Dear customers,

It has not yet been a year since we created Xen Factory but we felt it was time to provide some changes to Xen Factory, design changes but also some prices update. I'll guide you through the changes.

Prices update
Let's start with the less cool news.

As you might know we are french people and our currency is therefore Euro but since the creation of Xen Factory, we were working in Dollars. However, as of today we have decided to change our policy to Euro mostly due to paypal outrageous currency exchange fees.
The price were just changed from currency without applying exchange rates.

Though, we took this opportunity to readjust the prices for some of our products:
  • Avatar Identicons: price lowered to 5€.
  • Conversation Read Alert: price lowered to 5€.
  • Location Cloud: price lowered to 5€.
  • Mandatory Presentation: price lowered to 10€, now lifetime licence, no more renewal needed.
  • MG Album Block: price lowered to 5€.
  • Navigation Tabs to Sidebar Block: price lowered to 5€.
  • Nodes Background Image Customization: price lowered to 5€.
  • Post Sketch Draw: price lowered to 10€, renewal lowered to 5€.
  • Profile Latest Media Gallery Block: price lowered to 5€.
  • RM Donations: price lowered to 5€.
  • Thread Copy: price lowered to 5€.
  • Thread Footer Blocks: price lowered to 10€, renewal lowered to 5€.
  • XenProduct Manager Categories: price lowered to 7€, now lifetime licence, no more renewal.
  • XFMG Daily Upload Limit: now free product.
We thank you for your understanding.

New Look and feel
The changes to our look and feel were driven by two guidelines:
  • Cleaner and lighter design
  • Simpler and united product icons
After few searches, we decided to give UI.X a go and did some color/icon adaptation to fits our need.
We are quite happy with the result and we find our new layout more welcoming. We hope you'll share this feeling and like it !

In the mean time, we reworked our logo, avatars and product icons to fit with our adapted UI.X style and decided to adopt a simpler icon construction with our new X logo and the product acronyms.
As we say K.I.S.S. Keep It Simple and Stupid !

Forums modifications
Along with the new look and feel, we felt that it was hard to find out in the support sections what thread belonged to which product and the prefix system wasn't allowing fine tuning.

For this change, we have decided to go towards a different path with a sub-forum for each product in which support questions, bugs and suggestions are mixed but finely followed thanks to the prefix system. We think that this will be more straightforward for you and we will be able to better track your support requests. We also separated the add-on in two categories, one for each of us in order to help you see from who you should be awaiting an answer so that you don't feel like we don't pay attention to your questions when it comes to each other add-on.

Finally, we installed a multi prefix add-on to keep the track of the type of request (support/bug/suggestion) but in the mean time also track if the state of the request. This will require you to carefully select your prefixes but will surely help taking them into account in a leaner way.

Special offer
To celebrate the launch of Xen Factory version 2, we are going to launch a special offer.
We'll make a separate announcement for that.

Don't hesitate to exchange with us on these changes, we will be happy to discuss them with you.
