griff38 Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 Seen 1 to many complaints about JKO being dead. Wrong. There are many reasons why it can and will stay alive for a long time. If it's dying why is JKII the most popular Lucasforum out there?

Boba Rhett Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 The fact that it's forum has the largest post count and the matter of the game itself being, "dead" aren't really related at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wassup Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 I think its cause of the Swamp we have such a large post count...but anyways I dont think JKII is dead yet, and I still enjoy it. Thats all that matters to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but I consider the forums a leading indicator of the popularity of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

master_thomas Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 Finally! A thread dedicated to the fact it's not dead! Yay! I said this on FatalStrike's thread, but we mappers, movie makers, modellers, skinners, effect makers, coders, and any editors I left out still cause it to grow. There are many new treats coming out soon. Forcemod 2, Party Crasher, Dark Forces, and many others. Our pessimists who say its dead can kill it by making others think it is dead and stop playing it. That kills a game. A game is dead when nobody plays it and nobody talks about it. I'm not going to stop playing this game for a long time. There are plenty of threads without Yoda's Swamp, but Yoda's Swamp has several threads with over one thousand replies including the Father Torque Foundation, which of course going to have more posts than almost any other thread. The Valley of the Jedi and General Editing both have more threads than the Swamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomMonkey Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 As another thought, if Lucasarts actually comes out with an expansion it will come even more alive!! also whered this dead thing come from , I mean its hard to say a game with close to 500 servers runnning is dead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shock ~ unnamed Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 Come on RPG saber newbies stop pontificating on the longevity of this game and fretting over long since released patches. The game is out, play it. Play it here too if you are any good. http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=94986 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpTheHotrod Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 400 of those servers are empty This is not all Lucas Arts' fault...it's also admins who decide to make all these crappy mods, put it on the server, then turn auto download off. Also, admins who fill their servers full of bots. I'm tired of seeing the only server with people on it ending up being 100% bots. Really, the ONLY good mod (game mod, not admin mods) was ProMod....all the others were crap. Een that jedi++ mod...it made the red saber freeze if you swung the saber. Swing...freeze for 2 seconds....then finish swing. It just looked so dumb. I'm more than willing to play with people though. I still enjoy sabering. I did earn the title Master Saberist in a tournament, after all BTW, although I'm now in charge of the Counter-Strike Division, we still do have a JK2 Division...but it's still growing. I'd appreciate some help by someone letting my clan use their jk2 dedicated server for an "official" clan server. (Only two people would need admin, myself and our JK2 Division's General). Would appreciate Jedi Master difficulty. Any takers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yolkboy Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 Thanks Griff. It's about time this thing was posted. As stated before, this game isn't dead. I hate all the threads that says that it is. Just leave and go onto another game. I for one don't want to hear people complaining. Let the people that enjoy JO keep it alive. And don't scare other people away. Let them make their own decision whether or not they like to play this game. I was playing a few days ago and this person kept on saying that JO was dead. I found it ironic since he was playing. Oh, and I know this might be a little off topic but I'll try to connect it: //This is my take... Don't be scared if you are starting to play this game... Read my Bold Statement at the bottom. I think the complaints are the reason why this game has gone downhill. On the forums and in the games. Since I already talked about the forums, I'll talk about in game situations. One is hacking. I hear people tossing this accusation around so much its unbelieveable. I for one have been accused of hacking many times. Second is players complaining about how you killed them. Again, I have made many enemies that can't handle that they were killed by a saber or just killed... Lets get this straight... I started playing this game when it first came out and still play it for enjoyment. And two, I don't hack and don't use binds (which I find worthless). For those who usually complain, here is my message to you. Accept the fact that some people are better than you... I did along time ago and even today... But, with that said, learn from them. Ask them questions or just watch. You can learn a lot that way. Oh yes, practice with real people when you can because no bot can simulate a human. Hope to see you out there on the servers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zodiac Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 well.. i don't have a good view on how alive or how dead the game is.. I'm sure there are many reasons for the game still being alive. But I just don't think the amount of posts on this lucasforum is a good reference to how alive or how dead the game is.. Mainly because a lot of the posts are complaint posts and posts about other issues besided the game (swampy). So i guess there are tons of good reasons of why the game may still be alive.. i just don't think the amount of posts on this board belongs in that category.

Emon Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 1. If it was dead, there wouldn't be so many people still playing it and posting here and so very many people editing it. 2. There is more to JO than just multiplayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKPiggott Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 What Emon said.. I've never played JO online once... ever... I'm only interested in the SP. In regard to MP, JO may be dead. Where SP is concerned, it hasn't even started living yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatalStrike Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 I can't be....can it? I mean what would I do ..... where would I go?! IT's NOT DEAD DANGIT! I CAN'T BE!!! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! People it's over. Time of death - 1.03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider AL Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 Foetal's still here huh. Look, if you don't want to play a game you think is dead, fine. Go away and pretend you're in Normandy or whatever it is you do. Honestly, you just can't get the help these days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topshot Posted March 23, 2003 Share Posted March 23, 2003 I'm glad this game is not dead! I love it like a brother! All I used to play was MP, but that got a little boring, so I tried the campaign missions. I'm a changed man! As for those who think the game is dead, they can talk all they want, but in the end this game will survive! I feel like singing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aoshi Posted March 23, 2003 Share Posted March 23, 2003 TWL Forums » Game Specific » Jedi Outcast » JO: Closing of the Team Ladders Author Thread New Thread / Thread Locked BloodyShark Jedi Outcast Admin 03-05-2003 03:42 AM / profile / quote -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recently the team ladders for Jedi Outcast have become extremely small. Because of this we are going to be closing them down. The 1v1 ladders will stay open and we will also probably be getting rid of the two forum system.

Prime Posted March 23, 2003 Share Posted March 23, 2003 I'm sure there are less people playing this game than before, but I always thought that the competative players that play in ladders and tournaments were hard core gamers. Don't hard core gamers always play the newest games? This game has been out almost a year. Of course there are going to be less players. But less players does not equal dead. Frankly, I think this is when the game is at it's best. The novelty has worn off, so those players that hop from game to game are gone. Those that truly enjoy this game are all that remain (except FatalStrike, who seems to be trying to convince people not to play for some reason). I'm having more fun now than ever, especially with all the great SP maps coming out. Really, JO is dead for those who want it to be, and very alive for those that want to play.

razorace Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 Fatalstrike was a total Promod groupie. Once Promod was discontinued, he lost interest in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
