I was wondering, has any thought been given into the JA possibly making a transition into a school for TOR? My old clan is taking the approach of becoming a TOR community site, and I think the JA could do one better by essentially becoming the top information base and instruction academy on what is sure to be one of the best MMO's ever.
Not trying to say JKA is dead or anything, but it's an idea and I wonder if you guys up there have given it any thought. Also, I AM GOING TO BUM YOU ALL <3 |

I have been looking into the intergration of TOR and the JA for some time now. And to some extent I do belive that it is entirely possible. As some have stated already, we know too little to really work out if teaching, or anything along those lines, is possible and/or needed. We will just have to look closer on that aspect when the game is released. But I do think it entirely possible to have the games as a part of the JA community. With a board dedicated to it. Perhaps character build pages, tactics for various classes and so on. All depending on how the game will function. I have not yet started the discussion amounst the staff about this matter. I will do that now. Seeing as Plancore sorta started it for me. Isn't that always the way?
- HW This is awesome! I totally agree that it's too early to work out details, but I think we're at the point where we should entertain the concept of a transition to what could be the most successful star wars game of all time, and possibly WoW's biggest rival. Btw, I never wanted to put words in the JAC's mouths or anything, I just wanted to see how people felt about this because I would LOVE to see it happen. |

Throwing in another section for the game wouldn't hurt. Use the class function to form groups and whatnot. _______________ "Deos fortioribus adesse." |

If we could still have the academy for JkA then maybe, just maybe, if the idea is to change the academy for TOR then its no!
That game will only be the best mmo ever in graphics and known has the mmo that killed kotor. Putting the history 300 years after kotor only shows the lack of creativity of the devs and LA -.- This comment was edited by Rick Shan on Jul 29 2009 10:46am. |

And to iterate over the last comment, value for money and constant updates keep things going.
Replay value isn't an issue with good MMO's if its done properly. |

As opposed to single player games that grant wealth and status upon completion? Multiplayer games never had an end. _______________ I fite for teh usars!1 |

Had a discussion wit Virty bout this 6 months ago...catch up will yas =P _______________ Come on now, every Generation X boy wanted to be Luke Skywalker. Is it because he was a whiney farm boy from some backwater hack planet? No, it's because he was a FREAKING JEDI. He could block lasers with his lightsaber. He could levitate droids & rocks & crap with his mind. Come on, he choked two pig dudes with just a simple gesture. He cut off Darth Vader's hand and kicked him down a flight of stairs. He got his @$$ zapped by lightning from the geezer Emperor, stood up and said "s'at all you got b!tc#??" |

Ok well;
This is my situation and relation to TOR atm...
I'm spending some money for new computer so I can get highest possible enjoyment for the game... Also I have founded myself a special kind of fund, which I'm going to spend on TOR's montlhy feeds... All this potential just for I can play that dang awesome game with my fullest and get rid off my RL totally
It would be awesome sentiment that I could waste this potential with awesome guys and grls.... Naturally, I don't know any other awesome places where I could find these fine lads as in JA.net... So my proposal for JA.net is; we could found a special kind of JA guild... Similar kind of thing as The Aurochs, but the idea concept would be based on; - Those damned humans who are still stuck'd to JKABase, JO could have some other game to think about... We don't force you, We want to offer a possibility.... - Those damned humans who have lost their inspiration to play JKAbase, JO + "are pain in the arse with their oldbieness and how awesome their time was at 10000 year before Jesus Christ" yet they still enjoy from JA.net and friendly athmosphere of it...etc They could have a option from this game
- This game is perfect opportunity for treating our mentality and bond this community together to be even more awesome as It is now... - And when mentality is fine, people probaly would get their insipiration back to play JKAbase, JO again and to come back our daily routines... Just something think about ? *bounces away* _______________ Still here | My Lightsaber This comment was edited by Maher on Mar 14 2009 12:55am. |

Star Wars: The Old Republic (SW:TOR), a massively multiplayer online game, is a type of game which you usually pay a monthly fee for and are granted access to make characters in that game's virtual world, where many, many other players also reside. SW:TOR, in particular, takes place in the Star Wars universe approximately 4000 before the movies and is considered the third game in the Knights of the Old Republic series of games. Further versions of the game will likely be released as updates or expansions to the game. |

TOR does look to be quite awesome, assuming it's not a time demanding, soul consuming grindfest but has other cool features to keep it alive, I think discussing it here would be great for activity, since I assume a lot of people here will end up playing it anyway _______________ Fervent supporter of duelling - leave a message if you would like to battle!

Quote: As Masta said, curious players might venture into the dark abyss that is JKA (hopefully avoiding the path of the damned that is JA+). I think that's fairly easy to arrange, since the JA will be very happy to teach them all the basics and whatnot, staging propaganda campaigns against these kinds of mods as they go.
PS: I'm sorry to hear you're still in denial of what is historically inevitable. Don't worry though, our revolutionaries will make sure to provide you with a good fight, so you can be buried with the knowledge of having died bravely for a corrupt, anti-social system. _______________ Find out more about the Jedi Academy Aurochs here and more about Masta here!
