Hyperspace Beacon: Holocron Files -- Zabraks

Feb 29th 2012 12:39AM (Massively)
I miss my SWG Zabrak character :(

The character customisation in SWG was far superior to what's offered in TOR. Character creation is pretty much cookie cutter in TOR...

One thing to point out is that with decorating in SWG there's practically no limits. Anything that you can have in your inventory can be used as decoration in a house. Once you drop that item in your house, you're free to move it around the space in the house in pretty much any direction you like. This opens up the ability to take what might look like a pretty boring item and spin it around or "combine" it with another object to make it look like something much more interesting. It's the people that take advantage of this ability that generally have the best decorated houses :)

As for the Legacy, I always found the Naboo part to be the more boring part as it seems to go on forever. Your experience may differ, of course. You can level off Chronicle quests as well, however the quest has to be made by a character on a different account for this to work (so you can't make your own quests and expect to get XP from them) and you probably want to make them for your level, heh. Generally, you can guess what the difficulty level will be by taking note of what planet the NPCs the relics refer to are on. Tusken relics are a safe bet for most low levels :)

Internet Explorer 9 Beta expected in September, screenshots leak now

I'm an IE user and have been since IE3. I often get told that firefox and the other browsers are faster but when I've done my own comparisons I don't really notice any differences. Feature wise, all browsers pretty much have the same these days so it comes down to the little things and in this case, IE wins for me with its familiar interface, keyboard shortcuts and its "made for Windows 7" feel.

New Microsoft brand logos, company tagline revealed at MGX event? (update: no new logos, tagline is a go)

Interesting how the article calls Windows 7 a "seemingly success." Is there really any debate to the success of Windows 7? Over the last few months I've seen more Macs running Windows 7 than OS X.

As for the logos shown...I prefer the existing ones but by the looks of the updates to the article, they're not going away.

Not known for our tech innovations? Typical Americans :P.

If it wasn't for NZ, America wouldn't have the nuclear technology it loves so much!

Sorry, but I can't watch anything remotely to do with Soccer without the buzz of a vuvuzela in the background...

lol, I get free trips to fan faire? I've only been to last years and that was all out of my own pocket (and part of an overall holiday I was having in the USA). Being factual is probably a good idea, as a point for the future ;)

Also, irnoically, the result of this poll so far is the work of the SWG community working together. Destroyed communities don't tend to do that - and no, those of you that haven't played the game for however many years are no longer considered part of the SWG community. I'm sure you're welcome to rejoin, but labeling yourself as being part of it currently is a bit of a laugh...
