Nice resource - but it might be a bit out of date, just because WoW is not listed. And I don't think SWG still has 200K players, but I could be wrong.

Again, it is totally possible to implement this - but like I said testing will be the bottleneck, and right now SOE can't even put out Publishes without bugs for one system, much less 2. Part of this might be they need some better internal tools - from what TH was describing their bugs wind up being transported some of the way on Excel spreadsheets. Regardless, I don't see SOE putting more pressure on QA for a task which will flow directly in the direction of their marketing, even if that marketing is ultimately a bad idea.

WoW is listed, just not on the page you're looking at (there are three, SW:G is a 2nd-tier MMO, with MUCH less of a player base.) Just change the chart to "1" or "3" and you'll see other results. That chart is up to date and about as accurate as can be. No other resource on the web that I know of contains these numbers.

/agree - SOE is just plain borked.

IT IS NEVER REPEAT NEVER going to happen dont get your hopes up. There are too many Jedi but I realise that SOE isnt going to try to make Jedi harder because thats how they make their money. It is not cost effective to run a separate server they just wont do it.

i would go play on a no-jedi server. i think the GCW would be really fun again. I bet alot of players with jedi on other servers would play a character there cause it would be alot of fun.

I think they should have the village though, the FS skills are not unbalancing at all and you can do the end quest, but u cant go any further than that. No jedi.

It would probably not happen but alot of friends at work that used to play SWG probably come back to play on a no-jedi server so i think SOE would gain atleast from my perspective.

It would suck for BHs, but maybe on that server we can hunt smugglers.

<sarcasm>
Welp, OnmiScient has posted. I guess it's time to just close up this thread as there will never (repeat never) be a non-Jedi server.

OmniScient has spoken.

I would immediatley join this server and only play there, cause i like open pvp and remember the old base fight days 1.5 years a go. Then the first 2 Jedi were ready with the grind and killed 20 people in no time ... i saw corpse right and left of them each second (mostly ranged profs) then i died in 1 hit. Since that every base fight depended who has the better jedi on his side to win a basefight. All other profs were degraded to statists. Maybe some healers could help their jedi but general PvP died then. I saw more and more people quit the game or just went BH like i did. We had the idea to stop the growing jedi population as we saw what 2 jedi could do with our so loved PvP.

Today Jedi arent that strong but still stronger than any other prof and in hordes no one can stop them even a double as large group couldnt.

It makes me sad that PvP is only for Jedi in this game now and for BH who hunt Jedi. There should be a way to get back our old GCW cause for many people included me it is the endgame and not a Jedigrind and Jedi only PvP then.

id definanly go. and so woul most of my friends, the only ones who might not are the jedi. i think if we keep talking about it that SOE might catch on

or they could add some more glowsticks to the dncer prof which i know everyone has been dying to have since launch

I'm not even going to bother reading all the replies before yelling out-loud: HELLS YEAH!!!

I've said a few times before, and I'll say it again here:

I got this game because of the description on the box. I thought the idea of being a special operative for the Empire, a bounty hunter or a stormtrooper would be tons of fun! It's only a matter of time before a jedi comes waltzing in here (if they haven't already) to tell us "Cry more, noobs" or something to that effect. But this has nothing to do with being a "noob". I'm leader of BHA Ahazi, and I've taken out three full templates in the last 24 hours in-between PVPand taking care of guild business. This isn't about not being able to choose the marks I go after or being unable to complete the missions I've taken. I love to hunt. Sometimes I like to do quests. But I also love to just PVP, and it's impossible to do so anymore unless you've got a saber and forcecloak. I want a good, old-fashioned firefight! I want "Star Wars", not "hide, seek, and be diced". It would really be one thing if there were a jedi leading a group of rebels vs. a dark jedi leading a group of stormtroopers. It's about the other way 'round. Even at the height of the jedi, as the movies showed, the ratio of jedi to "normal" soldier was like 1/10,000. In this game, it's getting to be 5:1, jedi's favor, And there's not supposed to be any. Today, trying to just do some PVP in regular old stormtrooper armor,I was jumped multiple times by as many as eight jedi at once!And there's not supposed to be ANY!!!

The worst part: there's no practical purpose to even have jedi in the game. Yes, it's nice to have a master defender along to tank when you're doin' a tough dungeon. Other than that... Yeah, as it is now, hunting a jedi is fun. Pitting my wits vs. another player, trying to sneak up on 'im, spying on him and waiting for just the right moment to strike while at the same time trying to not be noticed... all fun. But I think I could be just as happy with Imperial NPC's sending me after Rebel officers, or Jabba sending me after Valorian's thugs. The new Boba Fett quest was AWESOME!! We don't have more of that kind of content for one reason: Dealing with jedi and all their BS is a full-time job for the devs.

If they created a jedi-free server and charged $100 to move my character over, I'd get the money... somehow, I dunno how, but I'd get it.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean someone's not after you.

As much as I'd love to move to this non-jedi or perma-death Jedi server, can we please stop say "$100"

It's only $30 to transfer...Let's not give the devs any ideas

U wouldnt have to change the code much, u can still publish the jedi code for all the servers, except that the one new server would have a command line in the server's code that prevents anyone from mediating at a force shrine. That way u can do all the force sensitve quests and thats about as far as you can get.

Dont take quests away, just the jedi please.

The issue I would see is not the amount of code, it's the amount of test cases it generates. If a change to BH is made now it has to be tested not only on regular servers but on the non-jedi server as well.

I do like the idea though, just so the GCW could come back from Jedi wars.

Ive tried postiing this same topic on other Forum boards last night...they never even lasted the night. They somehow disapeared during the night. They even got a few responses before I logged off. Most of the responses supported the Non-Jedi servers....then they vanished. I smell a conspiracy! lol. Im surprised this Topic has lasted.

Someone posted something about in the movies Jedi were something like 1 Jedi for every 10,000 soldiers. I think they were actually fewer than that. You could go as far as to argue that there were 1 Billion Jedi.. But that would still be just a drop in the bucket compared to the Vast number of lifeforms that lived in the entire galaxy.

On my server, before the pub 20, when we were using the Frinds list, I added over 500 Jedi to my friends list. And I havnt added anymore in over a month. Before pub 20.

My point is that there are ENTIRELY too many Jedi in the population, and I dont care wich timeline you choose to follow.

For thier Power, in thier numbers, they are throwing everything out of balance. Not to mention butchering ANY timeline. Something seriously need to be done.

Not everyone wants to be a Jedi. But even the non-Jedi pay thier subscription every month. Non-Jedi's deserve some attention too.

I started playing SWG about 2 months ago. Im MBH, MCM, and stopping pistols... I went to take on my first Jedi. It was hard to tell who my mark was 'cuz THERE WAS FIVE OF THEM, and for some reason I never got the marks name, even after i sent out the seeker. I lasted oh, about 5 seconds or so, then went to the village to start my grind. Hey, whatcha know, 7 more Jedi wannabes there!!

I cant seem to grasp how i got to level 80, force sensitive and as bad ss as I have become in two months?

as I see it there are two problems:

The proliferation of Jedi

and the ease of becoming force sensitive.

A timeline correct server?

You bet your wookie ss

- It's time the devs end the bitter fighting by giving the community a Non Jedi server. We have a few servers with TINY populations that could be changed to this ruleset. I support this idea because it punishes noone. - You can support it too. Click Here!
