Thread: A TIMELINE CORRECT, JEDI-FREE SERVER OPTION?

I just honestly do not understand SOE. Thet went through great pains with the introduction of the Combat Upgrade in an effort to Balance combat professions, so that there would NOT be an obviously overpowered combat class...
Then they go and let Jedi flood the GCW and universe at large? I dont get that. What was the point in the CU, if all they were going to do was introduce a new Alpha class to dominate the GCW with?
DEMAN a Jedi Free Server!!
Ahh my dream come true. Would transfer or start a new character on such a server and might even not be waiting for my account to expire.
The problem with the GCW is that only jedi groups either imp or reb overt are running around and are looking for non jedi or a group with less jedi to slaughter them.
If we now would have more factions like Jabba / Nym / Nightsisters / and so on we wouldnt face this problem any longer. It also is logical to give jedi their own faction when the FRS is going to go live again.
That means no jedi can become imperial or rebel but can join Dark jedi Order or Light Jedi Order.
By this no non jedi would be afraid any longer to go overt and pvp like we all want to. Today there are more than enough Jedi to build up such a faction maybe even more than normal profs and it would be very clever to solve all problems at once. By this way it would not even be needed to have a jedi free server...maybe an idea for later but in a short term its the bet solution i guess.

Got my vote for a Non-Jedi server. Only Jedi I'd want to see would be NPC.

I am ALL for this!
So is every single player, and even some jedi I know, In my PA.
MONEY for SOE is a good thing and this will make them more PROIFT
NEVER give up the dream!
JEDI FREE SERVERS willhappen....we are the customers sooner or later it will need to be addressed.
EVERYONE wins if this happens:
SOE makes MORE money
Jedi get their jedi wars
Those that dont want to be jedi can play on jedi free servers.
Those that want to hunt jedi can stay on jedi severs!
Jedi all have alts they can use to keep thier non-jedi community and market going strong!
DO NOT BE THREATONED BY CHANGE!
Can we send e-mails to Devs or Mods or SOE itself?
SURELY we can take this to thier doorstep and let them know what the paying customers and futrue customers want so they can make more money!

i dont think perma-death is a good option for SOE. since the servers are currently 70% jedi already. I cant imagine they would keep playing with permadeath and there goes SOE's money when they decide to quit.
I say....
1) Remove the cloak option. They have enough places to hide already and cloak is constantly being exploited.
2) Increase XP loss 4X
3) Increase The income potential of Jedi over Knight status and place names of guardiens and masters on the terms.
4) bring back the random Holocron( reduced to 1 every 1 mill critter or npc killed on the server)drop to unlock the village quests. Then its not just a matter of grinding your way to Jedi.
then you will see a DRAMATIC decrese in Jedi activity without really hurting anyone. No-visabilty for jedi in groups was a good move. I have some Jedi friends and was bummedI couldnt help them out once and a while.
before you guys start crying about XP loss, keep in mind that not everyone was ment to be Jedi. In the begining, SOE said that it would take soooo long and be soooo tedious that many wouldnt even want to be one. I guess they were wrong...big suprise.
Ummm....You really didn't read this thread, did you? C'mon....I promise not to tell your teacher...I'm no nerc.
C'mon...You can tell us.
Had you read any post but the last one in the lot, you'd know we're calling for 1 or 2 SEPERATE servers, not permadeath or lottery on ALL of them.
Reading is fun-da-men-tal.

Actually, I like both Perma Death and the Lottery system.
This way when Jedi lose due to perma death, they go back to a regular char. and the next person on the lottery list becomes a Paddy. Keeps the jedi turning over and could create a very good set of Jedi... people who want to play them like Jedi, not TKM/Swordsman fight club geeks.
I think that Alt's could be preserved and the disposed Jedi can put thier name into the lottery after a period of time.
What's nice about this system is that either the Jedi will almost never be seen, or there will be good turn over. Heh

My sentiments exactly, but still we have naysayers...so we keep pushing and hoping!
