Through advertising, prior and current friends being recruited, absorption of other disbanding groups, promotion of JoF's saber teaching formula which was thematically branded as the "7 Lightsaber Forms", and through close observation of what worked and what did not for the major clans in the game: the clan had managed to establish a core membership with a steady flow. Following this mass recruitment the community also purchased its first dedicated server host.</br> | ||
After several incidents of altercations originating from people within the clan had taken place over time, the question was brought up of establishing a systematic way to recruit, evaluate and measure the quality of a potential member. This led to the first iterations of the Jedi of Freedom Academy (JoFA)<ref>[http://www.jofacademy.eu/ Jedi of Freedom Academy]</ref>. In this manner, the member roster would consist of people that shared the same frame of mind and were community-driven looking to invest in a longterm stay. The clan would go through several phases of people joining and leaving but would eventually be shaped into the close-knit group it aimed to cement. | After several incidents of altercations originating from people within the clan had taken place over time, the question was brought up of establishing a systematic way to recruit, evaluate and measure the quality of a potential member.

Through the efforts of several members (namely Fifthforge, Zefilues, Exonimus Ez, Milamber) and Aldro himself, the community saw the release of its very own custom-made home map called "JoF Temple" - tailored to its needs of housing open gameplay, trials and council meetings.</br> | ||

Visitors would be able to create applications which would then be stored in the form of a database. The database would constantly evolve including things such as the applicants' activity, days on trial, evaluations from other members and more. This would be the first major advancement in the filtering process that was originally envisioned.</br> | ||

For a considerable amount of time JoF ran its own private [[Lugormod]] server for its members through Aldro's initiative. Once every two weeks the members would gather on the server and roleplay. It ran the The-Council-RPG map and featured a story background written up for players to immerse themselves in. Members such as Flanagon with previous Lugormod building experience took up the reigns of continuous development for the server. He would create several interesting systems, quests and bug fix the many issues the map had received due to poor building experience prior. However the future of Lugormod came to a halt when the engine limitations began to show in regards to entity limit. Occasional events still take place once or twice per year in order to allow for new members to experience the Lugormod server and the roleplay universe of the clan. | |||
