Star Wars Galaxies: It's Tuesday, It's Tip Time

Sharing Waypoints
Waypoints are useful for finding POI's, marking favorite locations or even your own structures and equipment, but have you ever wanted to get a friend to meet you at your house? Have you ever needed to tell a possible customer where your main shop is? How about tried to plan a raid and invite someone new to come join you? Well there are a few ways you can share waypoints:

Slash Command
If you're chatting with someone and you want to meet someplace, you can instantly create a waypoint by using the slash command. Simply type:
/waypoint x y
(X is the first number on your radar to the left and y is to the right.)

e-mail attachment
You can also use the in-game email system to share one or more locations. This is handy for telling customers where your new store is, planning raids and other group activities. You can do this by:
1. Create a new waypoint in your datapad.
2. Pull up your mail window (CTRL-E) and open up a new mail message.
3. Click and drag the waypoint into the mail window and drop it in the little box in the lower right titled, "Attachments".
Option: If you want to share the waypoint with lots of friends, you can send the mail to a few friends by separating each name with a semicolon, like this: JustG, Keldarin; GarVa;
4. Click send and you're done.

For business people
If you own a business or run a service and want to share a waypoint with a client/prospective customer, visit a Droid Engineer and check into getting yourself a merchant module! The merchant module enables a droid to play back a recorded message and give out waypoints by request.

Waypoints are your friend, or at least they stop you from getting lost (which in actual fact is more than my friends do hmmmmm).
