I will miss you guys coming to kill me. I never once complained about Jedi nerfs, BH system, or XP Loss. I liked the system even though I usually lost XP. Even though I went to the dark side, I remained a BH sympathizer. I hope the devs reconsider player bounties after the new system is implemented. Until then, feel free to challenge me to a duel




Pre-Publish 9 Jedi roles:


Freebies -A few lucky players were handed a jedi toon to try out.


Hologrinders - The salutable players that ground out 20 something professions using the holocron system and wrought their madness on the galaxy.


Pre-CU Jedi roles:


Pre-Pub9 Jedi - These are the hologrinders. Their name had changed because the system to becomea jedi was still the same; however, the jedi class and risk had been altered drastically, so a new role was devoloped to segregate them from the new generation of Jedi....


Glowsticks - The new wave of hologrinders who ground their way into a new system.A loving term handed to those who thought the jedi were getting a little too bold and too populus for the the timeline of the game. This term would later become the label for any Jedi's lightsaber.


Ebay Jedi - An insightful few saw an opportunity in a fanatical market to turn profit on their SWG experience. So they sold their Jedi character on eBay to anyone willing and rich enough to buy it. This term was used loosely for many Jedi, but it was mainly coined for those who would get raped by three people in Bestine, because, since they didn't grind out the toon and become famaliar with it's strengths and weaknesses, they sucked.


Post-CU Jedi roles:


Veteran Jedi - As the community began to flood with the most desired class, the lines between pre-pub9 and pre-cu began to blur. Many jedi who were either began referring to each other as "vets" to differenciate between them and the newer generation.


Respec Jedi -A few saw a flaw in the system which allowed them to grind out Jedi XP relatively quickly using the character respec option and the 12 hour timer. Many players who were only Force Sensitive before the CU went live became full template Jedi within 2 weeks.


SpinnerJedi - With the new grouping system in place and visibility eliminated within a group, every grinding Jedi soon learned that if several people got together and area attacked a lair, the mob would move to them, and be annihilated. Quick, easy, and relatively safe XP. Many toons hit full template in only afew weeks with this method.


AFK-grinder - After the release of RotW, someone discoverd the exceptionally easy-to-kill wooks on the webweaver path in the Rryatt trails. They gave a reasonable amount of XP per kill, and quickly respawned. A grinding group of Jedi could set up an attack macro and walk away from the keyboard for a few hours and come back to a full XP bank. Many Jedi still use this method to bank XP.


JeeBay - This term is an evolution of the eBay Jedi tag. With more Jedi being sold, more creative names were flying about. This one seems most popular.


Jedi roles to look forward to:


Elder Jedi - Jedi who earned their character by grinding out a rediculus amount of XP. Pre-NGE Jedi.


Xbox Jedi - It's coming folks. Just look at the new combat system.This new CU is geared for PLATFORM GAMING.


{insert console or derrogatory name here} Jedi- See above.



Did I miss anyone?
