SWTOR Free to Play: November 15th -planK- Nov 11 01:28pm -9 comments- |
|
Just wanted to remind everyone that SWTOR is going free to play on the 15th. They're also launching a premium store that lets you buy things with "cartel coins" - if you were subscribed before, or still play, you'll get a bunch of these to spend.
So, if you didn't check out SWTOR when it launched, it's worth a look. Our guilds are on The Red Eclipse and Jedi Covenant servers. |

Blade Symphony -planK- Jun 01 07:33am -7 comments- |

Hi guys! I just wanted to direct your attention to an independent game title being developed on the source engine called Blade Symphony.
In a nutshell, the game is being developed along the lines of the Jedi Outcast/Jedi Academy saber system and could serve as a successor to the JK series. I highly recommend checking it out - it looks very promising. |

In recognition of his contributions to thejediacademy.net and his formidable in-game skill in Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, we're pleased to announce that one of our long time Jedi Knights Masta has now been promoted to Instructor.
Thanks for all your contributions to the Academy. You're one of the good guys, and I will always appreciate all those lessons you gave me in Starcraft 2! |

Tonight, join us as we celebrate a decade of Star Wars gaming with fun and games at the Jedi Academy Prom! We'll be kicking off Prom shenanigans at around 7pm GMT on the JKA Events server. We'll be using the JA Prom 2007 map, and we hope to have JA Radio broadcasting live for your listening pleasure!
I'd also like to take this opportunity to offer my most sincere thanks to Maher, Setementor, Masta and everyone else who was involved in organising our awesome 10th Anniversary events. You've done an amazing job! If you see these guys around, make sure to give them a pat on the back.
Hope to see you all at the Prom! BAH GAWD AN EDIT: Due to unforeseen circumstances, we are currently using the_academy for prom shenanigans until we can figure things out and get the prom map uploaded. Hang in there! |

Ten years going strong! -DJ Sith- May 18 01:41am -16 comments- |

I can't believe I'm even writing this. Who knew that we'd still be here 10 years down the line? Frankly, I think it's pretty amazing. It takes a special group of folks to keep these things going so long. The Jedi Academy is seriously and easily one of the best and brightest gaming communities that I've had the privilege to be a part of.
We've been through quite a bit, haven't we? Some of our members grew up here. I've seen kids graduate high school, finish university, move around the world, get awesome jobs, get married, have kids, and all the while while keeping in touch with our little community. We've also lost a fair share of students and staff, either to other communities and games or to sickenss and death. It really is remarkable how these experiences have made us grow. Personally speaking, it's hard to believe I've known some of you since you were twelve. We built this community around Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy. I think it's only natural to move on to more modern games, but I'm glad that we still hang out here. Our budding little SWTOR community is doing well, and you should definitely check it out. Incredible and super mad props to R2D2, Laziana, Alex D'Kana, Plaaank, and everyone else who's been pitching in on that front. I also want to drop a hat towards the other council members. Being a JAC is a pretty thankless job, and it takes a special kind of masochist to keep it up. Big ups to Virtue (incredible ups to you, you're the king of all things here), Setementor, Solitude, Lirael, Jacen Solo, Silent Whisper, Chosen-One, Buzz, Huxley, Aron, Orion, Avalon D'Kana, Massadoobie, and the guy who started it all JediSith999. We've had more knights, trainers, and staff members than I can count. Thanks for keeping everyone on their toes and for donating your time to us. Finally, I want to thank every one of you for keeping up alive, for having fun, and for giving all of us Star Wars nerds a cool-ass place to hang out on the Internet. SWTOR's given us a bunch of new members who have really been pitching in too. A special thanks to you guys. The best online communities are made from the best people, and I fully expect to be making another post like this ten years from now. I suppose I can gush on forever, but I'll spare you that. Please comment on this post if you've got an awesome memory to share, want to reminisce, or want to catch up. I'll see y'all on the servers! |
