nil desperandum

Well the long awaited Publish 28 was released yesterday. In fact this morning I notice that there is already a 28.1 publish, but then this is to be expected when major releases are decended upon by the maddening crowds. Publish 28 looks to be a really good release. Lots of lovely new loot. My cybernetics are now working again and there are some nice new features like, /pvp to change your standing in the game from non-combatant to combatant to special forces and back again, rather than having to go hunting for a recruiter. There is a lot of whining about cloning sickness, but frankly its completely unjustified. Cloning sickness, if you don't know, is a 10 minute debuff (-75 to a couple of stats). Getting rid of the debuff is really easy... Walk into the nearest cantena and start watching the nearest entertainer or go pay a medic droid in a nearby medical center or you could just go sit in a corner for 10 minutes... I don't see what the big deal is. For more information the Publish 28 notes can be found here The Publish 28.1 notes are here

One of the last Legacy quests in Galaxies is one called "Working for the Government". You pick this quest up from Gallura Handerin in Corellia as part of the Lt. Jasper series of quests. The first part of this is "check the government drop boxes". You have to find 7 of the 10 drop boxes in Coronet on Correllia and check them. For the life of me I couldn't find any of the drop boxes anywhere, nor could I find any entries on the web about this quest. Having found some of the drop boxes I thought I would blog their locations. You'll find 3 boxes in front of the Guild Halls, one in front of the Cloning center, one around the banking and bazaar terminals and couple more in other place. Waypoints for the ones I found are :
-10,-4446
-86,-4617
-126,-4698
-179,-4386
-215,-4342
-239,-4398
-479,-4492
If anyone finds the other 3, please post them in a comment. A later part of this same quest is to find a missing courier. As it turns out he's dead and you're actually looking for a human corpse (-194,-4242) over by the large Guild Hall in Coronet. Hope that helps someone out, as post I've found for other quests have helped me.

Ok - So first of my addictions - Star Wars Galaxies or SWG for short! A friend of mine, Brandon (Arctic in SWG), persuaded me to try a trial of SWG back in January when his account of old was reinstated. I have to say that to start with I wasn't convinced, because I had been playing World of Warcraft at the time, but now I'm addicted!!! SWG is a pay to play game, but at less than £10 a month its not exactly breaking the bank, plus you can buy SWG and all the expansions (less the latest expansion) from PC World for about a tenner! At over 3 years old the graphics are superb, the vastness of the game is almost incomprehensible (there are 8 planets in Galaxies as well as open space to fly around in!!) and there is always something you can be doing, from the new "Legacy" quests to grinding (it means repeating quests to increase experience and level up a character) on varactyl on Kashyyyyk or simply setting up your own home and house on an island on Corellia. Its way too much fun! Try it for yourself!
