Lots to report here on our end!
First off, I'm not pleased with the results of our pummeling the servers. They didn't stand up to our expected standard of performance. On release of Open Beta, may people had database connection errors, blue Meeroos and vanishing content. We also crashed our pre-orders for a bit. On release of the update intended to fix the stump crashes, a small amount of people experienced lost Meeroos and regard points. This is a good thing! This is what we needed to experiment with and see so we resolve all of these issues before launch!
Has your Meeroo spontaneously gone for a wander?
Did you get it back?
Still waiting to get your Meeroo back?
Give us some insight onto how the wander occurred so we can troubleshoot the issue behind the scenes! Thanks guys!
We've been in open beta for a couple of days now, so I wanted to give you all some insight on what we hope to achieve from this phase of the game and what we've learned!
Whew! What an exciting night! Just a quick recap...
Visit the Oracle here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Twas/93/71/131
With you HUD attached, click ONCE on the Oracle, the figure with outspread arms. She will greet you. If nothing appears immediately or if the sim is lagging, you may have to wait for her to respond.
She will respond in GREEN CHAT - a communication between only herself and you. In this she will provide you with a unique key. Now that you have your Key, make sure you keep it in a safe place. This is private and exclusive to you and is your identity on the server! Don't share it with anyone!
I'd like to provide you a little bit of information on what to expect in our upcoming phase of Open Beta! This timeline should help answer some of the questions we've received and clear up any confusion about Pre-Launch orders and Open Beta testing.
Server transfer is complete! Whew! Preorders are back online. Gory details after the break...
So after load testing the application server I wasn't comfortable with the performance numbers I was getting. It was time to bite the bullet and move to a bigger server!! Better now before Open Beta starts, so it runs smooth next week.
And we're taking over!
In Linden Lab's latest event, they've invited residents to create and submit their own colorful Bunny Jams to display on the Bunny Jam Island - AND you can win 5,000 Lindens!

Lots of news to share with you today! First off, let us extend out thanks to you for your patience while we have been working to improve and polish the game. I know it's been a loooong road, but we're nearing the end now, and I believe it has been well worth the time it's taken to get here. We appreciate all of your support and kind words.
I'm asked questions all day long, and it's provided me the wonderful opportunity to meet so many of our gracious community members, but I receive a lot of the same questions, so here's the answers and I hope this helps some.
WHEN DOES OPEN BETA START
I will not be able to say until next Monday, April 11, 2011.
I will then make an announcement on the blog.
DO I GET MY SPECIAL PRE-ORDER GIFTS NOW?
No, you will get your Pre-Order gifts on the very same day you get your Pre-Order package.
