Let me start with the fact that I love my meeroos.. and I think they been worked on very well, looking at a flawless release (imo)
But. Soon after release, and it was already brought up in the betaforum, I contacted Levio, asking if we could have somethuing at the site that would make it better to "deal"with your meeroos, when you want to sort them, make pedigrees, etc. Or, even better, have a pedigree system!
Anyway, levio promised me, to talk about this in a week after release.
Unfortunality, when the week passed, I was told sl asset server issues came in between (not that I know much about it, but dont understand what sl asset server issues have direct effect on the work of the meeroo programmer) and that it had to wait. Ok. But again 1 or 2 weeks further.. and nothing.
I sent Catherine a few times a nc. No reaction. I tried to other ways. Nothing.
Now.. I have had some very bad expierences with the horses. And till now, I did my best, not to compare too much, not to be allmost paranoia. But as I am just human, I cant help it for having some thoughts about this all.
Let me write down what I think is missing;
* a decent list of the meeroos, that immediatly shows you all traits, ID, parents etc. If this list would be transportable into excel it would be even better
* I cant see my nests. Have to go into the parents, click nests, click click click..come on! They should be in the same list, or atleast in an other list visible, with all traits/stats.
* There is still no button to directly bring you on the site from your account to the meeroos (so when not inworld) again...click click trough leaderboard fellowship, fellowship, members etc
* NO info of whatever is being given about the genetics. Now. I love to puzzle. But..in this case...
We are told that personal regards enables us to look further back into the genetics history of the meeroo, and then get rare traits. Some comments in that:
* why was my koi (that I bought) born from not-high-regards parents?
* why has a canine head been born straight from the pack (so I heard)?
* if its all up to the personall regards: why is it possibler to have skyhigh regards, with only 20 meeroos...I know... its when people share nc with oracle answers. AND/or people who can be here 24hrs/day. meaning.. I cant due to rl family, rl work, rl child.. Does this means "I have no right"for rare meeroos? Would think I invested enough though:P
* regardless if its depending on the personall regards or the regards on the meeroo; its been said, one of those enables you to possibl;e get rare meeroos. "looks further back". But.. this means, I will NEVER know what my meeroo hides on nice (or less nice) traits. Not of it are 1, 2, or maybe 3 special coats, ears or whatever. And same for what those will be then.
As a mather a fact, I feel kind of forced now ( yes yes..I know... my choice to breed meeroos) to keep my starter meeroos forever.
so... are the meeroos just a brilliant commercial thing? Dont get me wrong; Malevay studios did great on their product. But it gives me a really..wrong feeling about this all, concidering the fact it will never be possible to figure the meeroos out, but meanwhile one has to keep buying food.
especially, when no reaction is given on the request to make it atleast a bit easyer to handle; data of all stats..heck, a pedigree system.
In stead of that, I see a note passing by that new stuff is being prepared for october. Isnt it time to fist make a solid base for the meeroos?? And thats NOT only working meeroos, thats much more.
Right now, I feel kind of sad and des-illusionated (sorry for the bas spelling, not native english); the meeroos seemed so promising, with a wonderfull team of kind CSR's, and a very kind opwner(s).
But now.. there is only silence.
No, I wont stop the meeroos. Not because of the money I invested; I like it to be on my sim with my friends and the meeroos. But I think its time that things are being done, before we will have the same.. bad vibes as we got with the horses.
Please, communicate with us. I am not asking to statisfy all. Not even my personal requests, no mather how essential I think they are. I will deal with it somehow. But I do think we atleast deserve answers. explanations.
