That was the exact thing I thought when I read it.

Yes and yes. And I, too, like the idea of the village being instanced.

All of them were turned away from official Jedi training for various reasons: political ramifications, age, some did not display the qualities of a Jedi knight, and other personal reasons.
Hey, does this mean that 95% of the current 'Jedi' will be turned into just FS players? Cause this describes most of the 'Jedi Knights' already!
•Do you like the idea of the Village of Aurilia?
•Do you like the idea of adding a quest journal?

Also keep in mind force sensitivities need to be something you can Actively acquire, seeing to the bonus's they will add having it limited to certian players gives them an unfair advantage over players who have not been "Lucky" enough to have earned the ability to do them.
For Example to set this in.
A Force Sensitive crafter has an unfair advantage over a non force sensitive crafter, and the non force sensitive crafter has no way of competing with a force sensitive crafter.
And getting to that level of competion won't be a matter of time or skill but dumb luck.
Still the skills should get harder to aquire as you progress, and going from force sensitive to Jedi should be a much larger hassle and take much moreTime or Luck.
I agree here with ZelousShadow. First off, I love both the Village and the Quest Journal system. (nice)
What ZelousShadow says here is true you have to allow everyone have a chance to be aware of their FS. It should be something everyone can achieve with some work. Otherwise you give the Crafter, PvE'er and PvP'er with FS ability the advantage over the others.
Like many have said we know this Timeline had many Force Sensetive being. What should be difficult should be the development from FS to Jedi.

There is one way to solve the FS unlocking / difficulty / path issue.
Make other professions a worthy alternative to Jedi.
If you do this, you can make the path as open or closed as you want, and you won't have to worry about making it not too difficult or too easy. Just make it long enough to deter all but the most dedicated gamers. Does this put Jedi as a "powergamer only" profession? Yes. It should be. And non-powergamers wouldn't care about this if the alternatives were just as exciting.

Okay first off, I rarely post although I've been around from the very first.
Which leads to secondly...wow. So much "wow" that I feel I have to comment on this.
Most definitely this is a good thing, if you guys can start rolling on this type of content I think you could really make a name for yourselves.

Not really. The notion that a village (read 50 or so)of FS people can exist in a universe where the Emperor and Yoda (to name two) can sense disturbances in the Force from light-years away is unreasonable at best.
From a gameplay perspective, this "remote village" will soon become the highest concentration of players per area in the game. The FS quests are the only new content and thus even people not interested in Jedi will be doing them.
I realise that if you are announcing it that it's said and done that this will be the way it is, but I hope that the majority of the system does not have these concentrations of players.
Do you like the idea of adding a quest journal?
Yes, it's probably a good idea. I see a vestige of WoW here.

Sorry, but everyone could have become a Jedi the old way. It was tedious, not hard. Besides, by your sig, I see you already have a Jedi character, so why should you be so concerned with how to get one now?

sounds cool, but is this for those who have unlocked? or for those who are still not jedi or both?

My only question and great fear is, will my 20 profs that i mastered pre-village count towards anything? If i was one prof from unlocking am i going to be ahead of the guy who has not done any of the holocron profs?

I like the idea of the journal and village... 
I hate the fact that Devs continue to ignore the majority by saying this will be mysterious... when 53%+ of the votes dont want it that way... they had enough "mystery" with those darn holocrons being "silent".
