Academy Biographies -Loaf- Apr 22 02:33pm -4 comments-
At the moment, I am making a document of Academy Biographies, with a page dedicated to each person. This will later be a *.pdf file, and available to you all. The way to be part of this is to fill out the form at:

http://www.thejediacademy.net/forums_detail_page.php?f_id=1860

Who knows, Ruuk might even make this part of the Holocron...

-----------------------
Also, the update is that Eclipse's classes are now back on, as his internet is now working.

    Yup, I've decided its actually time to use that JK2 disc that is in my CD drive, and I'm looking for a master to help me improve. Please help out a poor ol' breadman :).

    The critera would have to be:
    ¬ Less than +5 timezone from GMT
    ¬ Someone who uses MSN
    ¬ Someone who I am well aqquainted with
    ¬ Someone friendly (sorry Silent :P)

    Server upgrades in the hizzy *SOON* -DJ Sith- Apr 20 04:42am -10 comments-
    We've got some hardware upgrades planned for this weekend for the game and web servers. Expect random downtimes.

    EXCLUSIVE JK3 Info From Loaf -Loaf- Apr 19 04:00pm -32 comments-
    Ok, I have more info here (not from any site) on JK3: academy:

    ¬ Players won't be able to start with two lightsabers, it is a upgrade through progression as is the dual blade.
    ¬ The game is sceduled for a Christmas release :(.
    ¬ An RPG aspect will enter such as the ability to pick up items off of tables. This was very hard for Raven to do in JKII, and it took them three days to figure out how to have Kyle pick up a crystal off Mon Mothmas desk, now it can be done in hours.
    ¬ JKII's MP only force powers such as Absorb and drain will now be incorporated into SP for the mix and match force powers.
    ¬ The ability to choose your destiny. Your outcome will determine on which side of the force you chose.
    ¬ The Create-a-Jedi consists of many parts:
    Species, Skin Color, Head, Torso, Legs, Saber Color and Saber Hilt.
    ¬ Dark Jedi's now has a random style of saber stance. For example, some might have a single saber, some two and other a deadly double.
    ¬ Star Wars Creatures include: Jawas, Tusken Raiders, Rancors and other annoying critters.
    ¬ Some rice revealing outfits for the female tw'ilek :)
    ¬ Sabers can be used more now for destroying and melting items to help get to those awkard places.
    ¬ New acrobatic moves.
    ¬ Force Jump can be doubled up for further leaps.
    ¬ Raven chose not to use Kyle Katarn anymore as his story wasn't very easy to develop on, especially as he retires from mercenery work after JK2.
    ¬ "Bigger Explosions and Less Stupid Puzzles!"

    Well I hope my little scoop there keeps you going that little bit further..

    A bit late, but cool none-the-less -Loaf- Apr 18 09:49pm -5 comments-
    This has been on jkii.net for a while, but i wanted to post it here because of the cool little extra on the site.

    Lucas Arts has set up an E3 page for its 3 games: Gladius, Jedi Academy and Galaxies, and the site is:

    http://www.lucasarts.com/e3

    The little extra is the three boxes underneath the Lucasarts logo at the top. If you click on the Jedi Academy one, theres a cool little animation that will please the eye :).

    Enjoy.

    Whats that? a Teamspeak2 Server? -Huxley- Apr 18 01:20pm -24 comments-
    Its for voice-chatting, with a microphone, or a headset, (about $15 at Radioshack)
    Please click on the link below to download the free teamspeak2 client. Dont get any other verison or it probably wont work.
    TeamSpeak2 Client Download

    PLEASE use appropriate language at all times!

    And I have left it open for everyone to create their own channels. This way teachers can have classes in a voice channel, while being on the server with the class. Because teamspeak can run in the background while you are playing jk2.
    To connect to the server, you need a password. To get the password, login, and goto the servers tab and click on '[ja] Teamspeak Server'.

    Enjoy!

    Would the real IRC channel please stand up? -DJ Sith- Apr 18 07:50am -12 comments-
    Boy were you as confused as me when everyone up and moved the IRC channel to quakenet? Shucks howdy I sure was! Apparently the masses have spoken and they say that GamesNet is the pits, while QuakeNet is stable and has much more European servers. I don't mind so long as it works best for all, and in the day or so that I've been here it seems fine. So I guess our official irc channel is now #Jedi-Academy on the QuakeNet IRC network (irc.quakenet.org). Enjoy! And my apologies for the confusion.

    Double Accounts...Update. -Silent Whisper- Apr 17 04:46am -16 comments-
    Some of you may of noticed that a few people are no longer around. This is because a week ago I gave an ultimatum for people with double accounts to come forward. Those that did were sparred(and I thank you that did tell me), those that didn't were banned and banned for good. The Academy rules and discipline are not to be taken advantage of. With that said may these people learn some respect and one day realize that every cheater will eventually be caught.
