Don't Fix What Isn't Broken


Have you ever heard the saying," if it ain't broke don't fix it"? It seems that Ozimals hasn't thought things through when it comes to just that. The new updater will check the sim performance and then the updater will tell you if it thinks it is safe to run the update. Problem, if you have alot of bunnies the updater will not work, you need to take it someplace else and set down your rabbits 10 at a time. I don't know about you but I have ALOT of bunnies, and moving them ten at a time update them and put them back and do that over and over 20 times until they are all updated.


Oh Wait! We are supposed to be happy beause we are going to save tonnes of money over the next 13 days not having to buy food. But if you are a large breeder you will need to pay money to find land to update all your bunnies. You will need to take a large amount of time going back and forth. Wait now, don't they say time is money? Right they do. So all the time I spend carting back and forth all my bunnies I am not pairing them up, tending them setting them up for sales, advertising on the different channels selling your bunnies. So yes you save money not paying Ozimals for food, but you loose money and time using this new version of an updater.


Am I being overly "bitchy" about this issue, after all they are giving me free food, everyone free food. What they are not giving me is a properly working product the first time around. Yes it will hurt them for 13 days to have free food, but really alot of peopl will take that "saved" money and get love potions and aphrodisiac food and boosters, after all they would have spent the money any ways right? That my friends is called smart marketing. Give your customers a "freebie" that keeps them hooked on your product and makes them feel they have extras to spend on now.


Someone in Ozimals is just a good marketer, too bad they didn't create the product they promised the first time. After all this how many people belive this is the last updater we are going to have with 1.3fracked up 6??

Ozimals Appologizes to its customers and Offers Free Food


Update 1.3f6 is now out, and it has fixed a few more of the major complaints people have had with this update. They have brought down the percentage rate for strawberry elites after the huge customer demand to stop flooding the market with them. People want to actually SEE the new furs and shades and right now they do not want to see tonnes of these strawberry bunnies.


The new totem checks sim performance and so far has been nothing but a pain in the side for myself and my family of bunny breeders. We are on a class 5 sim and several of us have had our totems tell us to go somewhere else to update. Ummm we have hundreds of rabbits, that is just not something any of us really want to do.


What Ozimals has done as a part of their appology to their customer base is to offer free food that will feed any bunny on any level that they are on. This free food will last until Wed 14 of July, after that it will disapear. Since food is a major part of what makes their money I do see this as a major appology from Ozimals to their customers.


I hope with a very update tired customer base this will be enough to keep people with Ozimals as all sorts of new breedables come to the market.

Here There Be Dragons


I have to say the moment these were pointed out to me I was in love, I wanted them at first sight and really who wouldn't when you hear the words breedable dragons. These amazing creatures are still in closed beta but I was lucky enough to convince one of the creators to come down to the Country Fair last auction and do a public Q&A with folks this past Tuesday. As soon as people saw them there was a flurry of questions the biggest one being how to get them. Well right now you can sign up for the forums and this will register your avatar as eligable to buy a starter set with a Queen bronze when they come out, tentatively in 3 weeks. The creators do not want to rush this product and have the problems of updating every day like an Ozimals creation. You can register at their main location or at the ONLY satalite location in SL at my Country Fair Auction House. Hope to see you soon!
