Except you're looking at it from a community standpoint. Ravensoft have to look at it from a business standpoint - the master server costs them money, and none of the profit from server rentals ever reaches them. When it starts to put them at a deficit, it goes.

Well, they're either servers, or they're not. There's no such thing as "home-hosted server" unless you're talking about, like, an IBM Blade in someone's front room. Y'know, 'cuz a server is a type of computer, and all.

I'm betting most of them are just dedicated processes, but, Raven Software don't see a penny whether they're servers or just sub-processes on a computer so it's likely a moot point.

it all comes down to personal preferance and tbh ive played JA+ and i have no complaints people say it sucks this that and the other but why do people insist on coming on JA+ servers and saying how pro they are on base its like... but we arent on base... some people i mean really yes dfas and katas are annoying but they are in every incarnation of the game maybe not movie battles 2 but tbh the movie battles 2 community is a little too compitive for my liking i play jka to this day mainly because of the friends that i have made and play with it ticks me off when people say jka is dying i mean jk2 isnt dead so how can jka be dying if people still play it it still lives and i dont see jka dying anytime soon there is hardly any other games with as good combat system as jkas i relcently got the force unleashed for the ps3 and i have to say it was fun and all that but it just felt way to easy even on the harder diffucultys and it was just short as hell i finished it in two days and i have to say jka is superior to it sure it has fancy pants engines and stuff but it lacks the depth and community of jka or jk2 i just wish lucasarts whould realise how much a new jedi knight game whould sell and make the damn thing even on the quake 4 engine for goodness sake its just typical lets make a game that everyone can enjoy hardcore gamers are slowly being destroyed... sigh i dygress

As for the saber system, I still consider JK2 1.04 saber system to be the best in a Star Wars game so far. The only thing that keeps me playing JK3 is MB2, basicly I don't play JK3 or JA+ mod for it because of the bullshit saber system that's all about who is a better spinner and poke user.

Hate to shatter your hopes and dreams, but network staff and forum staff aren't FileFront employees.

jka has more overhead code so it is more sloppy then jk2 in terms of movment and combat. the trade off is jka gets more fun things so huray. also the developers of jka stole lots of ideas from the jk2 modders community, and the jk2 modders did a better job implementing there ideas then the jka developers {the less hitching}

that is just my opinin

i am a llama!

In terms of mods I have seen some aspects of JK2 such as emotes, flipkick etc which are exactly the same in JA+ but that's about it. There are a lot more new features than old ones from JK2.

Some people like me prefer quality over quantity (JA+).
