I have always had ideas and thoughts in my head for what I want to do with my life. Some are related to EJA and all that has been built over the years and others are very tech or music related. Sometime in the fall/winter of last year myself, Erebus and Ace discussed what EJA would be in a year or 2 years. It might not have been that specific but I think we all know thats what was being discussed. We had this new game, SW:TOR, that would be coming out and would fill that void that MMO's often leave, super indulgence, inevitable burn-out and then longing for something different.
We were all Galaxies players along with Eagle, Makha, Icey and many others. Playing Galaxies together was one of the greatest true team experiences I have ever had with these guys. It was a true moment in my life where it was clear that this is what EJA has brought me. Something I could feel and touch with my mind and heart. Now I was friends with these guys before Galaxies, they are practically my brothers in every sense other than relation. When SW:TOR was announced we all spoke with one another about how rad it would be to take EJA into that realm. That teamplay and truly be a group headed on a path together. Being part of something that was truly bigger than ourselves.
So Erebus Ace and myself discussed this and decided that we would be taking EJA to the SWTOR world. We will still keep the Jedi Academy roots as that is our birthplace. We want to create more than just a "clan" we want to create a true gaming community, rooted in our belief that a fun enjoyable environment is what people want to be part of. But of course I have to take things to the next logical level. In my mind I want us to be bigger than JA or SWTOR. I think that we have enough diversity that we could be part of many many games. Maybe even reach into the Console world(future very very future).
So I proposed that EJA become more than a multigame clan, that we become a Gaming Community attached or part of multiple games where we feel we can have a strong presence and grow. EJA is something that I know I wear or take to almost every game I play. It is a badge I wear with pride and my hope is that there enough people elsewhere that would like to help grow this group out to the rest of the world.
EJA is going to grow, we are going to become a world brand. At least thats what I want to happen. My passion is EJA and it is my hope that others can come to share that passion with me.
