Our lovely Tox gives a quick and easy demonstration of what to do when you get your preorder boxes delivered tomorrow!

We here at Malevay Studios have quite a few busy days ahead of us as we move toward our Launch dates. But, before we get there, I want to clarify a couple of things just so there is no confusion on the rules. I need this information to be as transparent as possible so there is no confusion or upset later on.

Now that I've had a chance to take care of so many things on my plate today, I didn't want to go to sleep without coming here to blog a little more in detail - and a little more personally, about the Open Beta experience.

Been awhile since I've done one of these, so grab sum coffee and come listen...

Moved onto some really sweet new servers, with more CPU than I know what to do with atm, but we should be good to go for exponential growth!

Web site was migrated over as well, this was actually the trickiest part of all, with so many moving parts. The good news is, all the issues should be resolved now, emails should be going out, etc.

Temoren Drathman sent this picture in and while plenty of Meeroo pix have been floating around, this one really tickled me when I needed something uplifting.

It's times like this all the nights and weekends for the last seven months are totally worth it!!

Ty all so much for your support!! :-)

Tonight was an overwhelming success.

We delivered over 2500 chests from the database flawlessly.

The only bug we discovered was the server still registering some folks as having a previously rezzed Beta Chest and auto deleting their new one. We simply redelivered these manually.

I know....

...That waiting is hard, but please, for the moment...


Bare With!

So, we were all geared up for last night, we play the diligent role of Santa Claus and checked our list once, then twice. Some things you simply can't anticipate until you test with a large audience, and that's when the flaws are revealed.

For us, it was the Firewall on the servers which reacted to the barrage of activity by denying service under the belief it was under a malicious attack. It's a safeguard in every secure system, to ensure that the data is preserved under a threat. That's why so many of you experienced issues last night.

We're going to let another large batch of trunks build up and resume sending again sometime throughout Tuesday May 3.

our initial findings are an error in the DB firewall which felt the server was under a DoS attack and started refusing requests, so we'll need time to address this issue.

It was a great test, we had way less issues then the first round at the start of beta, at least up until the firewall got grumpy lol.

We apologize for the inconvenience and the delay we know you all want your Meeroos as badly as we want you to have them.
