Are people still holding their ranks in JA?

When JA releases, are the same people still gonna have the same ranks otehr than the leaders? I don't think its fair considering that its a new game and things have changed. I don't think anyone should just be able to start as a JK right when the game comes out. Are the JKs gonna have to regain their ranks? and JATs too? how is this gonna work since there are two new sabers and styles?

Kueller: Thank you. The knight's primary role is still to keep the peace and such.

The JAKS are more admins then anything else anyway. Even if they did suck with the new game they could still fulfill their admin responisbilites.

There have been discussions about this already, I think includign this one we've had 7 threads. I don't want to search them up, but concluding from those threads and all the good input there I can tell you ppl will keep their rank and you don't have to be worried. The JAC's are working very hard to make the transition as good/smooth/pleasant as possible. And never forget JAK/JATnes is not about skills in the game (not a lot at least) it's more the other aspects in gaming. The being police on the server and the ability to teach ppl. So I think there isn't gonna be any booting JAK's and JAT's back to JAS's. And be glad with that, we'd loose a very important backbone that way.

Don't forget that a lot of the mechanics are the same.

Sure, maybe the combo sytem will change. Sure maybe the specials are different. Sure, there are more saber style options BUT!!!!! the ability to land and time a blow will remain.

For that reason alone do I think that the system should stay the same. I know damn well that Luke, NFF, Exar and the others would kick my ass severely (and you too, HW:) ) even if I got the game a week ahead of them, and we duelled on release day.

Don't forget that they'll be searching for the differences (easier for them, as they know JKII better), and that many of them have pre-ordered their copies in readiness.

I know where you're coming from, and I can see how irritating it would be to be outranked by a mere stripling (LOL), and I'm not making fun of you. Nevertheless, I think it is a willingness to help and ability to teach/mediate that our JAK/JAT/JACs have that elevates them above us mere mortals....:)

And if you're thinking that they'll abuse the trust we place in them, just remember these things to bring 'em down.

1 - SMILEY RULES :) <--------
2 - POIPLE PWNS!
3 - Anyone who thinks otherwise is purely derp.
4 - You are better than me :D





Tho I think that Jacen should be spanked down to JAS!
