A warm congratulations are in order for MOTREC, who has been promoted to the rank of Jedi Trainer today. Motrec has worked quite hard for the Academy for some time now, he knows his stuff both in-game and out. He's a mighty fine teacher and prides himself in keeping everything fun-filled. This is a much deserved promotion and I recommend all of you go to his profil now and leave him a nice love letter.  Congratulations, Senior Roll-Stab!! |

Due to a few security issues we needed to clear out and finish up, the passwords on the servers have been or in some cases are going to be changed. So be sure to check the server pages for the updated passwords before you go to play. That is all. |

You might all have noticed that Bubu has not been around too much lately. He already retired, kind of, but I hate to say that it really is official now though. Here are some words he wanted to say: Speech time. You might have noticed I haven't been around much lately. There is a reason for that, and here it is. The truth is I've lost all touch with the JK games and my final retirement from the JA is long overdue. There is nothing more I can teach here and it's time I vacated my place for someone better. Basically, it's time for me to move on. The only reason I didn't retire earlier is that I was afraid the academy was kind of heading into recession. I wanted to make sure that didn't happen. Now I know that everything is going to be just fine here so I can go in peace. I've made a lot of good friends during my time here. I won't name any names, you people know who you are. I will never forget you guys, and I will definitely stay in touch. The JA is an awesome place and I feel honored to have been a part of it. Good luck everyone, thank you for an amazing 2 years, and of course, may the force be with you... Bubu LET THE SNOGFEST BEGIN! |

Into the Sunset... -Virtue- Jul 06 06:47pm -42 comments- |

One of our much loved Jedi Trainers, Katan has decided to retire and persue greater things in the abyss that we nerds like to call "RL™". Here's what the gentleman had to say; Hey all, guess my time here is up. RL has gotten in the way, and, its not going to get better (at least not for 4 or 5 months). Sorry I have to leave. Maybe I can come back someday. Maybe. My music career is taking off a bit. I want to really focus on playing the clarinet/piano. I tried doing this, and teaching classes, but I just miss too many classes (usually because things get rescheduled at the same time as my class). I have so many things to say... Thank you {SKX}Darkblade, you are still and always will be my master, and one of my best friends at the academy. Keep in touch. Jacen_Aratan, also one of my best friends at the academy. Keep in touch with you too, you've stuck with me through thick and thin. Motrec, Lackey, and my other padawans: You all make me so proud, I wish I could have done more. So much more. Thanks for sticking with me. Aiden, Arina, Bambi, Angel and other D'kana's : You guys given me a great many laughs, thanks Virtue and the other JAC's: You guys rule. Sorry again, I wont be leaving this place completely, just not teaching classes I could never totally leave this place.Maybe someday I can come back (assuming the council would let me). Maybe GG -Katan We'll miss you Katan, you were one of the greats. Don't be a stranger, and we wish you the best of luck in Real Life. Peace Bro. |

Congratulations to Odan-Wei on sucessfully completing his Knight Trial! Not to mention becoming our first French JAK+!

I've been going through adding little tweaks to the site and fixing bugs and such. One thing to note is that we are no longer using the old hotmail account. If you need to get in touch with us please email fixthejediacademy [at] thejediacademy [dot] net. There's a thread on the forums tracking bugs. Please post there if you notice anything odd. Thanks! |

The_Academy v2 interview! -Sared- Jun 24 03:36pm -36 comments- |

This just in from Tido! Good job matey! While on IRC today, Virtue was kind enough to take time out of his busy schedule to talk about Version 2 of the Academy’s Official Map. Tido: So Mr. Virtue, what inspired you to make V2 of the map? Virtue: Cos I'm a perfectionist, and I've grown to hate v1 . Tido: Will the look of the map be the same? Or can we expect a new theme? Virtue: The theme of the Map is the same; however, the lighting is better. Some areas have changed. IE, The Fortress, Vladarion's Garden, The Pit, and the Main Hall. Tido: Can you describe as best you can the changes to those areas? Virtue: Minor changes have been made to quite a few other areas, but the ones I just mentioned are the vastest. I want to keep much of it a surprise. I have added a few secrets into the Map and I want everyone to find them themselves . Tido: How do you feel about the_academy and its popularity out in the pubs? Virtue: I think it's awesome and I'm really chuffed about it. It shows how much the Jedi Academy influences the public really. The Map can only be found here, it's not on PCgamemods, Massassi or JK3Files. This is the only place people can get it. Tido: Do you have any long term plans for a major redesign of the Academy's Official Map? Virtue: Hard to say. I'm always getting new ideas. Heck, when we were working on Beta 3 of the Old map, we decided that we hated it and that we wanted to start over. So I mapped the map we have now in under 3 days. Then purposely made Beta 3 into a shamble fest and we released it as a joke, heh. But depending on what the future brings, and what type of facilities the Academy needs, who knows? As long as everyone enjoys what I do, I'll keep on doing it. Tido: Lastly, when can we expect V2 to be out? Virtue: I made the mistake of giving out time frames when working on the Beta Maps, and it just lead me to be more stressed and unfocussed. So there is no real deadline to when Version 2 will come out. But if I were to make an approximation, I'd say within the next few weeks. Tido: Thank you so much for your time Virtue. the_academy is an awesome map and it's exciting to think that you are making an even better on. There is no way to describe how lucky we are to have you. Virtue: Well, if it wasn't me, it'd be someone else. Thanks a lot bud. Click here for a teaser screenshot! |
