Team Meeroos have issued a warning regarding Meeroos as a result of ongoing asset server issues in Second Life. Please do not purchase Meeroos or do anything with them that uses the asset servers. That means: don't pick them up, don't take them in to Inventory and do not rez anything for now. I have been effected by this directly as I tried to buy some more Meeroos only to have the Chest vanish from my Inventory during a Teleport home! This is a serious warning, I strongly suggest you follow Team Meeroos suggestions and read their blog post on the matter HERE. There are also instructions there for how to report missing items. I assume an all-clear will be posted when it is safe to pick up Meeroos again.
Linden Labs has posted that the issues have been resolved: "[RESOLVED May 22nd 11:35 AM PDT] The asset server issue has been resolved. In-world activities can now be conducted normally." However I would wait until Team Meeroos does a Group notice or blog post before resuming normal activities.
Please be patient with the CSRs, they are dealing with a lot of problems right now and they will help everyone as quickly as they can. This is Linden Labs fault, not theirs. Team Meeroos has said on their blog that all problems should be addressed within twenty-four (24) hours: "They may not get to your immediately, but the CSR benchmark is to address every concern with 24 hours of receipt." So while it might take a bit of time, they will get your problem sorted out. Have faith :)

Launch!
As I am sure most of you know Launch is under-way. The original two (2) Regions have been full since 2pm SLT when it began. Team Meeroos have now opened up some additional locations with Meeroos vendors:
If you are having trouble getting to one of the primary stores, use one of these back-up locations. I hope everyone gets loads of Meeroos! Woot!

Pre-Order Perfection
Pre-order Chests have been sent to everybody who ordered them and is currently InWorld. Tiger writes, in a WW of Meeroos Group notice: "If you are online you should have all your preorders now. If you just got online (or reading this later) your preorder should popup within a minute or two of logging in." That was quick! I do not think perfection is too strong a word to use, I have had zero problems. Got my chests and super cool golden Home, got everything rezzed and Meeroos coaxed without a hitch. They are happily sleeping away at my feet as I write.
I understand, from a Group notice, that some people are mistakenly using the RELEASE button on the HUD thinking it would release (birth) their Meeroos from their nests. Nests are coaxed by "Touching" them and selecting the "Coax" option from the drop down menu. My heart goes out to those unfortunate individuals who accidentally released their precious pre-order Meeroos. I hope something can be done for them, but that may not be possible or advisable. It is just that I can imagine how I might feel if I had made an error like that and lost some of my Meeroos. I would be devastated and probably not be talking to myself for awhile. Um, that did not sound right; I don't really talk to myself much now, really. I am so glad to have Meeroos back, my proper forever Meeroos. Now it is time to decide on names. Think I might wait a bit and see what suits them.
Thank you, Team Meeroos, for an excellent evening so far. I intend to finish this up and get back to spending some time with my Meeroos! Might see if anybody has new Meeroos they want to show off, I want to see them all. Remember: Only three (3) days till the Official Launch, I can not wait, I am going to buy a few more for sure, how many is still uncertain ;)
Warning from the InWorld Group about the RELEASE button:
"Some of you are getting your Meeroos trunks and upon getting your nests from the chest, you are going to your STATUS tab and clicking RELEASE which releases them to the wild, not from their nest. To release from a nest, simply left click it. Again, please do NOT go to status tab and click release to coax a baby from a nest. It will leave your care in doing that."

Important Information About Trunks
The delivery of pre-ordered Meeroo Family packs is almost upon us. They begin in slightly more than twenty four (24) hours. A lot of people who were not in Open Beta will be receiving their first ever Meeroos Trunk, and there are some things they should know: The single most important caution is: Never "Open" a Meeroos Trunk! They are designed to be "Touched" and then unpacked via a drop-down menu. If you "Open" a Trunk and extract its contents to your Inventory it, and the contents, will be broken!
Malevay Studios has said they will not replace Trunks broken by being "Opened." Catherine's quote from their blog is: "If you break your Chest after it is delivered by opening it incorrectly(i.e. extracting contents to your inventory via edit mode)or deleting it altogether, we will not be able to replace it or refund your money for it. This is not because we want to be difficult!" That might sound a bit draconian but if you think about it: as a company, they have nothing but your word that the Trunk was "Opened" and therefore broken, someone could have set those Items out correctly and then simply claim that the Trunk was broken. I am sure the vast majority of us would never do anything like that, but some people will. While I suppose there might be some way to match up purchases with Trunks and Meeroo counts; you can sell/buy Meeroos and people will use that to obfuscate things in an attempt to get free product. That coupled with the fact that, I assume, every Trunk sent out or purchased [of a specific type EX: Family Pack] is identical until you rez it InWorld. Prior to that you could transfer it to anyone, they could rez and open it and then hand you back the empty (read: broken) Trunk.
Perhaps I am over thinking it. I bet Team Meeroos have thought about it quite a bit. Especially in light of what I consider very customer-friendly policies and TOS. If they say they wont do it I am sure it is for a good reason. In the end preventing Meeroo fraud protects everyone who owns them except those perpetuating the scams [They will get theirs eventually, see: Karma]. So while I am sure there are going to be some very angry Avatars who do "Open" their Trunks, that has to be balanced against the damage not having that policy in-place would cause.
It seems the best course of action for everybody involved is to make sure everyone receiving Trunks knows how they work and how to correctly unpack them. Team Meeroos has made a tutorial video for just that purpose [Below]. I can only assume it will also be in the instructions notecard that will, I hope, come with the Trunks (i.e. not in the Trunk). I believe the Trunk itself chats the instruction not to "Open" it when you rez one. In my opinion there really is not much of an excuse not to know how to unpack it, but information can be overlooked. Especially in the excitement of pre-orders and getting your first forever Meeroos. If you have friends who are going to be getting Meeroos for the first time: make sure to let them know. A Family Pack is a pretty big investment, at least they were for me. I think it is better to take the risk of telling someone who already knows than not to, and potentially have that investment lost.
So, grab a cup of coffee [Video is: 3min 19sec long] and have a watch of the helpful Tutorial video produced by Team Meeroos. Make sure to point your friends and family who are expecting Meeroos there as well.

If anybody knows what the correct term for them is now that would also be helpful. I'm not sure if we should be calling them Trunks or Chests. It seems like we're moving toward Chest as the proper term, but I'm uncertain.

End of Open Beta Announced!
Team Meeroos has announced the end of Open Beta, the dates for Pre-Order delivery and the Official Launch! Dates are as follows:
There are two (2) locations that will be available to purchase Meeroos at after the Official Launch on the 21st:
Twas: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Twas/93/71/131
Haute Couture: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Haute%20Couture/139/158/22
Note on Pre-Orders: It looks like they are going to use the same delivery system tested during Open Beta and you will need to log-on after 2pm on the 18th to be offered your pre-order Trunk. That means you will not get an offline notice about your Trunk being sent, it will not be delivered until you are online. Of course: make sure you are not in busy mode when it is offered!
I am really going to miss the Beta ones I have but I knew it would end soon and I am now uncontrollably excited about getting my "for real" Meeroos! This even makes the Blogger outage fiasco seem not so bad. Thanks again Team Meeroos.
So; if you are in Open Beta and have beta Meeroos out, they are going to sneak off to the wild about Midnight tonight. Take your pictures and say goodbye while you can. It is going to be pretty empty in those Meeroo areas for the next few days.
Now, must get a nap, then get InWorld and say goodbye to my Meeroos who are about to set out across the Grid in search of new adventures. I'll pack them a lunch...
From the most recent Meeroos blog post, by Catherine: "Release is the beginning of a magnificent, long term reveal of stories, lore and mystery that await your discovery. We're not making things up as we go along: The Meeroos have undergone a highly sophisticated story development well before we entered technical development. The Meeroos culture will impact how you play the game, and it will even take you to places you never imagined in the style of play. With what has been revealed in Beta, please know, you've not even scratched the surface."
End of Open Beta: Midnight SLT, Saturday - May 14th [Today!]
End of Pre-Orders: Midnight SLT, Saturday - May 14th

Don't Pick Up Your Meeroos!
A warning from the WW of Meeroos InWorld Group:
[Sent aprox: 6:55am PDT]
Group Notice From: The Wonderful World Of Meeroos, Mehgan Southmoor
"Right now SL is having major issues causing many meeroos to get lost, please do not pick up any meeroos until the all clear is given"
I figure this is related to the issues Linden Labs is having with the asset servers. I suggest you follow the advice above and refrain from picking up Meeroos or taking them into Inventory. I would also suggest not rezzing any you may have in Inventory and take a miss on birthing nests for now. These problems could, in theory, impact them as well.
Note: The Grid Status post from LL claims the problem is resolved, but I intend to wait for the all clear from Team Meeroos before I resume any Meeroo related activities that involve the asset servers. They are obviously in a better position to know when things are going wrong and let us know about it than the Lab is.
I will keep an eye out for the "all clear" and will update this post when I see it!
UPDATE: All-clear has been given, feel free to resume your normal Meeroos activities.

Trunk delivery informational update!
Brand new blog post from Team Meeroos with specific times for Open Beta trunk delivery has been posted. The times below are for tonight, Monday May 2nd, 2011. A time-line:
7:00pm SLT: Last Phase of Open Beta begins
8:00pm SLT: Attach your Meeroos HUD & Accept any HUD updates [Wear the updated HUD]
8:20pm SLT: Delivery of trunks [chests?] begins!
We have been asked to place and birth all the nests as quickly as possible once received. However for those of us outside the US this may prove difficult. While I would love to stay up until 4am to participate, I fear my bedtime falls much earlier when the kids have school the next day. And a nasty habit of waking up at 6am... But I will get my Meeroos placed and birthed at the earliest opportunity, I promise! The timing is intended to take advantage of Second Life's peak concurrency, when the highest number of people are logged on, which makes sense. Unfortunate for some of us, but best for the Meeroos overall.
On the Meeroos blog Catherine has written, once the deliveries arrive: "Begin unpacking your Chest as quickly as possible! (Remember, do not open the contents and extract to inventory, you'll break it!) Simply click on the Chest and unpack it from the dropdown menu that appears." So there you go :)
Some additional information: The petting range for Meeroos has been increased, which we knew, the new range has been confirmed as 3 meters. I don't know what it was before the update [1 meter?] but that feels more reasonable. There are a few projects Malevay Studios have in progress as well, they are:
>> A Mute button for HUD sounds.
>> A Redesign of the way you engage the Oracle.
>> Alternative sized HUDS for multiple UI Sizes.
>> Tiny Animations
>> Hovertext toggle on/off button on Meeroos
Looking forward to seeing the multiple sized HUDs and will be great to toggle the float text. Makes identifying a specific Meeroo in a crowd, um... flock, no, herd? Anybody know what a group of Meeroos is called? Going to need to look into that. If anybody knows... IM me, or comment.
Update: the following was just sent out as a Group notice InWorld:
We know for our European times, the release is unfriendly! Our intention is to release at peak time SLT (Or american west coast) and have it roll across the world so the server experiences multiple stress spikes. Each of you, no matter your timeszone, is valuable to this ongoing release! Thank you so much for understanding.

Meeroos Gone!
Oh man! It looks like every Meeroo on the Grid for Open Beta has wandered away! Don't worry, nothing is wrong. Well, not too wrong. As Catherine writes on their Blog: "...we left on our "Beta End!" switch that told the database to set Meeroos to the wild beginning today. Many people coming online today will find that their Meeroos have all returned to the wild with their families." She goes on to be very candid and forthcoming with this explanation and apology: "I'll be completely honest with you, this was our mistake. Please note, it was NOT our intention for it to happen this way, and we deeply apologize for the suddenness of it. We understand how shocking and confusing it was for many of you Meeroo Parents. Although our intention was to have them vanish to the wild, we wanted to provide you adequate time to say your good-byes and prepare for the inevitable." So it was just an accident.
I have to admit I was a bit worried when I got the offlines! I understand, these things happen, no big deal. It's Open Beta and we have known we were going to loose these little guys eventually. It is a bit jarring; which it is obvious Team Meeroos understands from the blog post. There is also an indicator of just how quickly endearing these Meeroos can be: I miss them already. I don't like that they are gone, and I want them back. How can they not be an amazing breedable if I feel this level of loss knowing they will be replaced on Monday? And yes, they will be replaced on Monday, May 2nd 2011, with updated versions!
I've read through the changes they are making for Mondays release, and it looks good. Some of the most mentioned topics I saw on the Forums are in there, including my personal favourite:
>> The Seasons displaying ---- has been being removed and replaced with text better indicating a Meeroo's status.
I don't see any info about changing anything appearance related, so I would expect everything to look pretty much the same after the Monday release. I am pleased about that as I think everything looks amazing as it is. I am in the "big fan of the HUD" camp, so I hope it hangs around in something similar to its current form for awhile.
Fellowships and Regard will NOT be reset on Monday. So you will still be in your current Fellowship and your Regard will also remain intact. In fact it appears that you can continue to answer Oracle questions during this time and accumulate extra Regard while the Meeroos are away.
So, panic over. Everything is all right with Meeroo kind, well except that nobody has any Meeroos. It is going to be a long wait until Monday. I'll try to keep busy, maybe a little scripting, update my Meeroo finder a bit so it'll sort the list alphabetically [Don't fret, it will always be free]. Maybe read a book or two. But I'll make time, and perhaps some of you will do the same, to say a belated good bye to: Smeego, Minni, Lope, Blonk, Jimp and the single un-named Meeroo. I wish you well in the wild. Come visit home some time.

and the rest:
>> Breeding time has been shortened once again. They'll be mature at 5 days old, and will have entered their first season by 7 days old.
>> Fix for Fellowship set Meeroos who are hopping around stumps set to fellowship stumps belonging to another member. "Home hoppers" as i like to call them!
>> No more spam! Every time a region would restart all the Meeroos would IM or email their offline owner to say they're going for a wander! We've reduced how often Meeroos contact a user.

Extra Home Stump & Food from Team Meeroos
Team Meeroos, AKA Malevay Studios, has started sending out those extra home stumps and food to everyone in Open Beta. You should get yours shortly after logging in if you are wearing your Meeroos HUD. If you are InWorld I imagine detaching and re-attaching it would also work. The items come in a nifty egg basket pictured below (thank you scarlett Tamura for the picture).
The egg basket also contains a bonus surprise: a firefly generator. All nice and Copy/Trans, to help create that perfect mystical Meeroos atmosphere for your Meeroos home area. I am even impressed with the designs on the eggs! See, I told you everyone would get more food! Nothing to worry about. Now I just have to wait till they can breed...
As an aside, I have created and released a Meeroo finder to help locate lost or hiding Meeroos. It gives you their SLURL* instead of using particle beams, so you can TP directly to the Meeroo you want. Prolly easier to do that if their movement is set to OFF, but it gets you in the general area in any case. It is called "Where Is My Meeroo?" and the current version is 0.1.0beta, yes beta, please comment nicely! It's available on the Marketplace (SLX) and is Modify/Copy/Trans except for the script which is No-Modify/Copy/Trans. If you are interested: have a look HERE and let me know what you think. Preferably here not on XStreet, but is up to you. I'll try to incorporate any suggestions I can. [It also chats their ID# even if you have changed their name]
*To use the SLURLs: Open your local chat window. The SLURLs should be displayed in a different color. When you click on one it will open the TP window and allow you to teleport to that location.

Preferably here not on XStreet, but is up to you. I'll try to incorporate any suggestions I can. [It also chats their ID# even if you have changed their name]
*To use the SLURLs: Open your local chat window. The SLURLs should be displayed in a different color. When you click on one it will open the TP window and allow you to teleport to that location.

Update v0.76 for stumps
There is an update out to fix crashing stumps. The update will take your Meeroos home stump from version 0.75 to version 0.76. The update process could not possibly be simpler. I am blown away with how much easier this update is to apply than any other breedable update I have ever done.
If you did not get the Group notice about the update (I did not: IMs capped) just pull up your Groups list and select the WW of Meeroos Group and click the "Group Info" button then go to the "Notifications" tab (I suggest sorting by date) and scroll down a bit you will see the notice with the updater Object attached. Select that Notification and hit the "Open Attachment" button and poof! you will have an updater stump in your Inventory.
Once you have your updater go to your current home stump and rez the new update stump next to it. [Make sure you are wearing the correct Group tag for the land you are on] The new stump will find the old one and, I love this part, moves itself to exactly where the old one is and then deletes it. The new stump then takes over for the old one and begins updating all your Meeroos. It took less than 5 minutes to update all 8 of my Meeroos, probably less than three but I forgot to time it exactly. In any case it is quick and painless. I have never updated anything in Second Life this easily before. It is essentially fully automated once you drop the updated stump!
Here is the text of the InWorld Group notice about the update:
Please read the following instructions very carefully, so you can update your Meeroos. This is an important update and MUST be carried out as soon as possible.
This update will fix stump crashing issues.
Rez the updater next to your stump. Your stump will update and then one by one your Meeroos will update. Please do not pet them, click them or attempt to attach them until the update is finished.
Once finished your Meeroos will be updated to 0.76 as will your stump. IM a CSR if you need help.
Keep up the fantastic work team Meeroos!
