Everybody raise your sabers high for our new learners:

Looks like we're back in business. -DJ Sith- Oct 13 03:42pm -3 comments-
Hey gang. I wish I could say why the site went down. We have plans to move the site to a more stable providor so hopefully this won't happen again. But anyways it looks like we're back in black and on the attack, so get back to class kids. :)

Edit: Aristotle posted what was going on with the site downtime. Everything is explained here. Hmm maybe we wont need to switch now. :)

Trials for Learner are now open! -DJ Sith- Oct 09 10:05pm -14 comments-
The JAC's have been working out a trial process to get you folks promoted. The only one set in stone right now is the 1st rank (the Learner rank).

Earning the rank of Learner proves that you know basic knowledge of the game, the Jedi Academy, and a small amount of dueling strategy. Most of you I'm sure will pass this with your eyes closed, so don't worry. It won't be near this easy for Journeyman or Knight. :)

Here are the criteria for earning the rank of Learner:

Demonstrate your ability to perform the following moves:

(Note, I've added these descriptions, taken from Shadow Warrior's comment, to help clarify the moves)


  • DFA (red style special move)

  • Yellow Finisher (yellow style special move)

  • The Lunge (blue style special move)

  • A backspin (red or yellow backstab)

  • A backstab (blue style backstab)

  • A front kick

  • A side kick

  • Wall-walking


You must duel a JAT in the stance you're most comfortable with and have another JAT witness it. These JAT's will ask you a very small amount of simple questions about dueling strategy and the Jedi Academy. If the JAT's trialing you approve you for the rank of Learner they'll let one the Council members know to make the rank change official. Please post any questions you may have to this post.

Like I said this rank is a simple one, merely to make sure you have a grip on basic moves and tactics. The hard stuff will come later for you ambitious folks. :) Good luck to you all!

The Jedi Academy is under renovation! -=Derelict-Crusader=- Oct 05 10:51am -48 comments-
Just a quick heads up; I am currently EXPANDING the Jedi Academy. You guys asked for more and you will get more, but keep in mind I will not be putting everything into the JA. It has a theme and I will stay true to that theme. I finished most of my sketches for the final "lost temple arena" opppss I mean... yeah...

Anyways, expect MORE Jedi Academy real-estate soon.

PS - I've been spending some time on the servers; observing the playing habits/patterns and I have modified what you guys like to call the "matrix room" and I have also cleared the 3 platform room to make way for a new design. (I never did like that room anyway! Blame DJ and Doobie for that) hehehehe ;)

I'll have some preview screenshots sometime this week or possibly weekend.

-D
