In April I was showed some Meeroos by a friend of mine who was a beta Tester and I thought they were so cute so I decided to Pre-order and I became a member of this site to get all the latest news on when Meeroos would be released and I would receive mine.
I saw that beta would end april 22 and that after that date for official release and the date for pre-orders would be assigned. I was so excited I would only have to wait about a week for my meeroos. Than on April 22nd on the site I saw that beta and pre-orders was extended for 2 more weeks . Some server tweeks had to be done and some bugs beta testers had found were being repaired. This I understood and have read on the site all the hard being put in so that they official release goes with as little bugs as possible. Every week at least once a update was given by Catherine on friday or saturday on what was done and what was next.
Suddenly last week alot happned as there was like a post daily. However, the posts stopped wednesday and since than total silence. The 2 week extention ended this weekend and suddenly theres total silence, no posts, no blog from Catherine. As, a Pre-order I would like to know what is going on and when maybe I can expect my meeroos.
I realize the value of beta testing cuase lets face it things dont always work like we thought and things have to be tested. Its great that when I get my meeroos they will not be all buggy. Not going to say name but I bought a wand in sl that comes with a spell book and it worked great till creator made an update and now the wand and spell book ddont work correctly cuase the creator forgot to update the book when he did the wand. He told me problem fixed next update and its been months and my wand and book are all buggy. So I understand beta being extended and all the hard work you guys are putting in fixing as many bugs as possible.
However, there is 1 bug you guys maybe didnt consider when beta is so long. Beta tester had been promoting the meeroos and others got interested. if possible check your lists of beta testers and pre-orders and notice the difference. Beta testers dont mind how long beta is cuase they are playing now for free and just have to deal with bugs everyonce in awhile. Pre-orders like me arent playing yet though, we just have a number given to us by the Oracle. When I did the Pre-order me and my partner went home and fixed the garden so the meeroos would have space and a big tree was uprootted for the trunks and meeroos to run around. Now the huge green spot was looking so empty people kept asking why so we had to add a peacock walking around and a bench .
When you talk and post on the forum dont forget that your not only talking to beta testers, your also talking to pre-orders .

This has been on the site for 4 days and great news for testers but useless info for me. Please break the silence and let us know what is going on. Is beta being extended, is it over, do you have a launch date yet. We want to know cuase some of us cant play witht our meeroos cuase we dont have any, we cant play the oracle, case in point, its like the wonderful world of meeroos has a big locked gate and we arent allowed in yet to the exclusive community .
