Fennux News

Hey everyone,

We posted the “Everything is working fine now” in-world, but forgot to post it on our news feed.

That being said – everything is working fine now! Crafting has also been fixed.

NOTE: If you tried to craft Fennux when the Crafting Machines were not working, those Fennux are most likely considered “deleted” as far as our database is concerned. Any Fennux that pops up “Invalid State” in local chat when you click on them are deleted in our database, and cannot be used any longer – you will need a new set of Fennux to craft with.

We are performing some unscheduled maintenance on our servers.

During this time you will notice a lot of functionality being either slow or completely unresponsive. We recommend not doing anything with your Fennux during this time, just let them prance around for a bit while we work on the issues. (This includes but is not limited to Breeding, Dueling, Crafting)

Thanks so much for your patience,

Team Fennux

We just released “Fennux Final Beta” on November 19, 2012.

This is the last planned beta before launch, so make sure you get in – test the heck out of it – and let us know your final thoughts before we release the actual Fennux to the world of Second Life.

Hey Fennux Enthusiasts!

It’s time for Fennux Public Beta to come to a halt. We have collected ample data from all of you, as well as solved all issues reported. This means that we will be removing all Fennux Public Beta objects from the grid within 6 hours max. IMPORTANT: Expect us to release one last, “Final Beta” in the coming days, so we can be sure we’re ready for launch.

Also, iPhone/iPod Touch users, preview our iOS app here:

We have put an object named “Fennux – www.fennux.com account-creation/password-resetter” into the Supplies Box which is inside the Fennux Crate. You will need this object to be able to login to “My Fennux” ( http://www.fennux.com/account ).

Hey everyone,

We are officially stopping Pre-Orders on November 03, 2012 at 11:59PM SLT. (aka in around 11 hours from this post)

Public Beta will be sent out sometime today (November 3, 2012) as well, so keep your eyes on “The Fennux” Group Notices as that is where the Fennux Crate will be sent to. (Since this is Public Beta, we don’t have to worry about any delivery systems restricting users from obtaining their Fennux.)

So that being said, thank you very much everyone for being so patient with us as we worked diligently on Public Beta, it’ll be in your hands before you know it.

-Team Fennux

Private Beta Phase 2 will be ending shortly. (ETA: Nov 1, 2012 – SLT)

Pre-Orders will still be available for the next few days, but the moment Public Beta starts we are eliminating all methods of Pre-Ordering, so anyone who wants to purchase Fennux Starter Packs after Public Beta starts will have to do so after launch. (Starter Packs sold after launch will not include bonus items, and will not have a discounted price.)

Public Beta shall be starting up within days after Private Beta Phase 2 Concludes, so expect this soon!

Also, check the Fennux Homepage to see a new video, showcasing Dueling, Crafting, Breeding and some of the Wearable options of Fennux.

If you Pre-Order a Gold or Platinum Starter Pack – you will receive 1 randomly selected Limited Edition Fennux Starter Den at launch. This doubles if you Pre-Order a Diamond Starter Pack – you will receive 2 randomly selected Limited Edition Fennux Starter Dens at launch!

This offer is only valid to pre-order customers only. You can pre-order as many of the 3 participating packs (Gold, Platinum and Diamond) that you desire. For example, if you pre-order 10x Diamond Packs, you will receive 20x LE dens at launch. If you pre-order 5x Gold Packs, you will receive 5x LE Dens at launch. There is no limit to how many times you can pre-order on our end. If you Pre-Order 3 packs it’s possible to get one-of-each, but it’s also possible to get 3 of the same. (This is similar to our odds of getting a Male/Female Den)

Limited Edition Fennux Will Not Pass Their Coat On To Offspring!

This is very important that you understand that the coats will not pass to offspring.Think of Limited Edition Fennux as regular starter dens that have their textures overridden to look like an LE Coat instead of a regular looking Fennux. For example, it’s possible your LE Fennux is secretly an Amazon, adding even more wonder to the LE Dens.

Limited Edition Fennux Do Have The Ability To Pass Their Eyes On To Offspring!

Again, very important – the eyes on these dens are Limited Edition, and will only be available to these 3 different fennux. It is possible however to pass the eyes on to offspring of these LE Fennux.

Limited Edition Fennux Have A Chance At Having Tier 1 Ears, Tails and Hairs!

This means the actual coat will have a chance at having a trait. The odds are slim, but the odds do exist! This also means the LE Fennux can pass on the Tier 1 traits to offspring. Again, only the trait can pass – not the LE coats.

“Will these be made available to the public ever again?”

These coats will be permanently retired after Pre-Orders end. Here’s a hint, Pre-Orders will be ending VERY SOON. We are prepping to move into Public Beta instead of doing a “Phase 3 Private Beta”, which means we are moving faster than we had expected due to all of the support from our private beta testers. Team Fennux wants to say a huge THANK YOU to all of our beta testers, you folks rock. Hopefully we can figure out a way to reward you after launch and all of the dust settles.

Thanks for reading,

Team Fennux is sponsoring the “Cinema” event on Second Life. Tons of SL’s top creators are participating! If you would like to know more, your best bet is to either show up or look around Flickr and/or Plurk to see all of the commotion.

FREE FENNUX 3D POLAR GRABBER

If you make it to the event (it’s almost always packed full of residents, so keep that in mind), you will find that by wearing “The Fennux” group tag and clicking a sign that you will receive a Fennux 3D Polar Grabber! This is a limited time free offer to any and all group members.

SLURL TO THE EVENT

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Somewhere%20in%20Time/127/95/23

Before you go, please make sure to remove all laggy items. Scripted hair, shoes, animation over-riders, etc. need to stay home, otherwise you will not be able to pass through the anti-lag gateways, and of course you’ll just be laggy and obnoxious to other residents trying to shop.

So that’s that – make sure to get on over to the Cinema event sometime, it last for a while so if you can’t get in right away – don’t fret – just wait a day or two or three and you will eventually get your FREE Fennux 3D Polar Grabber.

(Note: Please do not IM any of our team members regarding not being able to get in on the sim, if you can’t – you can’t, we have no control over this event, we are merely participating. As I said before, this event will last long enough for each and every group member to get a grabber, just be patient. Thanks!)
