Well, what SOE can't do now is get rid of the Jedi who are currently... Jedi. They can't just make 50% of the Jedi population non-Jedi again... of course, I wouldn't put it past SOE to take that approach.

SOE only really has two choices to go with this... they could either create NEW Jedi-Free (or Limited Jedi) servers, or they can consolidate servers. Consolidation would make more sense since building new servers would cost them more money. They could just use the newly empty servers and make those non-Jedi servers... So really, SOE wouldn't have to spend a whole lot of money on it.

The main arguement behind the fact that a lot of us want Jedi-Free servers is because the game has gone from GCW battles to Jedi Battles. Fights use to be determined by numbers and "skill" (coordination). Now large scale battles are determined who's side has the most Jedi.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I've held my own against Jedi in GCW battles... mainly because that's what I'm built for, being a BH and all. But some people who love the GCW aren't suited for and/or don't know how to fight Jedi. These people don't stand a chance in GCW's now.

What "new" Jedi-free servers would do is restore SWG to what it use to be. The crafters there would be crafters... not crafters playing "single mom" to a Jedi account. Doctors will once again start servicing Coronet and Theed. Entertainers will start to fill the Cantinas again. Why? Because they are people who are actually (somewhat) dedicated to being a support profession. You won't have GCW battles being decided by how many Jedi fight for each side.

I miss the old SWG. SWG before Jedi were unlocked was the best time I've ever had in SWG. I could deal with having a small number of Jedi on the server, added through my previously explained lottery system, and a dead system to keep them in check... to insure that their population doesn't skyrocked out of control like it did before.

I want the old SWG back.

This is a thread for ideas and discussion of those ideas, so I wont blast any put here. I would rather see a server with NO jedi at all...ZERO. Then we could have a timeline correct server, any jedi ingame would be NPC only and players could not unlock jedi. Keep the profs balanced and free from the ever swinging nerf bat. I believe we would see an increase in all profs including crafters and entertainers as well as combat profs....make BHs able to hunt smugglers and perhaps a few other player profs, but most importantly BALANCE the game and give us jedi-free servers! SO let it be written, so let it be done!

I didnt quite uderstand what you were trying to say, could you be a little more specific?

i would prefer a pre pub 9 server with a limit of jedi say 20 ish or something

I think the reason why this thread has had so little nay-sayers is because most people would enjoy having two types of servers.

I believe nay-sayers are quiet here because there aren't any valid arguments to this idea.

Even jedi must agree that the it has gotten way out of hand and something must be done to put this game back on the right track.

Hmmmmmmm maybe not maybe I would actually like to see a timeline server where the game doesnt revolve around jedi!

I would too. The way that the Jedi classhas been implemented into SWG is absolutely horrible. Many of the other LA titles have gracefully handled this issue by not trampling all over continuity and moving the timeline either ahead or behind the movies. I have no idea why SOE refuses to simply change the current setting or change the way Jedi exist in SWG.

However, as long as Jedi exist in SWG we will continue to see 70% or more of the population with lightsabers or steadily grinding towards them. SOE has stated many times that they will not support different types of servers so I think your solution might fall of deaf ears. (like so many other good ideas)

My solution would be to not have separate servers but rather ADD more classes on the same level as Jedi. Right now I can grind a full BH template in about 2 weeks or so whereas my Jedi has taken me over two years. If there were an equally powerful Mandolorian or Hutt type class that required just as much effort as Jedi then I would never even haveconsidered Jedi. Most of the people grinding Jedi simply want access to a stronger template and could care less about holding a lightsaber.

If a more powerful BH class were introduced that required just as much effort to complete as Jedi then Jedi would have absolutely NO room to complain when they were gunned down by someone in Mando armor wielding powerful ranged weapons and pimp-a$s gadgets. Don't even get me started on Smugglers...

Open up a couple NEW Servers that would have NO Jedi on them. Make it impossible to unlock a jedi type char.

Let the Jedi have thier jedi filled servers as they are now.....let others that desire to be in a SW universe more like the movies go to the NON-Jedi Servers..... IF you want to hunt Jedi still? Play on a jedi server. You want to play a jedi? Stay on the jedi servers. You want Jedi Wars for the GCW. Stay on servers like they are now..... IF YOU WANTED TO GO AND PAY TO PLAY ON A SERVER WITH NO JEDI EVER - YOU COULD ALSO PLAY ON THESE PROPOSED SERVERS!!!!

seems i've been slacking off in the forums

Yes i'd pay to move to a jedi free server.

I have several friends... call them "fallen comrads" (ex-bounty hunters), who agree, Jedi have gotten out of control on EVERY server. I don't think it matters where you go. You port into the Mining Outpost on Dantooine, you hear a crack of a saber. You make your way to the Theed Cantina and you hear the activation of a force power.

I miss the days when you'd hear rumors of an NPC Jedi in the hills of Corellia, far away from any civilization. I miss the days when Jedi were "mysterious" and you would be in awe when you saw a player Jedi... right before you blew them appart for the saber TEF...

Man, We need to find a way to get this to either Tanks or the Devs.
