Guest Sherack Nhar Posted July 17, 2001 Share Posted July 17, 2001 If everyone will be able to become a jedi, casual and hardcore gamers alike, then I'm not even sure that I'll buy the game. MMORPG stays around for a long time compared to other games. Take a look at Everquest: it's been like, two or three years since it's been released? And it's still as popular as ever. Now, if everyone can be a jedi in Galaxies, imagine how it will be 2-3 years down the road! Thousands of jedi per games, in an era when Emperor Palpatine sought the decimation of the Old Religion. Darth Vader himself won't be able to run after all of 'em! If they absolutely want everyone to become a Jedi, then it must be REALLY long before becoming one (I'm thinking about 3-4 years). Plus, it must be hard, and when you FINALLY become one, you should be on any Bounty Hunter's list and have the Empire chasing you throughout the galaxy, because that's how it would be in the real Star Wars universe, IMHO.

matt-- Posted July 18, 2001 Author Share Posted July 18, 2001 This is a direct quote from www.starwarsgalaxies.com (the developer's digest) What about Jedi? Tell us more! (posted December 4, 2000) Raph Koster: They will be very hard to become, and very very very rare. And we will continue to adjust the system to keep it that way.

Jimi-Wan1587246508 Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 Matt-Windu, forming a JKII.NET'ers town is an awesome idea. We should definitely do it. If and when we do, what should we call our town? Which planet do you think that our town of kick-ace gamers should be on? And which faction do you want this town to be? I'm thinking neutral, just so we can accomodate all of our people. But, what do you think? Ok, Sherack Nhar, you have very valid points, and i agree with you, except on the length of time it should take to become a Jedi. I think it should only take roughly 3 or 4 months, for an average gamer like me, who will play this game 4-6hrs a day. Otherwise, its far too long in my opinion. I mean, it should be hard to become one, but shouldnt be that long, unless your sent on a quest and you cant figure it out for the life of you. Now, your idea for a Jedi to be on the lists for bounty hunters, is an awesome idea, i love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt-- Posted July 18, 2001 Author Share Posted July 18, 2001 Well...we'd have to decide not only on a planet...but on a server. I also suggest we put it in a safe area, so that in would be violence free...except for NPCs. Keep it neutral is a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcfanbill Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 i would love to be a nobody smuggler or mercenary. and im am really hoping that they will impliment a way to play sabbacc. cause i have been waiting to play sabbacc for years! that would be great, unless i lose my possitions, then it would, uhh suck. ...and does the fact that you will have to buy the game, and then have to pay monthly charges piss anyone else off other than me? the game and the concept look awersome!! but i dont wanna pay monthly charges if i only get to it onve a month, or not at all. if they would make it free i would be much more apt to buy it!! i prob will anyway though.

Chewie_Rips Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 "We are not “pre-determining” whether a character can become a Jedi or not. Also, being “hardcore” is not a qualifier used in becoming a Jedi. Our system is designed to allow the casual player, as well as the hardcore player, the opportunity to become a Jedi. 4.03 from Jedi and Light Sabers:" That was a quote from FAQ on thier site. Here is another: "yes. Any character, regardless of species, has the potential to become a Jedi."4.05 Who knows???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent! As long as there aren't more than a hundred of Jedi per games, I'll be fine with the system. acdcfanbill - I prefer to have to pay for a small monthly fee than to have to endure a Diablo II-style lag-fest because of the lack of server maintenance.

matt-- Posted July 19, 2001 Author Share Posted July 19, 2001 Yes. The system will be constantly modified to make Jedi rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcfanbill Posted July 20, 2001 Share Posted July 20, 2001 if you pay small fees, im gonna be torqued when i gotta shell out the big bucks to buy the game too, maybe the price should be reduced ten bucks or something. do ya think that there will be a 'free' beginning period?

DashRendar11587246510 Posted July 20, 2001 Share Posted July 20, 2001 A JKII.net planet would be cool. We can have battles against people and all that good stuff. Battle of JKII.net, baby! Yea! Where do u get Sabacc for Windows?? I want it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt-- Posted July 20, 2001 Author Share Posted July 20, 2001 Not planet...town I think www.blueharvest.net has Sabacc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcfanbill Posted July 20, 2001 Share Posted July 20, 2001 sabacc is pretty cool, but i wonder why they have suits when you never use them, the only things that change are face cards. oh, well, just to make it interesting i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
