And after a very long wait... -Virtue - Mar 01 06:20pm |

First off, I'd just like to thank everyone who came to the Prom and helped us make it a totally fantastic evening (twice). The servers were totally packed! JK3 Home got overloaded and the party spilled over to JK3 Classes - it was awesome. 
Big love and thank you to SilkMonkey for helping to organise the event and for building this year's prom map. <3 Huge thank you also to our JA Radio DJs who made this year's prom what it was! - Zeke, SilkMonkey and Gregwarro. You guys rock our socks! As some of you may or may not know, we had a pretty productive JAK+ meeting last Saturday, just before the prom and there are a few changes in store for the JA. One of the most noticable will be how Classes are taught and run. Expect an update sometime next week on exactly what's going on. 
Now, for the next announcement - seeing as we seem to be doing things that haven't been done in years and having alot of fun with them, I may aswell let you guys know that I've finished v3.
It's going to be released this Saturday (3rd March) at around 8:00pm GMT. We'll all meet in IRC again while I get the Servers and links set up and I'll broadcast the download link in there first, then we'll all head on over to whatever Server we like and check it out.
Thank you all for your patience while I've been building it, I really appreciate it... I really hope it lives up to the hype... I'm actually pretty nervous about releasing it. 
Ah well... VIVA LA ACADEMIA!! |

I was thinking that earlier today actually TC, Virtue definitley deserves to be there. However i suppose he is commemorated in the whole map - every student that ever plays on that map here at the academy will know who it was that made it, and hopefully will also realise the amount of time and effort that went into making it.

The special grove with the statues should be of particular interest to you Smily hehe  It's funny you should mention that. I said to someone yesterday (I think), that there was a 'statue' missing. I think they look more like holograms, but there you go
Anyway. The missing 'statue' / hologram is of course none other than Virtue himself! I say this because ALL the people in the holograms are famous in the academy for one reason or another. I personnally can't think of anyone more deserving to be imortalised (spelling?) than Virtue. This is V3 guys, how much work does this bloke have to do before we give him his just desserts?

Bleh, I guess I said too much. I figured a hint like 'carved in stone' wouldn't be noticed by anyone since it's just an expression.. Sorry about that Virt, didn 't mean to ruin anything.

The new areas such as the outdoor or "Grove" area is very fun, and the new Pit is aweosme, plenty fun to be had there. Super mofo cool advert or Poster for the JAA, make sure ot check that out in the Bar. Viva La Academia!

Well i gave my initial (glowing) impressions of the map last night on its unveiling.
Again, Virtue has done an incredible job making this map everything we have been waiting for all this time. Its varied, interesting, detailed, and the perfect evolution of V2. Great work Virt, you have exceeded any possible expectations once again. /hi5 Oh and i agree that there was no need for a grand tour as such - part of the fun was just wondering around the map discovering things by yourself and occasionally bumping into people. However having said that it would be great to see some kind of event arranged to be held on V3 soon in order to build upon some of the hype from the maps release.

I had fun exploring the whole map (the parts I could get into ), on the WP server. I had some lag there, so maybe that's why I started getting motion sickness. That and because I was Force Speed running through everywhere 'cause I couldn't wait to see it all.
It's big. Huge. I love the varied terrain, outdoor areas, and the bunker. The duel rooms I'll have to get used to. They feel a little cloistered. But if they serve their purpose, that's more important. I do miss the old duel rooms, what with the huge area, high ceilings, and upper observation decks. They were fun to just jump around in, but that's not what a duel room is really for, then, is it? Can't wait to take some classes! _______________ American dollars are worth less than Imperial credits. |

Quote: The part about the no official tour this time wasn't really mentioned anywhere except on IRC. Besides, it is rather fun to explore the bunker heh. Considering so many people were waiting for the map, yet there were still bugs in it, Virtue decided to release what he had working atm. Yeah, figured. :p

There was never going to be a grand tour, the idea was that I was just going to release it and people explored it for themselves. Obviously, i was expecting you guys to hold somesort of grand tour like with v2, and was actually looking forward to it since i really liked the idea of doing something like that. However, seeing as that was never the plan, i guess it's fine to release the beta map prematurely.
By the way, i'd appreciate it if my words wouldn't be taken out of context. The part about the no official tour this time wasn't really mentioned anywhere except on IRC. Besides, it is rather fun to explore the bunker heh.
