Everyone was a newbie here once. No-one (except doobie, dj and js999) were here since the creation. You MUST have found out somewhere about the JA?

So? Where did you find out about this community? Personally I was surfing at www.jediknightii.net (or something) and went to links and there it is. The Jedi Academy :o I applied ASAP and here I was ;)

What is your history?

It was just before dawn, they came out of nowehere....

NOte: always been a huge Star Wars Fan

Actually it was about 6 months ago. I was V new to internet gaming only playing MOHAA with my Cousins and on Pub servers, but got bored very quickly (Spawn-snipped-spawn etc). I saw JK2 JO for £7 second hand and thought why not. Played SP 1st few stages (pre sabre) seemed poor, compared to MOHAA SP. Then u get the sabre and force powers and it's like WOW. Finished the game and playing a bit on Pubs, not much though. I was getting patches etc and came across the Jedi Academy during a google search.

Bingo my life was destroyed.

I lub u guys!:)

I was feeling really bad that I sucked at JK2, so i went looking for help. I think I saw the link on jediknight.net. The first thing I did was get on mIRC to see if the peeps here were going to practice what they said on the web page. First person I chatted with was DJ Sith, an old JK1 player like me and he let me know the skinny about the Academy. I found a lot of nice people to teach me my first combo moves. Everyone was so willing to help me learn how to play! I played for a month on public servers when I first played JK2, getting my arse handed to me continuously. That doesn't happen anymore ;)

Ok here it goes:

It all started in JK2
I was going along joining servers, and getting kicked off them 'till I realized what 'laming' was, and I noticed people sitting, and doing all this weird stuff.
And of course I asked the newb questions, how do you get a double lightsaber? How do you sit? Untill finally I realized that it was this "academy mod". After I wasn't so extremely noobish, I started reading the MODTs on the servers. That's where it said: Author: ChosenOne, Visit us at http://www.thejediacademy.net/

So, I did.Looked around, started to sign up, when I saw the little box:
'I have read and agree to all the rules'
So, I read the rules, they sounded good to me, and I signed up. Application accepted, and I was in.
I took a few classes, though everyone thought I was distruptive at first, I got the hang of it. Then, started a clan, kinda forgot about this place, then my clan didn't work out, and they moved on to JK3(which I didn't have at the time). So, I decided to come back, but didn't really play that much because there was NO ONE on ther servers lol.

Then, the glorious day, I got JK3, and have been playing ever since!:D

nice story :)

As a Nerd, I'm obliged to stay on the comp 24/7. ^-^. So in my quest to look up stuff about the new Jedi Academy game I got, I found this :DDD
_______________
"Before reaching Knighthood, all Jedi make a sacrifice. It is not required by the Master, nor is it a part of the Jedi Code to do so. It happens naturally. A sacrifice which shows your dedication to the Force, and to a new life, based on selflessness. This may be someone close to you, that you come to realize you must let go of in order to follow your path. It may be a certain addiction, or passion for something that would inhibit your abilities. It is not necesarilly your choice as to what you give up, and it is also a mile stone at which will decide your destiny. Choose wisely, and may the Force be with you."

Well, I at first found out about it by myself, when searching some strategies to help my jk2 gaming.
But back thenm I hardly knew how to speak English, I had very little time to play, and I was also _very_ shy, so I just left it there.
2 years later (and 2 weeks befor this post), my clanmate Scooper came to the server for a duel. I soon noticed he had improved quite a lot. He told me about this place, and I immediately signed up.

Man, so long ago....

I saw it on www.jediknightii.net, back when we were jediacademy.jediknightii.net Man, their servers were crazy, so we'd be down a lot because of them. Or the site would be down. But this new site rocks in so many ways.

I shoulda printed a copy of the really old site so I could look back and laugh. And then there was the site way before that. That's another story, and was scary in its own way.

Man. Profile ID 1004. I'm starting to feel old.

Hooray for Google!!!

I actually WAS looking for some sort of way to improve my lack of skills. I used to just put on blue stance (in JK2) and randomly hit the attack button, but I'd still get my butt kicked by the bots set to Padawan difficulty. In my 1st 2 weeks here, I improved A LOT!!! I still have a long way to go, but I'm better than before I joined, that's for sure.

My classmates (Ulic, Freedon and Exar) were big StarWars & StarTrek fans and somehow found out about this Jedi Academy and told me. We all signed up around the same time, around September/October 2002.

I actually took notice of the Academy back when it was on the JediKnightII.net server... That was because I was searching for some other info on that site, and the link stood out. Unfortunately, it would be quite some time before I surfed the web with anything more than an old 56K modem, so I didn't sign up. I definitely liked the idea though... back in 2002 I registered, but my modem crashed only a month later. The old account is still here somewhere, though now inactive. The moment I received a faster connection, I immediately bought the game and signed up here. And it's everything I wanted it to be.

I saw this when Jk2 first came out. But I thought that the class system was strange and I thought this place sucked. But a year later I decided to check it out again and I joined. I found it in jediknightii.net or something.
