THE JA IS NOT DEAD, NOR IS IT GOING TO DIE. Just because people do not wish to play at the same time as you do doesn't mean there are no players. lol dont have a panic attack mena, i was only asking what everyone was up to, an if ppl WERE playing i didnt say JA IS dead  an im glad it aint gona die that would be most distressing! _______________ RaiN!+ThundeR! http://www.myspace.com/solomongrist |

Now I've 3 jobs, but I don't think I'll pay the one ISP that's available for my neighborhood, 'cause they truly sucks. Soon I'll be outta here, but until then, no broadband in the house, except when I can get an unsecured WiFi signal from the neighbors, like now.
But..... I might try gaming at a cafe and see how that goes, though I'll look pretty geeky with my extra hard drive and keyboard as I can't play games on my laptops keyboard. _______________ American dollars are worth less than Imperial credits. |

Well obviously in duels that wouldn't happen if range was kept safe.
The 1.04 patches etc just made JK2 more like JKA. And I really, really hated that  |

Quote: The unpatched version 1.00 is a great game in JK2 I greatly disagree, and think jk2 1.00 is truly horrible gameplay-wise. It's probably the sole reason why i never developed an affection for playing it online, quitting it after a few days, and never bothering with it again up until jka got released.
Seeing people spam bugged instakilling dfas and backstabs that hit you even though you're way out of their range was a truly deterring experience for me. _______________ Find out more about the Jedi Academy Aurochs here and more about Masta here! Married to Kain. |

backswings and some other attacks were abused way too much as far as i know. resulting in insanely buggy gameplay. _______________ playing jk3 since 30th of january (2005), member since 1st of february.

When I read your message Leiv I just see a stupid hatred for JKA. No offence, but somehow it feels like you want to blame it for destroying a part of the JK2 community. I'm here to play the game, and I like it. Its a unique game. And JK2 turned into a wannabe JKA game. The unpatched version 1.00 is a great game in JK2, but the patches makes it more and more like JKA and yet you say JKA sucks.
( You can say that the patches dont turn it to JKA, but then uninstall the game and install 1.00 and you will notice that there's no chat bubble, no 3 Swings and constant damage ) I loved that JK2, JK2 nowdays for me.. Is just a bad version of JKA. That's my opinion, obviously ours differs alot
Take care! |

Both jk2 and jk3 were always good in my book. Yet, I started out as a die hard CTF junkie. JK3 was much better with CTF, in my opinion of course (flame shield turned on!), so I naturally swayed towards it. Although JK3 has seen better days, thanks to a huge mod base, it's going to stay strong for a while to come. Sad to say, proper CTF died back in 2004.

Quote: There are a lot more active players than most people seem to think and people are STILL buying the game. Granted not very many, but it's enough to keep the game going. Way more than jk2 could ever dream of right now.
As for jk2 being better than jka, i think it really boils down to preference. Personally, i prefer jka over jk2 anyday, and think jk2's gameplay is rather lacking and unsatisfying. _______________ Find out more about the Jedi Academy Aurochs here and more about Masta here! Married to Kain. |

The "real" JKA clans are going down? Like what clans? And what specifies one clan as being more "real" than another?
People have been saying JKA's dying since 2005. It's nearing the end of 2007 and the base community and the JA+ community is still pretty big. I don't see it "dying" any time soon. There are a lot more active players than most people seem to think and people are STILL buying the game. Granted not very many, but it's enough to keep the game going. I don't see why so many people complain about the JKA community, I think it's great and it's one of the main reasons I'm still playing. On a side note: :allicane!

The problem is, JKA failed compared to JK2. JK2 had much less bugs, a better community, better gameplay, nicer mods, and none of the crap that goes on with JA+ users (sleep+slap+slap+empower+telefrag+ban rofl) and so on. JKA had different graphics (worse imo) glitched gameplay (wiggles, impales, transitions)JA+, and much more saber ghosting.
Jka is a dying game. Give it about 2 more years max, and it'll be all gone. People will either go back to jk2, or find better games. I know some of you don't want to believe it, but the real JKA clans are going down. JA+ clans are on the rise, and I can tell with the way they're run they won't live for too long. It's what I see happening to jka. Is anyone truly here to play jka? Or are they just here for the community? |

I feel your pain. No one seems to be online whenever I look, so either they are hiding (Would not surprise me), or not many people play anymore. _______________ Pity the Insomniac Dyslexic Agnostic, for he stays up all night wondering if there is really a dog. |
