The Jedi Academy

Out with the old and in with the new -DJ Sith- Apr 02 04:03am -18 comments-

We've been mulling this over for a while. After meeting with the Council and the leaders of the Jedi Academy Aurochs, our awesome competitive team we've decided to dissolve the Aurochs. Everyone agrees that the Academy's needs are best served by the Chewbax0rz clan. They've got the good looks and grace that fit right in with our philosophies. This change takes effect immediately, and we'll close the Aurochs site down within a week after we wrap everything up. Please see a council member if you have questions. Current Aurochs are more than welcome into Chewbax0rz clan. Have fun, everyone!

	A JAK From Afar! -Kaelis- Feb 10 01:45pm -13 comments-
	Well its finally the time for a new Knight, the first of 2008 at that. He's a pro CTF'r and passed his trial with flying colours, so without further ado i'd like everyone to go and congratulate FullMetal as our new Knight coming in from the big U.S.A. Expect to see some CTF classes coming your way very shortly.

The Force Unleashed on Vanity Fair -doobie[notretired]- Feb 07 10:20pm -8 comments-

Ahoy everyone, it's your old chum Doobie here... saw this article on one of my many gaming-related sites and felt like it was a good one for my homies in the JA to check out. I'm getting hte feeling that The Force Unleashed is going to be the spiritual successor to the Jedi games we've known and loved for years round these parts. Sure, it's for the consoles, but between you and I, I've used my xbox 360 a whole lot more for gaming recently than my pc (I can't afford to upgrade, not that my 4 year old beast of a laptop has any upgrade options). Oh and speaking of beasts... just a heads up, the article is a looooooong one!

	Rin's Christmas Map on the Servers! -Virtue- Dec 21 02:54pm -8 comments-
	Rin Mintaka's Christmas Map is now on the US JK3 Home and Classes Servers and will remain there until after Christmas Day. Come have a party with us! The map can be downloaded from here!

Christmas Time -Virtue- Dec 13 03:04pm -20 comments-

It's been a while since we've had new News here, so I figured most of you wouldn't really mind what sort of content it was, you'd just be happy to see a new news post, fulfilling your hopes that there may be one or two of us that are still alive around here, hehe.

Mr. JamesF1 has written a new article entitled Christmas-time, and seeing as it's also been a while since we've had an article posted, he was worried that people wouldn't see it - it's a good article so I figured I'd post it here in the news so that more people could potentially see it.

In other news, Mr. Rin Mintaka has built a Christmas map for us. A few people went onto the JAA Longhorn server last night (thanks for your help there, R2!) to beta test it (I was supposed to go too, but couldn't make it in the end

) and from what I heard, it's a pretty decent map. So we'll be putting that up on our Home Servers over Christmas and having us a little Christmas party.

There's no real dates set for this to happen, you'll all be informed when the map is up and be given the link to download it - at which point, just join the server(s) whenever you like and proceed to party with us.

As for the Euro Servers (including JAA's Jaktorow), yes, they're down. The company that provides the connection for our box in the datacenter has been hacked for the second time in 6 months... we're pretty annoyed about this and are currently in the process of setting up an entirely new box (with far better specs) in a different datacenter, if the former company manages to get itself sorted out soon, then we'll carry on using our current game server box temporarily until the new box is set up correctly, which could take up to a week.
The US JA Servers are still up though, so we can still use those.

In closing, I would just like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and hope that you had a good Thanks Giving for those who celebrate it. Please make sure you take care in your travels this season, the roads are icy, it's freezing cold outside and it can get quite foggy, please take care.

	Euro Server (and JAA) IP Change -Virtue- Oct 08 09:12pm -5 comments-
	Just a quick note to let you guys know what due to some lag troubles that we were having on our MBII Servers, our host has moved our box onto a new vlan. This means that the IP address of the box has changed. Check the Servers page for the new IP address to Euro Home and the JAA Server.

	Here we go again -Hardwired- Sep 26 03:38pm -22 comments-
	Well. Seems that we have another lost soul that has little of what is called a life. It has gotten so bad these past few days that we just had to promote him to Jedi Instructor status. I would like to be the first to congradulate Laziana on a job well done. Cheers mate.

I'll miss you all... -cHoSeN oNe- Sep 11 01:01am -32 comments-

I don't want to make this harder than it is, but my time here has finally come to an end. I am officially stepping down as JAC and retiring from the Jedi Academy. I have been here since the place had its debut back in 2002 and have had an excellent run. I've met a lot of special people and for that, I thank you. This is has been a great place for me and it will always hold a special place in my heart. I will miss you all so much and may the force be with you.

Keep in Touch!
-Mike

Jedi Academy Empire Mod (v1.02) -cHoSeN oNe- Sep 08 02:11pm -12 comments-

Well, it is finally released and sent to jk3files.com. Be on the lookout for it soon, if you're interested.

On another note, I'd like to say that this is the last and final version of the mod as I have moved on to other things in my life. I want to thank all of you for supporting my development all of these years and helping me create something that has molded the way we play the game today. I'll always remember it.

See you soon!
