Its not only European time zones who are messed up by the 8pm slt release of the beta Meeroos. Those of us on the East Coast USA are going to be affected too if we can't stay up until 11pm (our time) and we have been waiting all weekend long to get our little critters back. Its a bitter pill to swallow to finally, at the end of my work day, see a notice come through my email saying 8pm slt. I have to wake up at 1:30am slt for work (4:30am eastern time) and staying up until 11pm is next to impossible, especially to function in my job.

6pm slt is just as busy as 8pm slt, so is 5pm slt. I am not sure why waiting until later is better. I love my meeroos, but I am very very disappointed. I will get to set them out...if they are being distributed when I wake up in the morning and then I go to work and won't be able to interact with them at all. I really think that this was poor planning, as we have been waiting since our Meeroos poofed so unexpectedly.
