Ok, awesome. I personally will not most likely be able to attend. I will have EO represented though, through one of my Officers. I might be able to show up late. 4PM Is just a bit too early for me lol.

I suppose it will happen in the same location as the previous Summit?

Esoteric Order has the full 10% Exp Increase bonus on the Imperial Side! We also have a 5.4% Reputation gain bonus!

Unshrouded Alliance has been booming in population! Really nice to see such interest. EO's Relics of the Order events have kicked off and are looking to be exciting! Come join in on the fun!

Faith in Jung Ma is all I was getting at. I think there is a lack of it, and I find this lack disturbing.... I know EO and UA will remain on Jung Ma, until the day we are forced off.

Ok, so the 16th is the second Imperial Summit? Good. I've noticed a lack of interest after the Summit began. I'd like to know how many Guilds and Players are still willing to put forth the effort to help make Jung Ma's RP community better? In spite of transfers, I still think we have a lot of people that can help make this server attractive to those who may be tired of Eban Hawk, or maybe want to try some RPvP. So is there anyone else out there still willing to participate? It looked promising at the actual Summit, but I just haven't seen much effort other than by a few people.

Oh I agree that transfers will affect Jung Ma, but I'm tired of seeing the one sided argument of it. Does anyone stop to think about the players on the other servers who want to come to Jung Ma? I've heard plenty of people talking about it, especially on RP servers. People who'd like to participate in World PvP and RP especially show interest in Jung Ma. I'm in no way saying that Jung Ma will not suffer some population drain at first, but I do believe very strongly that after the people who don't like it here move, we will stabilize out and possibly gain replacements on those who left via other servers with the same "Grass is greener" mentality.

Everyone exaggerates a lot in this thread. You all act like Jung Ma will have 10 people on it when server transfers happen. You do realize a fair amount of Jung Ma's population don't even use these forums, so how can you assume the server "Will be dead/died" when you don't even know half the population's opinions? So many people are quietly enjoying the game on Jung Ma, and never speak in General or post on these forums. Why would anyone assume those people will leave because of 30 or so people on the forums want to? How about those on other servers who have commented on coming to Jung Ma? What about all the Guilds on Jung Ma that are staying? All the people who enjoy the server, and like its smaller size and closer community? Not everyone cares about Rated Warzones. Not everyone has to use PUGs to do Operations and FPs. Doomsayers are always doomsaying, and Haters are always hating. Anyone who believes Jung Ma is "Dead' or "Dying" is just fear mongering. So what if our population isn't as big as the others. Its still fun, still a good community, still has a lot to offer. I think that if you don't like the server, you should be able to move, but for love of the galaxy, just quit trying to drag down its reputation. Quit trying to make it look like after server transfers are here, Jung Ma will cease to exist. Quietly move to whatever server you *think* will be better and leave Jung Ma alone. Is it so hard? You got what you wanted, Server Transfers. Sorry for the rant, but it really is annoying to keep hearing all the negativity surrounding Jung Ma. I like the server very much, and I don't believe it will die at all. I know many people who feel the same way I do.

I know that the next "Summit" meeting (I think Republic version?) Will be the 16th. Is there a time set for this?

I think it is highly possible. They may have decided that the entire game/engine or what have you needed to be worked on, and these "Graphical Updates" will mainly be under the hood fixes that allow for things like Chat Bubbles. I'm hopeful. I'm also hoping it fixes some of the lag people complain about haha.

Since Lisentia has been good enough to create the IC threads regarding the Imperial Summit, I thought I would take the time to create the thread to discuss the OOC organization, event planning, and coordination of the members of the Summit, and the members of the Republic variant. Basically, we can discuss anything OOC here, regarding the mentioned topics and whatever else we can think of. Some Topics for thought: -Events (Both RP and Non-RP) -Server Issues (How to make it better for everyone) -Guild Issues (Help each other with potential issues.) -Organization of Summit Meetings -Alternating Summit roles (Guild/Individual) -Possible RP Hooks for each Guild -Further advancement of the Summit (What are some long term goals/ideas ect.) -Organization of the Republic Side (RP and Event wise) -Coordination between members of the Summit. -Admittance of new members to the Summit -Possible "Notes" regarding each Summit meeting (For those who cannot attend) -Other Summit, Server, and Guild related issues or topics. This list is of course just a few things we can think about in order to help perpetuate the Summit's goals of creating a tighter, closer, friendlier and over all healthy RP community, and Server. Please discuss! Also, here is the Link to the SWTOR-RP forums for those who need it: SWTOR-RP Jung Ma Forums.

Darth Shade has pledged her resources to helping advance the Empire's information network and help destroy the Republic with the aid of the other members of the Summit. Within this message are contained the holo-frequencies needed to contact Darth Shade. Together, and without senseless inner bickering we will bring the Republic to its knees and gain control of the entire galaxy. For the Empire, Darth Shade.

RUMOR: It has been rumored among the citizens of Coruscant that a rogue Sith from an unknown order has been spreading a mysterious illness among the citizens of the areas surrounding the Jedi Temple ruins. It is unknown as to who he works for, or with. There is also talk among many throughout the Galaxy that Darth Shade is in charge of some sort of cult. There are no substantial records or any solid evidence to support these rumors though. Darth Shade is mostly thought to be an influential leader of some backwater planet that no one cares about. INFORMATION: The Unshrouded Alliance is actively seeking any information on said rogue Sith Lord and Darth Shade. They are also well known for hunting a "Ghost Organization". An Order only whispered of, that many in the Republic do not even consider real. They pay handsomely for information leading to solid facts regarding the two subjects of interest.

I think this went really well. I hope it goes equally well for the Republic side. I'd suggest that when we meet up on the Republic Side some of us that helped create the Imperial ideas join in to help them organize as well as we did (if not better) on the Empire side. I know Unshrouded Alliance (Myself most likely) will attend that meeting.

I can agree with this. On Jung Ma, leveling up is a blast having to not only dodge NPCs, but also enemy players! Plus, you can host HUGE world PvP events (Which my Guild does often).

Still waiting for a hint that Chat Bubbles are on the way. I'm hoping that they are put in in one of these summer updates. I wasn't too impressed with the bullets they put out in the "Summer of SWTOR" thread personally, but the addition of Chat Bubbles would ease that pain quite considerably lol.

I think this idea has potential. Perhaps something akin to a "Group Pick Up Point" where members of your group could fast travel to the leader of the group's position. Star Wars Galaxies had this mechanic and it made things alot easier. Its useful for those times when you have to wait for someone to walk all the way across the map because they haven't unlocked the right taxis or their QT is on cooldown.

Those are very nice!

I Highly support this idea. I'd like to know if I am standing near a Guild member by using the map. Sometimes you just can't see them any other way lol.

Well, unless they have a lot of hidden gems in the future, it isn;t looking to bright for Chat Bubbles. Not one mention of them in any of the 2.2 posts, or the "Summer of SWTOR" post. I'm holding out hope that they will be snuck in ONE of these next patches though.....

Today marks the first day of Unshrouded Alliance Week! If you're interested in joining our Republic side to help thwart Darth Shade's evil plans, then this week is the best time to do so! Just contact Kyxax, Kennava, Sunnan, or anyone in Unshrouded Alliance for more information! Or PM me here!

<Esoteric Order> will be alerted to this meeting, however, my RL schedule is quite unpredictable and I may or may not show up myself. However, it is on our Calendar now!

Lot of great RP guilds still around. We're not all dead. Esoteric Order has been RP since day one and is still chugging along nicely. We work around the restrictions. The link posted above is full of great RP Guilds that are still active today. I'd highly recommend you look through them and see which one appeals to you most.

Spent all day yesterday writing up a thousand years of Lore for the Order. I'll have to do the same thing for the Alliance next, but after I'm done with the Order... So Much Sith lore... so many words in notepad... My eyes are burning lmao.

We've now got a page on FB. Feel free to Like us! EO/UA FB Page. And don't worry, no one can see who you are.
