I would not change servers, because server transfer is way to expensive and a lot of my friends, my girlfriend included, want to become a Jedi at some point. I wouldn't want to play without them, also I think Jedi don't even need to removed, they need to be balanced. Saber block being the main imbalance.
Increase BH mission payouts to a worthwhile sum (like 300k per Jedi) and fix saber block, because it's a broken skill. And you won't see that much Jedi anyway.

Deffinately, its true i dont like jedi, so this would be a move forward, ive seen posts like this on the GCW forum and i agree, jedi shouldnt exist in the timeline.. To be honest i believe the Jedi was put in because what SW fan doesnt want to be a jedi.. hell i want to be a jedi.. but i play a jedi on KoTOR, Jedi Accademy and that series, people might say im a wannabe jedi when i say i dont like them and all but why would i want to be them when i play them on far better games suited it.
The thing what gets me the most is that its all these 9-14 year olds that see that you can become a jedi and all of a sudden there bugging there parents for the game..thats what gets me the most.. all those 10/11 year olds chasing jedi thinking yeah im gonna be a jedi!! i can then say im a really good player etc.
I dont want to babble on further so im just gonna leave it at this Jedi should not be in the game as a playable character, but there should be a Jedi server (like the TC 2 right now) and the devs should impliment a jedi character slot trade from the galaxies to that server for free, that way i feel the entire community would benefit.

I came to this forum to see if I could find a server to start on that was new and underpopulated in hopes of avoiding the whole Jedi thing that has become more and more of a bother for me.
I was surprised to find this thread and I think it should started as a petition/plea in a more appropriate forum.
I would definitely pay $30 to transfer to this new server even if it meant losing all my gear and money, player cities, etc... for the short term.
I fall into the category of 'unlocked' and gave my Jedi-containing account away about 2 weeks ago.
When I first began playing SWG, my only experience with StarWars has been the movies. I have become a fan and have begun roleplaying my characters and have read a lot of the books now in my free time. I don't feel having Jedi in the timeline is correct and the last publish which drew Jedi out of hiding ruined whatever StarWars feel of a hunted character I had.
I would love to play on a server where I had no contact with Jedi.
It would be nice to be on a server where the economy did not revolve around grinding jedi xp.
Please start this as a petition in 'In Concept' or whatever forum would be more appropriate than 'Game Guides'.
I may go do it myself.

I think as long as our discussion remains calm, rational and doesn't turn into a "jedi flame" then there is no reason it would be deleted.
My hope is that someone at SOE will read this post and give us a point of view from the other side, be that positive or negative. I've made my rants about Jedi in other threads, but this one is not about ranting, it's just real reasons people would rather not play on a server with jedi. There are some people who don't like the idea of playing on a no-jedi server, but since we're talking about one server out of 25 or so they wouldn't really be effected. I would pay extra to play on a no-jedi server, and I would pay to have all 3 of my accounts transferred to it as well, stuff, badges ect or no stuff, badges ect. It's just what I want. It's what a lot of us want.
As for the coding difficulty of a no-jedi server, it wouldn't mean a lot of changes really. Just remove the NPC's from the village and it's done. No quest = no jedi. No reason anything else has to be different. Probly about6 lines of code to change... TC1 and 2 run with different code than live, so it can't be all that hard.

It wouldn't even be that complicated. all they would have to do is intentionally "break" the jedi system on that server. Just break whatever event it is that triggers the visit from "the old man". You can't get the people in the village to talk to you without first getting the old man to visit you. the current new theory is that you need to collect badges to get him to notice you. So on one new server, set it so that the requirement to get the old man to visit you is to get a "Prof: mastered Jedi" badge. It's a catch 22 system. You can't get a mastered jedi badge without having gone thru the quests already, and you cant get thru the quests without having mastered jedi. I know there is no "master jedi" badge, but one could easily be created secretly for this purpose.
The village with all the NPC's can still be there, but they just won't do anything.
(to future posters, please refrain from responding to the above post from Vikassi, It won't do anyone any good)

Vikassi,
I happen to be a decorated combat veteran of the Iraq war myself, and I have several friends who are still over there as I type this, and so I bet I am more qualified to answer your question than you are to ask it:
Yes, we are fighting in Iraq, and yes we want a no-jedi server.
I have to add though that I'm pleased to know that people from this forum are aware that Americans are still dying daily in Iraq. But Vikassi, you don't know what you're talking about. This forum and our games and everything else we do is WHY those men are over there dying every day. They don't want us to sit here and cry for them, they want us to live our lives how we want, that's the whole point in the first place dude. I'm not over there anymore, but I can tell you exactly what's on their minds: getting back here to do exactly what we're doing, playing games and having fun.

I used to think that way. But I got wisdom from a friend and changed my opinion. snazle, what will happen when something you really don't like will happen to the game? Will you then appriciate people who just tell you to leave? I doubt it. This forum exists for several reasons, one of which is voicing our opinions about the game. Instead of saying "If you don't like it, leave" you should be saying to yourself "If I don't like what he's saying, I don't have to read it..."
Oh and have a nice day
