Map Rotation

I just want to say that I love the Jedi Academy map, its a true work of art. Too much of a good thing can become a bad thing, so I am asking this...

For the love of all that's holy, rotate the map on the home server.

There's only like 500 maps out there that could be chosen from.

Disclaimer: This post in no way expresses any explicit dissatifaction in the way the Academy works. It is merely a suggestion stemming from the boredom caused by logging over 1000 hours of playing on the same map. This message will self destruct in 5, 4, 3, 2, ....

Definitely the latter!

Its OK to have the same map. Posts like this never get taken seriously anyways. Whatever, see if I care. Dammit n00b, shut up already! It was nice to see though for a brief flicker of time that the majority of people responding to this post actually agree with me. Doesn't matter. Do what you want, I don't give a flying f**k.

Sure it can get boring, but only to a certain extent. It's not so boring I can't bare it. I actually enjoy playing on the map so very much. :)

If that was meant for me...

I am not being harsh or angry. Too bad I can't write in a tone of voice on these things.

Im just stating the facts as I know them..:)

Funny looking at how some people have responded to the friendly idea of a map change every now and then :)

Ooh.. well, in that case, I suppose we could probably run a custom map once in a while? I mean, not do it every day or every week, but once in a while, for a bit of a change. Like when we put Beta 2 up a while ago. :D

Does n00b actually mean a NEW MAP? Hahahah, away an' sh*te man, make your own map! Mind you, I don't know what's more boring - Playing on the_academy, or playing on the_academy versus n00b... oh wait, yes I do! Definately the former! :P

Though, in all seriousness - These kind of ideas are better thrown at the JAK's, JAT's, or JAC's. Forum posts like these just make you seem like an ungrateful shite. :P

And I'm really not going to bust my ass making Official Maps for the Academy if they are only going to be used 10% of the time.

If you would like a map changed for a while, ask a JAT. Otherwise it'll stay on our own, Official Map.

There are many problems related to map rotation im afraid.

Preferance
Not everyone will enjoy the maps you enjoy. With one map everyone knows what to expect. They know they can use certain rooms and have great duels without falling of a ledge etc. I personaly dislike alot of the maps i have seen in public servers. We are the academy, we play on the academy.

Rules
The rules were formed for the JA map. With new maps comes new problems. This might seem silly to you. But alot of the times we need rules about everything. Or else people will cause issues and just refer to the lack of a rule for that given thing.
And I can tell you right now. I am not sitting down and making rule edits just cause of the addition of maps.

Download
More maps = more downloads. And there we have cluttered up the servers once again. The skin purges will be done for nothing.
Plus, not everyone want their base folder filled with alot of cutom maps and crap...

Oh well..

Thats off the top of my head..

Maybe we could make maps rotate on one server
(WP for example) and see if it works and if people'll
play on it. If they don't it's quite simple and
otherwise we could maybe make all servers rotating.

I would like the occasional map rotation as well, playing on the same map every time gets boring.

n00b's got a point there. Even though I don't go to the servers anymore, I know what he means; and how it feels...

Yeah, Kamino just plain sucks. But I do agree, every once in a while we should change the maps.
