trackers, members of the different clans who are recruiting others...etc situation is explained with one word - chaos. Well if admins and the whole JA's system can handel public server and keeping it under control, There isn't any problem for me... Sounds like a hard work  _______________ Still here | My Lightsaber |

This was brought up not long ago before and it was turned down. I feel that it will be the same this time around.
As Tal was just saying it would work and could possible give a bad image to the JA and a bad sense of what the public side of JK3 is like to new students and new people to the game. -Zeke. |
