^v^/<|;) (Bats Out Of Hats) --INTERIM-- Gets a Face-Lift!!!


Hiya, all!

^v^/<|;) (Bats Out Of Hats) --INTERIM-- Gets a Face-Lift!!!
So... This is what we were known for.  ^
...And no, I'm not changing that banner because I'm too stubborn to give it up!  :p
Besides, it's like The Law Of Attraction... If I keep the belief of it around, it will come back.
(just most of the gaming and advertising has been put on a temporary hold for now)

And I know, I know!
I have been AFK for a LONG time, and I have a "Lost In The Mail" post I'll be putting out soon about that... But I've been working really hard inworld, and I needed to get this entry's update out first!  ;)
Thanks for bearing with me!

...It's a BEAUTIFUL day in our interim skybox!










Anyhoo...
...It's a BEAUTIFUL day in our interim skybox!


So this is most likely some of what you will immediately see when you go to ^v^/<|;) (Bats Out Of Hats) inworld.










So this is most likely some of what you will immediately see when you go to ^v^/<|;) (Bats Out Of Hats) inworld.










If you touch/click our ^v^/<|;) (Bats Out Of Hats) store sign (shown in the center), it will shout some useful information out, and offer you an informative NC.

And yus, we have gone completely CasperVend friendly now (some things have even been repackaged)!  They have great customer service, are used all thru-out SL, and most importantly - SAVE ON PRIMS!!!  ;)


To the left is our regular store vendor (of things that cannot be rezzed due to not enough prim space or it being things like, say, an avatar shape), & also our redelivery service vendor.

If you sit on it, you will teleport to our regular store rez vendor...















Anyhoo, back to this...

...That animated purple vortex looking thing (on the right)...

If you sit on it, you will teleport to our regular store rez vendor...









The rez vendor is pretty easy to use...
The rez vendor is pretty easy to use...

You just click the left and right arrows at the bottom to find the merchandise you'd like to look at, make sure it's in the center panel, and then click the "rez" button at the top (and you'll see a demo)!

There are also some things (like wearables) that may give you a free demo to try on (just by clicking the "demo" button down at the bottom).

All our items are listed in alphabetical order and by their original name, so they are also easy to search for by clicking the interactive "search" button tool down at the bottom.

After having at least made sure your selection is in the center panel, you can also right-click the vendor to buy it!  ;)

Take the TP Vortex down back to the skybox...

In the center, you will find all kinds of interactive goodies...




And in the center, you will find all kinds of interactive goodies...

One of them is a group joiner.

Another is a Subscribr (if you have no group space left, you can still stay up to date with us).

Put your loose L$ in the lava lamp for a cool giftie!

...As well as some other things you may just want to see for yourself!
...Like that door that takes you to ground level











...Like that door that takes you to ground level, so you can bother the neighbors --despite their terraforming!  XD











Why, yus... I do believe that purple door will take you somewhere...








...BTW, this is my favorite spot to sit and float on ;)

...And, why, yus...
I do believe that purple door will take you somewhere...  ;)









All the way to the South, is our Alienum vendor









All the way to the South, is our Alienum vendor alcove, filled with all the supplies you can shake your extractor at!











Amaretto Horses










You're also going to run across things like our Amaretto Horses...












That about wraps it up for things at Zamargad Charged By Isis: The Remodeling Interim parcel






...And, well, so...
That about wraps it up for things at Zamargad Charged By Isis: The Remodeling Interim parcel...

...It only took me about 5 months to get out of my depression slump / RL abduction and get this show back on the road!  XD









Group Gifties should be coming back soon too.

And I will only say this once...
Sometimes things are a bit cheaper inworld than on the MP (I didn't wanna take that opportunity away from our customers completely).  ;)
...And no, that doesn't apply to things only available on our MP (like the breedables), as those OOAK things already have a very fair price.  ;)


...Hope to see ya around!  If not at Zamargad, at least somewhere around the grid, then!  ♥

Issue With EVO 2019 Recipe Conversion = HUGE L$ Loss


Originally, this was a notecard made for sharing in SL.

Now it's here in my fucking blog for everyone to see because of accountability...

There was supposed to be an EVO event today with a Q&A session where unfortunately none of the admins showed...









There was supposed to be an EVO event today with a Q&A session where unfortunately none of the admins showed... I questioned it in nearby chat to the innocent event host, and the EVO group... KhrysT then postponed it to an hour later... Then he said he didn't feel well and postponed it to the next day... So fine...

I'm a bit out of patience with everything I have experienced from the business end of EVO (at least from KhrysT's unprofessional mannerisms on the whole of 2 years)... So here it is...







I have been muted in group chat, and breeders have been intimidated








BTW, I have been muted in group chat, and breeders have been intimidated.

For as much money as I have spent on EVO, I deserve respect.

Any customer deserves respect.
"The customer is always right."

"Give me your money so I can treat you like shit because I have power over you," is never cool (...I mean, unless you're into that kind of masochism...)


That is also why this is here.
miscommunication


I just found out about all this today.

I thought it was just "usual" updates.  But things have slowly snowballed into more and more peculiar things.  HUBs are gone and very dedicated people have given away or sold all their EVO things and LEFT.  I couldn't get a recipe or pearl box to generate for a few months now (when they do, even if your fairies are deco).  The miscommunication and back and forth between trying to update the Halloween City took almost a month (I know some ppl who have had the same Ysra/City for years because they like the style, with no complaints).  Tickets no longer get forwarded to your email, so you can "conveniently" lose track if they think you are stupid and just close the ticket without you knowing.  Some shit about fairies not being in eSpheres for 8 months, despite complaints (thank gawd I never got into that part of EVO too).  And now, out of nowhere, old recipes will become null and void after 12APR19.


If you are involved in EVO and wondering WTF is going on... you are entitled to know what you are investing (or possibly dumping) your money into.




My questions did not matter

Greetings,

This is the math I have just done to figure out what it will cost me as a store owner that sells/supports EVO breedables, to do all these recipes myself (instead of selling the actual recipes) for any profit whatsoever, before the 2019 recipe conversion deadline (where all recipes from before 2019 will be null and void as of 12APR19, according to EVO administrator, KhrysT Lords (khryst.neox)).

I've been informed on the down low that the conversion is happening because of copyright and a couple EVO administrators/creators taking their creative integrity to separate ventures.

I've been playing since about a couple months before October of 2017...
This is my first recorded chat log in the group:
[2017/10/19 22:38]  MajikVixen (bluevioletvixen.lorefield): Hey... so my fairies just reached age 7 ... how do I know what an egg looks like to click it?  Do they appear in one spot usually, or all over the city?

To know which EVO group I am talking about, copy/paste this into nearby chat for a clickable link: 
secondlife:///app/group/e205dbfb-6d8f-aaa1-d8b5-a14d4776862c/about

This is EVO's website:


...I rely very heavily on that store income for any fun whatsoever in SL, as RL money situations have led me to do unfortunate things like go from a whole HS sim to a temporary parcel.

I spent countless hours gathering data/information/prices + boxing all this stuff up, to now realizing just how devastating this 2019 update / recipe conversion now is...

Here is your proof/math, of everything left in my MP inventory, plus all the prices, all laid/spelled out for you to see why I am so greatly concerned (just for starters)...

SO THIS FINAL TOTAL OF MY COMPLETE AND TOTAL LOSS IS L$234,992.  This is about $905-942 USD 26MAR19.  This is the cost of a vehicle or rent in RL.  This is about the cost of 1,958 months (163 years!) of tier for my whole Zamargad sim (that I miss very, very much).  ...This is insane and ludicrous, to say the least.

Now, don't get me wrong, I have had a LOT of fun at the events, and with everyone in chat.  All the breeders are phenomenally nice and outstanding people!  But now we must ask ourselves what the cost of this friendliness and support is actually worth, especially under these circumstances.

I am sure you will all be very interested to see how the new administrators of EVO will address this issue.  It will give you an understanding of the new integrity, customer service rapport, and business professionalism going forward... Which will most likely be the leading factor in motivation for continuing/future breeders/store owners, as to whether or not they support EVO in their product line.


^v^/<|;) (Bats out of Hats) EVO Breeding Supplies
...So you want to be a dick, KhrysT?
Fine.
It seems I'm going to lose everything anyway (don't worry, we'll just add that to the total *scoffs*).  This road of power and abuse is all too familiar and I am sick of that shit.  
I am also really tired of having to kiss your ass to get simple questions answered in a very convoluted, confusing/omitting, and intimidating way.
Negative reinforcement does not make me have the reaction you'd like.
Abuse makes me very vocal.  
I am not a coward.
You will be held accountable for your footprint on ppl's souls.

And at least maybe this way some positive things will likely occur:

1) I can save people from wasting their money into an obvious, sinking ship
...Rita (who has prolly been muted in the EVO group as well) is VERY nice, & BTW, she makes Witches now - you should go check those out!

2) I can influence you to change things for the better regarding your customer service skills

3) Maybe then EVO will float and become something better than a sinking ship, so I will have done something for the ultimate and greater good by sharing








UPDATE:

Update :o








I spoke with another EVO admin.  I will only share with you my replies, but you will get the general idea...




[19:53] ℳαʝɨҟᐺɨӽڠɳ (bluevioletvixen.lorefield): You're in the EVO group as an admin, thought you would like to know what this is doing to everyone who was playing for a while

[19:55] ℳαʝɨҟᐺɨӽڠɳ (bluevioletvixen.lorefield): Ok, sure, if you would like to explain, I will listen

[20:14] ℳαʝɨҟᐺɨӽڠɳ (bluevioletvixen.lorefield): You are correct.  You are very quiet, and never offered to be friends (which is completely ok), so/but I then assumed all the business was done on KrysT's part.  I have also had his same gruff interactions with other CSRs, I was honestly afraid to take another chance of upsetting yet another CSR by "bothering" you (especially after having dumped so much $ into this).  ...Okay, even if we cut that total loss in half (for whatever factors, market fluctuation, etc.), it's still pretty hefty.  Yes, you can manipulate it and say those recipes were free... but really they weren't... They came from my purchase of the buildings... And why would I have done that, if I wasn't going to get anything out of it?  It would be one thing if you were selling clothing, but these are breedables.  This kind of reminds me of false advertising and a bit of the bait and switch, unintentional or not.  There ought to be a clause in any documentation EVO breeders get with all of your products, that EVO may change terms and conditions at any time for any reason and we would not hold you liable... So in other words, don't expect anything by buying EVO, other than for it to look pretty.  But then again, that wouldn't make you guys very much $, would it?  A CATWA head is L$5k.  Maitreya body a bit more... but not L$40k.  That's A LOT to spend for something to just look pretty in the end.  I'm honestly very disappointed.

[20:37] ℳαʝɨҟᐺɨӽڠɳ (bluevioletvixen.lorefield): If you wanted to actually make this right, and you are committed 200%, then you would offer some type of loss compensation for the old recipes (that really worked fine, BTW).  KhrysT offered to replace up to 5 relics... Uhm... that's nice, but it's a mere drop in the bucket, really.  More like a drop in the well.  It's not just me who feels this way.  It's your longer more dedicated customers too.  You have really hit us below the belt here under the guise of "upgrades" and "improvements."  ...Maybe improvements for you, but not for us.  You forgot about the most important people, your clients (not customers, there's a difference).  And for KhrsT to eject me when I tried to ask about this, just goes to show your clients that what we think doesn't actually matter.  "Do as we say or else you lose your investment."  ...What a wonderful lasting impression to anyone actually involved in the breedable here.  Disrespectful.  Has motivation by fear ever worked in government, BTW?  Think about that.

[20:46] ℳαʝɨҟᐺɨӽڠɳ (bluevioletvixen.lorefield): Okay, nice to have met you.  I appreciate your time.  I also appreciate your firm belief despite what is now occurring.  Actions speak louder than words.  Wish you well anyway

[20:47] ℳαʝɨҟᐺɨӽڠɳ (bluevioletvixen.lorefield): You personally may be.  But if you don't have the power to influence the whole (which might be 80%+ KrysT), then really, it doesn't do much good until the long run... and by then, where will everyone have gone?

[21:15] ℳαʝɨҟᐺɨӽڠɳ (bluevioletvixen.lorefield): I would agree with you that these changes will help the EVO second market grow via buying and selling collectibles & faes to other & new users.  I understand things change or evolve.  I would have been on board with you on that, had it simply been explained to me by someone trustworthy, in charge, patient, and (forgive me) can type coherent English so I'm not confused (and it doesn't cause more frustration from the admin) ...from the get-go.  The way this was done seems very, like, EVO saying "We don't trust our clients, let's give as little information as possible, under the guise of unexplainable improvements."  When if it was brought out onto the table, we would have more reassurance that everything would eventually be okay.  ...And perhaps more notice would have been appropriate too.  Or then we could have rationally talked about possible incentives/reparations productively, as a community, instead of this, that has been done now... where anyone who questions authority gets booted.  ...I am now officially EVO's scapegoat... KrysT blames my pointing out this $ loss knowledge to the fact that recipes will no longer be XFR (when these plans were most likely set in motion long before I said anything).  There's a difference between treating clientele like sheep or cows, and making them a part of your family... to which, the events had led me to believe in the better.  And I'm no Katniss Everdeen here, as there are LOTS of old-timers who are simply done with EVO now.  Does EVO simply say, "This is what's happening, like it or not," or does EVO say, "We need to change for the better, what does our community need?"



A couple days later I tried to contact that admin again:
[07:21] ℳαʝɨҟᐺɨӽڠɳ (bluevioletvixen.lorefield): Hey, are you there?  I think I may have come up with an idea that benefits both EVO & their consumers...

[07:21] ℳαʝɨҟᐺɨӽڠɳ (bluevioletvixen.lorefield): What if there was some sort of exchange... Where we could turn in the old recipes, to get something comparable in value, with this reincarnation of EVO?

[07:22] ℳαʝɨҟᐺɨӽڠɳ (bluevioletvixen.lorefield): It encourages loyalty for the old-timers, as they are recognized... & it encourages newcomers with an incentive to stick around.


(G Clef  (terraoo7.winterwolf) said it would be discussed at the next meeting ...whenever that is ...And I'm sure that if they accept the idea, I will not be allowed to have anything to do with it & still be banned)

At that many hours later in the day, I was also trying to take care of getting the correct buildings, as the replacement ones were not Halloween themed, like I had originally purchased... as these had to be manually redelivered.

And I got this in nearby chat after all the hoopla of updating my buildings and finally getting a recipe:
[17:11] Library Regular Recipes: This avatar is Banned from EVO Systems!!! - Contact Ticket Support for more info.
So I did file a ticket for that too.

G Clef asked me to resubmit the tickets as they couldn't see them (so much for their partnership being 50/50).  So I did.  Waited about 15 minutes, expecting a response somewhere between then and now, finally asked if they could now see the tickets... and they had logged off!  ...So much for being in this 200%, like they said the other night too.
UMMM, YES I HAVE A QUESTION... WTF?


Saw they came back online, and asked...
[18:27] ℳαʝɨҟᐺɨӽڠɳ (bluevioletvixen.lorefield): Ok, you're back online... can you at least see the tickets now?

(they said they thought the moderation team already responded to the tickets ...contradicting what we had just discussed moments ago)

[18:28] ℳαʝɨҟᐺɨӽڠɳ (bluevioletvixen.lorefield): ...with indifference?

(silence)

[18:31] ℳαʝɨҟᐺɨӽڠɳ (bluevioletvixen.lorefield): Your mannerisms have changed from when we spoke the other night.  I notice you're a lot colder now.  May I ask why?

(silence)

[18:34] ℳαʝɨҟᐺɨӽڠɳ (bluevioletvixen.lorefield): I guess the obvious answer is that everything EVO is a lie and a scam, and you're not allowed to admit that

(some excuse about RL, a reiteration that this was why I was banned, and then something along the lines that they're too good to talk to me anymore)


I can only tell you from experience (and my refusal to give in and create an alt) that:
A ban is a black mark.  Wear it with pride.  Especially if what you've been banned from has the audacity to have the judgment of God, the narrowmindedness of Hitler, and therefore the intelligence of a box of rocks.








Okay, at any rate...

This is going into our EVO products:

These assholes


Dear valued customer,

EVO is a 3rd party, of which we have no control over.

We are very sorry, but we tried thoroughly to resolve any issues with them long ago.  They, unfortunately, seem to draw the line at having any professionalism or integrity, particularly with loyal customers like us.  This is why with the purchase of this EVO product, you agree to not hold any part of ^v^/<|;) (Bats Out Of Hats) liable for any type of malfunction for this EVO product.


Should you have an issue with your product not working, you need to contact one of the EVO administrators.  To do so, please copy the following line and paste it into nearby chat to get their clickable group link, to find who you need for support with their products:

secondlife:///app/group/e205dbfb-6d8f-aaa1-d8b5-a14d4776862c/about


try filling out a ticket to no avail

You may also try filing a ticket with EVO from their website, however, we must caution you, that at this point, tickets do not get forwarded to your e-mail, and they have been known to be closed without any closure to the customer.

To make a ticket with EVO, last we heard, you will need to go to them inworld to register for their website login information.  This SLURL will be in their group information, and at this point in time, it reads as: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/REMOOD%20UNITED/94/211/24  You will need to touch the "EVO*Systems - Registry Ledger Ver.2018" object (funny that their equipment can be older than 2019, but not a breeder's) and follow the procedure for what happens next.

Once you have done all that, you may go to their website at https://www.evosl.com/#intro and log in.

From there, you will need to click "EVO Ticket Support" and we suggest filling out the following as such...

"Subject" can be "EVO Product Not Working"

"Message" can be filled in with details as to what product you have, what happens when you try to use it, and anything else pertinent.  You may also take screen-shots by using the "PRTSC" button on your PC (might be different for different computers, you may need to Google how to do this), then opening up your "Paint" application, then holding down the "CTRL" + "v" keys to paste your screen-shot into Paint.  Save this picture.  Then you may upload it to a picture hosting site, one we have found for free is http://freeimagehosting.net/ You can choose your file and upload the image.  You will get an HTML code generated.  You will want to look for the part of the code that says "<img src=" and copy that picture's link to put it into this ticket.  It may look something like this:  https://i.imgur.com/wTIMlYo.jpg

"Department" should be "MC Fairies, Buildings & Games."

"Product Name" will be the name of the product you get by right-clicking on it inworld, & selecting "Edit."  The "Name" will be in the build window next to "Name:."  You may highlight the text in the "Name:" portion, right-click it, and select "Copy."  You may then go back to the EVO website and right-click the fill-in spot for "Product Name" and select "Paste" to fill it in.

"Product Version" will usually be listed in the name, as discussed in the above paragraph.

"PET ID Code" usually applies to fairies, and is usually listed in the "Name:" portion of the build/edit window, as discussed above, if not in the "Description:" part of the build/edit window.


Try filling out an Abuse Report
If they fail to work with you within a reasonable amount of time (3 days is pretty reasonable for any response), you may file an abuse report.  Here is more information on that (and we will also help you walk through this process, if you keep reading): https://community.secondlife.com/knowledgebase/english/filing-an-abuse-report-r25/

To report abuse, go to "Help" at the top of your viewer menu, and select "Report Abuse."  Keep in mind that whatever you see on your screen at that moment, will provide LL with a picture in this report... so make sure you are able to capture anything necessary regarding the failure of their product.

We then suggest selecting "Fraud> L$ or USD $."  Place an EVO administrator's name into the "Abuser name" section.

For "Location of abuse" we also suggest putting in the SLURL of their mainstore, currently listed on their group profile as: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/REMOOD%20UNITED/94/211/24

For "Summary" we suggest "EVO Breedable Recipe Not Working," or perhaps, if even more EVO products have broken, you may make a similar summary to those other products.

Then make sure to fill in the "Details" as to what happened when you tried to use this recipe and it didn't work, which EVO administrators you tried to contact, & whatever they said (if applicable).





Neopets TDF Keyquest TokenAND HERE'S SOMETHING I LEARNED IN GAMING 101:

These pre-2019 EVO items are a piece of history.  They will obviously not be made anymore, so they will become extremely rare.  Therefore, these can only go up in value.  ...Should there be fans (or Mark David Chapmans) of SL or EVO, these recipes will be like the kings in broken temples of ancient Egyptian pyramids... revered and preserved (after the masses and ages have destroyed most of them ... and after the industries have made too many Beauty & The Beast flicks and diluted the original).  Your true fandom and dedication will be determined if you actually know what one of these are, who originally made them, and oOoOooOoo, if you actually HAVE one!  ...So in yer face ironically, you neo-side-step dancing EVO fucks!  LMFAO!
