The topic came up in group chat that if a Meeroo is not fed for a while it will run away and the only way to get it back from what we understand is to buy a whistle. Someone pointed out that if an SL glitch or RL were to come up, that could be really unfortunate for people.
I don't know how much the whistle would be, but if someone had a substantial amount of Meeroos run away, that could add up to a substantial amount. I'm not entirely sure that I would bother bringing all of mine back if any if something like this were to happen to me.
I understand that consequences are desired for people who don't feed their Meeroos for a long time, but sometimes stuff out of our control does happen. My suggestion as a sort of compromise is to have two options available, a whistle that is a one time use object for a minimal amount of money, and a whistle that gives unlimited uses for a much larger cost.
Anyone else have other ideas?
