WELCOME

Most common cause of death for meks is gas poisoning from someone digging next to it. I recommend parking meks to stables, lakes or other safe places when unattended. When they die they fall to the ground and you get a message that you have certain time to recover the inventory before it despawns. Also meks only exist in Atys while your toon is connected to the server, so you won't need to worry about them while you are offline. And meks only get hungry when they move.
