They've just introduced guilds on the TOR website and people can start creating them on the website now, so I've created one for the JA.

If you want to join to be ready for when the game launches, find it here.

When i spoke to Dev's at PAX East they claimed they were dead set on getting the game released in 2011, but would not obviously give specifics. Looking most likely a late fall release.

Advantages to making a guild now is the fact that your guild name will be reserved on the server you are chosen for, as well as your 1st characters you create will auto join the guild eliminating the need for Virty to login on day 1, and invite everyone. Your character will get a popup window asking if you would like to join the guild The Jedi Academy, click yes and boomshakalaka your in the guild

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#??"

release date? pretty busy with school atm but I do want to play this game. is there any advantage to everyone signing up to a guild now apart from reserving the name? like does have more people signed up to your guild give you priority on the name or server choice or summat? :alliance::empire::jax:

Release window is between July 1st and end of the year basically. As for any advantage, not necessarily. There is some speculation that setting up a guild now will, in the coming phases of the guild hq section, place the guild on an appropriate server once the game launches.

No, 44% are Jedi Knights. :P
31% more are Jedi Consulars.

So 75% of the Guild are Jedi. Lol. :D

Aha, found the thread finally. I joined TJA on TOR for now. Being a mainly Euro guild, not sure if it will work out for me, but I'll be a member for now at least!

i needs moar virty in my life

Not as recruitment, since we're a US guild and 97% of JA members now are Euros but my guild has a pretty epic RP puzzle for anyone who wishes to try their hand at it. Anyone who played the Matrix Online might recognize the guild. Follow the signal

I've looked on the forums about that, apparently some names and words are indeed reserved, like one chap tried to create a guild called "Revan's Legacy" or something but couldn't because the name "Revan" isn't allowed to be used.

Also, the guilds that we create on the website will automatically be set up in-game at launch - apparently the website/game will determine the best type of server for the guild based on details, location and speciality, which I'm guessing is why there can be more than one guild with the same name (I did a search for "Jedi Academy", there's quite a few).

I presume individual players will get to choose on what server they want to play? No region lock like in Sillycraft 2, where I am unable to play with people from the other side of the globe?

Thanks JP, that was incredibly constructive. Now if we could get back to what this thread was originally intended for: that is, bashing TOR for crushing our hopes about kotor3 :sadface:

Speaking of being prepared, it occured to me that the name 'The Jedi Academy' might well end up a reserved name, meaning we can't use it. Might be prudent to have a back up name just in case?

That is actually a good point, although I doubt bioware would ban/take up that name for themselves. And if they would, they'd probably do it prior to allowing users to create their own guilds.

EDIT: And they'd probably take 'Jedi Academy' instead of 'The Jedi Academy'.. but who knows? I certainly do not.

i could have gone into a long winded explanation talking bout how you based your reviews of games off short sightedness or the fact you don't the mental capacity to understand what a good game is. But i was tired from a long weekend having in-depth discussions with TOR developers and posting my findings and reviews on various sites which i provide information for. Plus i figured i'd try and speak your language... troll. Also I'm 26 would you like to know my height and weight while your at it?
