Where in the world is Kya Eliot?

Hey, it's been a while since my last blog post and I guess some of you are wondering where on earth I am. Well at this particular moment I am typing this from an ancient laptop, sat on the floor of my new house, 800 miles away from where I used to live! I'm sure my furniture and computer will catch up with me sooner or later.

The plan is still to reopen Hexed, but as with all plans things tend to get in the way. Unfortunately a few months ago I had a death in the family that hit me pretty hard, and of course now the relocation. The plan now is to reopen Hexed on a smaller scale, and as soon as my computer arrives (hopefully intact and working!) I shall be working hard to reopen the island.

Thank you all who have contacted me for you kind words. And I shall see you all again inworld soon.

Goodbye Hexed..... for now

Well the sale is over. Kya got a lot of compliments and comments. Today the sim closed down "until further notice". She's said 4ish months. Please don't hold her to an exact schedule. She will post more as time draws closer.

Remember to subscribe or unsubscribe to her posting list at the scripted gadgets store of ours in Wingo, Debug. She'll also have a suggestion box for ideas. Wingo store:

A few items of hers will still be available for purchase online at https://xstreetsl.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&MerchantID=6862 so remember to check that out!

Once more, from Kya and I, thank you to everyone who picked up something, and for all the kind words!

Sale Update

Firstly a huge thank you to everyone who has bought something in the sale - remember the sale ends in two days time, on Friday 17th April at 12:00pm SLT, after which time everything in Hexed main will be retired and the island will be closed.

Also, if you purchased the Referee Costume (m/t) you may have ended up with a Teacher's Pet costume instead! Just drop me a notecard and IM with transaction number and I will drop you the correct item. This only affects the mod/transfer version of this costume.

Lastly, if you wanted to unsubscribe or subscribe from Hexed updates, there is a kiosk situated just outside of Hexed main. Next to it is a suggestions box should you wish to make a suggestion for items you wish to see when we reopen. When the island closes at midday on Friday, these two items will be available at Debug (formerly Hexed Code) in Wingo. I will have links to them in my picks from Friday onwards.

Hexed Clearance/Remodeling Sale!

They say that a change is as good as a rest, so Hexed is closing - for remodeling (expected duration 4+ months).

- All Hexed main items are being discontinued and have been marked down to clearance prices of L$25-50!

- All Hexed Alt items have been marked down to sale prices of 50% or less. (Selected Hexed Alt items will be available on xstreetsl.com after the sim is closed).

Sale ends 12pm SLT, 17th April 2009.

Days of Hexed gone by

Has it been so long since I have so much as logged in? I supposed it has. I have been gone though, for good reasons. Let me rephrase. The reasons for which I have been gone would be acceptable were I to bore you with them. Needless, I have been drawn away for a good long time now and hopefully I am soon to return.

As I swing back into the saddle (yeah I found my old RenFest Island horse!) Kya and I are seeing that all the random junk we have rammed together in Hexed doesn't mesh. So we're going to rip the stores apart and move things around. I suppose Hexed Code is going to pass on into oblivion, but some things from there and some from Hexed Prefabs will continue on...

We thought that we could continue making Medieval buildings, and maybe expand out the Archery/weapon system slightly towards the fun it was when I sold Aura. But in doing so there wouldn't be a good excuse to leave them hanging around with Kya's clothing lines. Not willing and able to buy a sim just to put a castle in, I am going to have to find a home for all things Renaissance I have, plus the things I have left on the back burner for years that I should have finished then.

Anyone got an idea for a good Medieval/Renaissance sim with a decent-size store to rent?

Going afk...

I know I haven't posted in a while, and unfortunately this isn't a new item post. I will be unavailable for the next week due to a family emergency. If you need customer service please drop me a notecard inworld or email at kyaeliot@gmail.com and I will get back to you asap (I should be back next Wednesday 11th March). Just letting you know that I'm not ignoring you by not getting back to you for a while :)

Changes

Anyone want to buy an openspace sim? No? Didn't think so but it was worth a shot. I deleted the maze on the openspace sim, it wasn't even finished yet! And the sim is already gone. I couldn't justify $150 each month for a maze. Sighs, well at least LL made my decision an easy one right? I'm a little disappointed I have to admit, but I can either continue to pay what they want or walk away from it. I have chosen to walk away, from the openspace only, for now!

The main sim has also been renamed Hexed (instead of Hex), and probably redeveloping yet again to make the shop smaller as well as recombining Hexed and Hexed Alt into one shop again. So if anyone has any helpful suggestions on how to make my shop less like a maze (sorry to all those who are having problems finding stuff) now is the time to speak up.

Course all of this will be done after a reformat of my computer as I'm blue screening each time I try to log into SL at the moment. I had to steal Ferret's computer this morning just to delete the content on the opensim!

So anyway what kind of shop would you like? Let me know how I can make shopping at Hexed easier (and yes, I know, more new releases would be good! Just as soon as RL stops being so hectic...).
