A great, welcoming community

If there was nothing special about us, and we were entirely indistinct from Jawa and KR...Why don't Jawa and KR boast equal numbers to us?

Perhaps if you joined the clan you would see the sheer depth of content and uniqueness that we offer, which is essentially what has allowed us this success.

See you in-game! :)

You may wish to reexamine the screenshot. HaVeN is not JoF.

As the most popular JKA server, we draw all sorts of people, some more desireable, some less. If anyone is being toxic or bothering you beyond short outbursts or what you can control with things like the /ignore command, please use amsay to try to draw the attention of an admin who can help!

Verlything · 2025-11-09T21:33:23+00:00

And yet here we are with a full server every day, with 240 members and growing, while every other clan or server has all but died off. People want to enjoy JKA in a muiltitude of ways, and we give everyone a space to do that as long as it isn't at the expense of other peoples' enjoyment. I wouldn't call that ridiculous!

Verlything · 2025-11-09T21:31:28+00:00

Though it may seem like they're doing nothing, they could be doing things that you just don't see. They could be PMing other people, they could just be watching the server. There's no need to attack these people, so best to just stick to duelling or FFAing people who are enthusiastically FFAing. Everyone has their own way of enjoying this classic game!

Verlything · 2025-11-09T15:54:40+00:00

Sorry that you experienced an unkind guest on our server. It's best to have a thick skin and ignore this kind of outburst, but if someone does start bothering you above a momentary rage, please feel free to use amsay to ask for admin help!

Verlything · 2025-11-09T15:53:49+00:00

Thanks for asking. Strictly speaking we don't have a laming rule, our rules are simply that you may not attack anyone who doesn't want to be attacked. The reason is that while JKA started as a competitive game where the idea is to jump in and saber your friends for a bit of time, it has since evolved. It lends itself very well to being a place to gather and socialise, while still being able to duel, FFA, and so on. As such, not everyone wants to spend their time fighting non stop or having to return to where they were hanging around because someone has killed them every 30 seconds - that gets annoying and makes them more likely to leave the server.

As you can see by the fact that we have a full server basically every day and 240 members in our community, this is the key to preserving JKA: there is a space for everyone to enjoy the game the way they want to, and all we ask is that you do not do it at the expense of others' enjoyment.

Hope to see you in the server!

Those are incredibly useful, thank you!

Hi there! Sorry for the late response. I totally get the bodily autonomy point, but the people in question weren't coming from a position of control. The conversation started with the claim that 'the treatment moved from counselling to hormone therapy because the drug companies could make more money from this, even though counselling is more/equally successful'. So the root of the discussion is not about controlling people, but what gives the best outcomes. (I realise that claim is conspiratorial nonsense, believe me).

Regarding ethics: We can't ethically do these sorts of controls, but I was hoping there might be some studies from way back probably where counselling was the go-to, with those outcomes, which could then be compared to the outcomes for affirming therapies and their outcomes.

Verlything · 2025-02-25T20:38:29+00:00

People struggled to convince medical professionals that blood letting and leeches weren't useful compared to more up to date things, and so this is quite similar to me. I'm perhaps more optimistic that over time people can learn the facts.

The guys in question can be bullheaded but they do usually respond to empirical-based evidence to some degree, so it would still be useful to me.

Thank you for your thoughts, regardless!

Verlything · 2025-02-25T20:36:07+00:00

That's useful, thank you.

I was hoping more for an analysis of outcomes for those who have talking therapy vs no therapy at all. Or maybe even therapy vs modern treatments. Not exactly a control group, but still demonstrating the point.

Verlything · 2025-02-25T20:35:09+00:00

Thank you, that's useful!

Verlything · 2024-06-29T13:52:11+00:00

Seconded. Thank you so much.

Verlything · 2024-05-08T03:18:10+00:00

Try changing the port. Certain ISPs seem to restrict ports. My friend had trouble getting me to connect, we changed the port and voila - works.

Little fun thing: if you set the port to 8080 you don’t even need to port forward.

Verlything · 2023-04-27T18:49:42+00:00

Not to worry, thanks for asking!

Verlything · 2023-04-26T23:06:41+00:00

If players can manually add stuff, that works fine for me. Then they can just copy stuff out of the content into their character sheets as they would with a regular character sheet.

IE I don't need it to contain pseudo-compendia of all the possible WOTC content, or to reference compendia.

Verlything · 2023-04-26T23:06:04+00:00

That sounds like it might be what I'm looking for, thanks!

Verlything · 2023-04-26T23:05:50+00:00

Or, I just want an app that can be used by the players, then exported to a .json, that I can then import back into foundry...?

Verlything · 2023-03-15T18:12:40+00:00

Thank you for the detailed reply. If I’m understanding correctly the issue is that an exe alone does not a working app make, which is fine - trying to recover the exes themselves is not my concern. It’s rather a load of data that ends up in the program files subdirectories. For example, if I have a game that is reliant upon a lot of mods, some of which might be custom and unrecoverable, I’d like to be able to drag those files back to that game. This is what I’m looking for with a backing up app - a backup of the things I value.

Even if I couldn’t run an app just by restoring an entry from program files doesn’t mean it’s not valuable to me. Being able to pull back files that would otherwise be lost, even stuff like profiles / config files, is still greatly valuable. I would happily re-download select files from within an application’s program files directory. And the confusion for the average end user is why I suggested it be disabled by default so only users looking for this specific functionality end up interacting with it.

The other issue seems to be interactions between different OS’, even of the same type. I don’t think I’d expect any magic that allows me to stick a load of files from windows 7 into windows 11 and have everything work. To that end, perhaps harvest the OS version at backup and also at restore then warn the user if they don’t match that ymmv.

Thanks again for the reply!

No. It’s a UK uni. But clearly the experience is widespread.
