The Server will be going down today for maintenance and optimization.

*Do not worry, your Meeroos will be just fine during this period. They will not starve or run away or lose any part of their season.

*During this time, it is best to refrain from any releasing nests or Meeroos or birthing nests.

*To avoid any lost or misdirected content, please also refrain from picking up meeroos to hold them, taking them into inventory, or rezzing them from your inventory.

We will announce when the server has returned.

We have begun to see many wondrous symbols appearing since the re-discovery of the Meeroos. Linguistic specialists of this ancient language, known as "Meerunic" have been working to translate these archaic runes with mixed results and many remain untranslated. Compounding the issue of translation, according to linguists, the symbols have both phonetic and ideographic meaning, however each symbol has a second phonetic value as well. A single character can stand for: two completely different phonetic sounds and an idea or concept.

We're still working toget everything back to normal. As of 1:00am we habe made it through 500 tickets, many a result of our outage. Sadly the trouble started while we were sleeping, of course! However, once we discovered the issue, Levio was able to resolve it quickly. There are some residual errors you might see as we optimize things, but any disruptions should be minimal and you should continue playing the game normally. If anything should happen, you have nothing to fear, we always replace content adversely affected by these issues without question.

Ty all for your patience! They tell me things will get better before I need a rubber room! FYI: Linden Lab is really stepping up their game to try to help us out and we certainly appreciate it!

It's been quite a weekend here, for all of us at Malevay Studios and our wonderful community around Meeroos. We know this has been a challenging time that has been both frustrating and often discouraging, but I am pleased that we have weathered this storm and have arrived on the other side. Linden Lab and Malevay Studios have been working together to remove fraudulent content from the grid in order to restore confidence to Meeroo Parents. As always, you are our number one priority, and with Linden Lab we have taken the required steps to reduce the threats that have been plaguing us.

***UPDATE EDIT 5*** 2:17pm We have now been in communication with Linden Lab who has mobilized to to help us recover. As you may already know, food is now available on the Marketplace at out storefront here:

Two avatars appeared today, both impersonating our Asset Manager whose name is Meeroos Resident (Many of you know her, she is, in fact, multiple people, sometimes even me!)

Well, the two avatars impersonating her, named appropriately:

Meer00s Resident and Meero0s Resident.

managed to come to the store where the build permission is off, and they built invisible mock vendors to place over the authentic ones in order to intercept payments made to them. At this point, we have no idea how they managed to build an object on a no build sim. We are investigating it.

So since the beginning of July, we were tipped off to a player who had been committing a series of exploits with the Meeroos. We had been conducting a stealth investigation, monitoring activity, watching the hands that Meeroos originating from this player passed through, who they were passed too, and how frequently they were committing the action. We were also able to tell who else connect to this exploit ring were conducting this behavior.

EDIT: The meepet was designed to work like this, It will always only work if the meeroo is on a home owned by its owner. The instructions have been added in a box next to the Mee-Pet Honey Dipper.

Currently the MeePet Transformation will only work if your Meeroo is attached to a stump you own. This is due to the fact that a Meeroo home owned by another user can not (recreate) rez your Meeroo. The same as how us CSRs can only return a lost Meeroo to only your Meeroo home.
