Fennux News

Hello everyone,

This is an important announcement to aid in reassuring users that The Fennux Breedable is attempting to meet the needs of the Fennux breeders by addressing a sizable concern over the topic of Tier Upgradation.

We have gotten a good amount of feedback from users recently showcasing example trees that have upgraded in an odd manner (T1 + T1 = T3 [that had only one t2 in the background]). At face value this is obviously a bad thing, as people start to think “hey, we don’t need T2 or T3 to get T3, T1 works great!” – which is not the case, as these examples happened 2 times ever, but it’s better for us to address this now than later.

We too agree with the breeders as these occasional oddities may not be good for the economy, and they help spread rumors, so we have since made a few minor tweaks to avoid those oddities in the future, and have made sure that “higher purity tree upgradations” are more beneficial than before, effectively enhancing the breeding skill end of the spectrum. (breeding skill based on our breeding guide shown here: http://www.fennux.com/breeding-info).

From now on there won’t be any crazy “Double Jump Upgradations” happening. For example, we have seen 2 cases (out of hundreds of thousands of examples) where a pair of T1 Fennux have made a T3 (with only one T2 in the background). This sort of thing is now eliminated from occuring.

We are not saying that you must breed for pures to succeed, we have not changed our code so much that it’s eliminating any sort of breeding strategies, we’re merely enhancing one strategy that has been recommended to users by us on the Breeding Info Page since it’s inception.

Keep in mind this will not be an instant change, mainly because it takes 5 days for a pair of Fennux to breed, and no we did not drastically change the breeding code so that all pure T2 Fennux will start popping out T3 in such a manner that causes issues with the secondary market (flooding), it’s very minor yet will be surprisingly helpful.

The changes we have made will only better the Fennux Economy, making sure that hard work and the following of our breeding guide allows breeders to reap rewards over time. By ensuring T3 Fennux are coming from the labor of a skilled breeding strategy, and not from random T1 Fennux, the market can only increase as users regain faith in our breeding algorithm – which is now enhancing skill breeding. (random breeding is still just as beneficial as before, although people may want to start looking into purifying some of their lines as well)

It is nice to randomly get something good out of nowhere, but we feel this should not be a key part of the actual breedable game, we like to reserve luck/chance for other areas such as (Wishing, Crafting, etc.), while enhancing the skill aspect of the breedable.

Obviously we do not guarantee your success with every single breeding outcome after the addition of our slight tweaking, but we expect that you will find your Fennux and other people’s Fennux to be more successful in upgrading tiers from this point forward.

Again, please follow our breeding info guide for the best possible outcome! There is no “wrong way to breed”, but there are ways to better your chances of upgrading. It’s different from Coats, Ears/Tail/Hair, and Eyes/Whiskers (and that guide helps point out those ways)

We have already ran 70,000+ tests of our adjusted algorithm to ensure it’s working as intended, and we are quite happy with the results. (private simulation tests)

Further Clarification: Please understand that this is not “killing the value of offspring”, as offspring will still be just as beneficial as before (only two users will notice a difference in offspring breeding, as only two users ever had something crazy like a double jump happen). Something like T1 + T1 = T2 is still possible with a T2 in the background, but something like T1 + T1 = T3 is not possible with just a T2 in the background, as it’s seen by most as too much of a reward. If you want a chance at T3 coming out from offspring, make sure there is T3 involved somewhere, and the more the better. Our algorithm needs to think you are trying to make T3, or trying to make T2 before it starts to give you that ability, and something like T1 + T1 with T2 in the background is not telling our algorithm that you want T3, it’s telling it you want T2 at best.

We want to thank each and every user for their understanding, and of course thank the users who have provided us such feedback to help with decision making. Happy breeding!

Thank you,
-Team Fennux

Please double check that all of your Live Fennux and Fennux Dens on “Web Market” are actually set for sale.

We will be using a Blacklist that blocks “repeat offenders” from listing Fennux on the Web Market. If we get multiple reports that your Fennux are on the Web Market but not for sale, and there is no easy way for a user to actually buy your Fennux, we will be inclined to place your name on the Web Market Blacklist for as long as your Live Fennux / Fennux Dens are showing up on the Web Market but are not for sale.

This includes Fennux that are “taking offers”. You are not allowed to list a Fennux to “Take Offers” on Web Market, please use another form of advertising to take offers over time. We want the Web Market to be for instant sales, or at a live auction, or at least Bid Board sales that have a set time limit.

This includes Fennux listed on Web Market that are in areas that people cannot Teleport to with ease due to Security  Orbs or land that doesn’t let you “TP Anywhere”, etc.
This includes setting a Fennux “Contents” for sale, instead of the entire object for sale.

So here is what we need everyone to do:
———————————————
Visit http://www.fennux.com/market/Firstname.Lastname (change Firstname and Lastname to your avatar name in SL, with a period (.) separating the first and last name.

OR you can visit http://www.fennux.com/market (while you are logged in to My Fennux) and it will give you a link to click at the bottom of the page to click automatically!

OR you can visit http://www.fennux.com/market and in the drop down for Sellers, select your name alone and hit the Find Fennux button

And make sure your Dens and Fennux are as per our policy described above.

…And that’s all you need to do! If you place Fennux for “crazy high prices” just to get around this blacklist, it will be up to Team Fennux to decide if we should blacklist all of your Fennux or not, so please do not try to “cheat the system”, we get complaints daily about people’s Fennux that are on the Web Market and not for sale.

Keep in mind we will not blacklist users forever! We will however blacklist users for as long as we find Web Market rules being broken. All we need is for users to obey our rules/regulations, and that’s it.

Thank you for your understanding. We will give until February 14th for people to adjust their Web Market Listings accordingly.

Policy amendment on 27th April 2013: To allow customers to specify background information like “Arctic DOS” or “10 Antlers in BG” or  “Mother of Caution” we are also showing the name of the Den/Fennux in the web market listing. How ever you should not use this feature to display the price of the Den/Fennux like “5k Static” or “Arctic 125″ or in any other fashion which in fact is conveying the information about the price for that Den or Fennux. Violation of this part of the policy faces the same consequences stated above.

We have brought back the Fennux Affiliate Program, which is a little bit different than the original one we had during Pre-Orders, so we ask that you pay close attention. We have always wanted to reward users who refer others to join The Fennux via FNX Points, and now we are finally doing just that.

Whenever a new user touches one of your Fennux Affiliate Objects (A Kiosk, 1 Prim Sign, etc.) you will have a full 30 Days to earn 1 FNX Point for every L$2 that the referred user spends on Fennux Products In-World (not on Marketplace). This means if someone for example, buys a Gold Pack for L$3395, and you referred them to Fennux within 30 days of time, you will receive 1698 FNX Points in exchange – which is more than enough to buy a Hydrated Home!

So to sum everything up, a referred sale within 30 days of clicking your Affiliate Objects means that you will receive 1 FNX Point for each L$2 spent by those referred users. There is not currently a limitation on how many FNX Points you may earn, so get out there and start referring users to join The Fennux now!

Keep in mind you can not refer someone who already has been introduced to The Fennux before. If someone has already touched an affiliate kiosk, made a My Fennux account, used “The Fennux HUD”, purchased a starter pack before, etc – they are already in our database and considered a customer already. This only applies to new people you introduce to Fennux via them clicking on your Affiliate Objects. The full 30 Day Referral Period begins the moment they click on one of your Affiliate Objects, so long as they are not considered a Fennux Customer already in our database.

Get your FREE Fennux Affiliate Package by visiting our Official sim

TEAM FENNUX LLC RESERVES THE RIGHT TO WITHDRAW OR MODIFY THE AFFILIATE PROGRAM AT ANY TIME AND FOR ANY REASON AT THEIR OWN DISCRETION.

Hey Fennux Enthusiasts,

We added some great features to the My Fennux account area. We added the ability to fix your in-world cloned Live Fennux / Fennux Dens via a simple “Fix” button at the side of each Live Fennux / Fennux Den, as well as the ability to check up on “Inactive Fennux” which are any ID’s that have not pinged our database server in the past 24 hours.

We still offer redelivery which serves a great purpose for certain situations, but now you won’t have to redeliver a cloned Fennux to fix it, you’ll simply have to visit the My Fennux account area, click Live Fennux or Fennux Dens, and then click Fix next to the proper Fennux that you want to resolve the clone status for.

Here’s a quick video tutorial for those of you who need more info:
