Meeroos Addresses It's Pet Issues

Meeroos have been around for a long time, since 2011. While they've long past their heyday, there are still some people who continue to raise and care for some. This includes one friend of mine who will remain anonymous in this article. They did have some trouble early on when Linden Lab banned the asset manager of the company by mistake. But it was smooth sailing once that was resolved. 

 

For quite some time things have been uneventful other than their cute noises and asking for snuggles. But a couple weeks ago, she started telling me they had problems, not working right. Some were unable to eat. Other people in the Meeros group were saying they were having troubles too. But there was nothing heard from the staff, no announcements. And the website at http://www.worldofmeeroos.com/ hadn't been updated since 2022. 

 

Finally there was an update, an announcement which my friend passed to me, from a 77ecb6 (UrsulaMarie Sakura). 

 

As most of you know meeroos is having some issues, and i'm aware of most of them. I'm the one who broke everything during the transfer.

Meeroos previously was located on some hosting that had massively scaled up in costs that was untenable putting everything in the red and causing moxie to have to pay out of pocket to keep it all up.

I was called in during the holiday to find solution, the main solution was migrating off old hosting to reduce costs and cancel some sims to further reduce costs. 

Meeroos is not going away or dying, however, I did encounter some issues in the translation of things from 2010 operating system and code to modern operating system and code. 

Thus a ton of bugs and issues occurred from this sadly. With that being said at this time best course is to reduce breeding in this time frame while I repair the core functions and stabilize the systems.

My main focus is the game core first, then csr internal systems/site, then lastly the public facing website. Is no point for me to fix the public site when current CSR's can't even access the tickets, 

I have to do the things in a specific order that makes sense, obviously the game core is the most vital and most important aspect, everything else is bonus beyond that, not forgotten just in the queue of tasking.
I'm the only one working on this as no one else has the knowledge or familiarity of the systems involved. If i didn't step in we would have already been at our end at the end of 2025. That's not my goal as Meeroos is my childhood and matters greatly to me so i'm doing my function to get everything back on track. 

I know about the meepets and starving red text, I have already helped quite a few customers with this problem, right now the best solution is to do REBUILD on the live meeroos to ensure they sync up properly, I was with a customer for hours last night while we investigated it even further and tracked down the issue that her roos stopped talking since the 9th JAN 2026 and the updates were not going in. She rebuilt half her roos last night and this morning the half that was rebuilt is back to normal, the other half she rebuilt this morning after giving her the all clear. So if your facing this problem then please try a REBUILD, if after 24 hours if not looking better, let me know, I will provide a means of how to let me know at the bottom of this notecard.

I'm aware of the glitched nest skin problem, investigating this problem, Every Meeroo ID past 8715393 will be fully audited once I'm assured that the birth/nesting process is stable, any that are incorrect will be rectified to at least equivalence of the parents. If you have these nests please avoid birthing them / breeding with them in this time as it will just result in more clean up.  I will find all these in the audit, but if you have further concerns please follow the contact information at the bottom and will be able to sort it out once rectification is complete.

The CSR's and Moxie are very limited in what they can help with at this point, CSRs can still recover nests and lives, but are unable to process tickets at this time, a lot of the recent issues are stuff that I will likely have to resolve, so please have patience at this time. 

I can't resolve a nest if it has no meeroo_id, if this happens try to rebuild the parents. 

If you encountered an issue that isn't above please contact me.

My friend would go on to say her pets were better. So it would seem Meeroo's latest issues of pet problems is being fixed.

 

After about fifteen years, the company behind Meeroos is still taking care of it's pets.
