Take a trip to the Amaretto Museum!

No Gravatar

Happy Friday Everyone! I hope everyone is ready for a fun filled Memorial Day Weekend. Many of you will be enjoying long weekends and have extra time on your hands. I had a wonderful vacation at the beginning of this month and visited two of the most amazing museums in Ohio. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame & Museum was just awesome to walk thru and see the many treasures it held. Then we headed to the Football Hall of Fame which was so cool. The bonus of going to this museum was that I actually got to meet one of the Amaretto Community, Kini Barbosa. I have included a picture of us meeting at the Football Hall of Fame for all of you to see below! It was so cool to meet in person!
My trip made me want to remind you all about the Amaretto Museum located on the University sim, this is a great place to spend some time! The University sim itself is beautiful but the Museum, wow it is so much fun to walk thru there and remember back to all the different Amaretto Horses that have been released since that wonderful September day back in 2010 when Amaretto Ranch galloped into Second Life. If that’s not enough to take in please don’t forget to walk thru the K-9 and Barnyard Bird areas, you are sure to find some cuties there that will make you smile.
I like to go to the Museum and look at all the Amaretto Horses there and then go out into the community and look around. It’s fun to see just what you guys have all done with the traits to make each of the horses unique and fun! It’s amazing to see the way the different coats look with various traits, especially the combinations you would have never thought of!
So this weekend take some time to go visit the Amaretto Museum look around at all the fabulous horses there, then head out to the many different markets in the Amaretto Community and maybe you’ll find the inspiration for your next breeding project.

 

Until next time, stay safe and Happy Breeding!!

Folders… How to Create One and Why We Need Them!

No Gravatar

When a CSR get your ticket, they will ask you to send them your breedable in a folder with your name and ticket number on the folder. You can also send a note card with the breedable in the folder.

Why do we need folders?

The reason we ask for a folder with your name and ticket number on it is because it’s easier to sort and look for a folder than it is to find an object or a horse/K-9/barnyard bird/bundle/kennel/nest and a notecard and it helps us help you faster and more efficiently!

Now the fun part ideally we want all folders to have 2 parts to their name like so (Your SL name (no display names please) – Your Amaretto Ticket Number (i.e JJC-xxx-xxxxx)) this will help us find your folder quicker and be able to quickly find your ticket number please be sure that your ticket number follows this format: JJC-xxx-xxxxx the easiest way is to copy and paste the ticket ID from the ticket system.

How did I create a folder?

Now creating a folder is easy all you do is right click (or command click if your using a mac) in either the My Inventory folder or another folder (like the Objects folder) and click New Folder then under the folder you clicked on a New Folder will be created and ready to rename to whatever you want to name it. Once you are done changing the name it will fall in order with the other folders and be ready to add your inventory to it. After you have placed the horses/K-9s/barnyard birds/bundles/kennels/nests and any additional information you can add for the ticket pull our name up in search and drag the folder over to us and we will get it (even if we are offline!) and we will respond in your ticket if more information is needed or if no info is needed you will have your fixed breedable sent back in the folder described at the end of this blog

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT

 

A few things you need to do after filing a ticket.

1. You do NOT need to send a note card or an instant message to the CSR.

2. You DO need to reply to your ticket.

3. You DO need to reply in the original ticket.

4. If you do instant message a CSR have your ticket ID on hand, we talk to so many people when you randomly message we have no idea who you are. It may be awhile before we notice your IM, as we are working on fixing your breedables

5. Do NOT file duplicate tickets for the same issue.

How do I reply in the original ticket?

After you have logged in find the button on the top menu bar that says View Tickets. Once you are in this view you will see your ticket list. To view your ticket and make a reply click on the title of the ticket above the status bar for it. Once in the ticket you can post a reply in the upper right hand corner with the post reply button. Be sure to reopen the ticket or your response will not be seen

Please be proactive. Read every Customer Connection (that’s what we call these blogs). Know what’s going on so when you do file a ticket it’s not something that has already been addressed.

************IF A CSR REPLIES TO YOUR TICKET, AND YOU DO NOT RESPOND IN 3 DAYS THE TICKET WILL BE CLOSED************

Now when we send you back your fixed horses/bundles/K-9s/kennels/barnyard birds/nests you will get a folder like this ( in this case when i send the folder mine looks like this: Amaretto Breedable(s) from maleficent Farshore -REPAIRED ) all folders from the CSR’s follow the same naming scheme Amaretto Breedable(s) from CSR NAME -REPAIRED this way when you get the folder back you can use the inventory search feature to find the folder easily and be able to enjoy your fixed horse(s)/K-9s /barnyard birds sooner

All About Albinos

No Gravatar

Happy Wednesday Everyone! Hope everyone is doing well this day!
Well I have decided to write a little about Amaretto Albinos!

How do I get an Albino you ask?

Well I am going to tell you!

You can get an Albino by breeding 2 full siblings together.
That means they have to have the exact same mother and father.

The siblings do not have to have the same traits just have the same parents.

Albinos come with a special eye that can pass on to an off spring.

Albinos DO Not pass their coats!

However, breeding an Albino with its sibling does slightly increase your chance for another Albino.

I thought I would give you a list of the Albinos Amaretto currently has…

Albino
Albino Clydesdale
Albino Fell Pony
Albino Shetland
Albino Mystique

So, get your favorite siblings together and try to get that special Albino!

Until next week Happy Breeding Everyone!

Terrific Tuesday!!

Tips for Rollbacks

No Gravatar

The worst thing about Monday’s is knowing tomorrow is Tuesday and it full of sl restarts and rollbacks!

 

We all know what SL Rollbacks do….lol…

 

When SL does a sim Rollback, it takes the sim back to a previous state. If you have purchased a horse from someone, and the sim where you purchased the breedable from has a rollback, it can create a duplicate issue., maybe even someone else has come along and also purchased the same breedable. This is why we ask for transaction history. If this happens you can contact the seller for refund. Please don’t just assume they are selling duplicates on purpose. Talk to the seller. Things can be worked through.

 

I have noticed a lot of problems have been happening with breedables disappearing at auctions, some by SL roll backs, some even by lag when trying to rez them, and others when taking them after purchase. When you go to an auction you have to fill out a notecard about your breedable. It only takes a little extra time to record the UUID number on the notecard.

 

How do I find the UUID Number?

 

Go to edit on the breedable, in the description line that is the uuid number. That number is very important and can help a lot if you need to file a ticket for a missing breedable, highlight the number and copy , paste to notecard. Doing this is like taking each one of your breedables’ fingerprints!! It can be a big time help if anything ever does happen to your breedable.

 

Name that Breedable…

 

Give all breedables a name, so if you don’t know the UUID when it goes missing , but you do know its name, we have something to go by when we try to find it.

 

So lets get ready, prepare yourselves,Tuesday’s are always full of bumpy rides. Here’s hoping your Tuesday will be rollback free!

It’s Time For Some Summer School At ARU!

Hi everyone and Happy Thursday!! Today I wanted to remind you guys that class are still being held at ARU! This is a great way to learn about any of our breedables if you are new to Amaretto. Even if you are a breeder that has been breeding for a long time this is also a great resource to learn something that you didn’t know!

The classes are held on Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday every week at 9 AM SLT and 5 PM SLT. You do not have to register or sign up to attend. Classes do not generally take a lot of time most last no more than 10 minutes. Every month we post the ARU schedule on the website as well as several of our locations in world. Here is the link to the ARU calendar
http://amarettobreedables.com/pages/calendar

There is also a ARU website that you can join to keep up with what classes you have taken and which classes you haven’t!
Link to ARU website:
http://amarettoranchuniversity.com/

If you have a suggestion for a class at ARU please drop a suggestion notecard in the mail box in the courtyard!

If you have taken a class that has not posted to the ARU website please file a ticket and let us know the class and the date you took it.
File your tickets at:
http://support.amarettobreedables.com
To receive credit for a class that you are taking you must turn in a notecard made by your avatar at the end of each class to the instructor!

All of the things are pretty simple and you may learn a thing or two about Amaretto Breedables that you did not already know. I would suggest for old and new breeders to attend!
Here is the inworld slurl for the ARU sim:
