| − | <p>Hello MH Communitaaaaay,</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>The response to our competition was overwhelming and we got way more designs than anticipated. We thought it impossible to just choose 3 designs and after much debate the team here settled on 6 designs. I then pulled rank and added two more I thought had to be included. It is obviously not easy choosing the eventual winners as it meant 8 winners but over 1700 people who lost out.</p>
| |
| | | | |
| − | <p>In no particular order, the following designs were selected;</p>

| |
| | <blockquote> | | <blockquote> |
| − | <p>Hey there, MouseHunters!</p>
| |
| | | | |
| − | <p>New stuff will be coming your way soon, and so we wanted to share some of the awesome new features that you can expect this month!</p>
| + | ==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 1 ==== |
| | + | CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH |
| | | | |
| − | <p>Today, we have a sneak peek at two new areas that will be coming out shortly. Each area will have tons of mice, and lots of new things to do!</p>
| + | ==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 2 ==== |
| | + | CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH |
| | | | |
| − | <p>First, get your horse and plow and mosey on down to Gnawville, the King's own farming grounds, full of beloved vegetable mice such as the Carrot mouse, Cabbage mouse, the Spud mouse and of course, our old friend Cow, who will frequently get lost and moo for help from your friends page. While hunting in this area, the Hunter's Horn will be replaced by the Harvester Horn, for extra farm-time fun!</p>

| | | | |
| − | <p>Some (very) observant MouseHunters might have noticed that our second new area has been visible on the map for a few months now. Just northwest of the Lagoon lies the Albino Plains, an area with very unique properties. This area will be filled with all new mice and traps, and the mysterious new power type: Invisible.</p>

| | | | |
| − | <p>Along with all of the cool new areas we’re adding to MouseHunt, this month will also introduce handy new features such as the Omni-trap tool. If you’re tired of switching between different power types in order to catch mice, this tool is for you. With the Omni-trap, there will be no more need to switch between traps for the correct power type. You can simply combine all of your owned traps into one super powerful trap, and keep hunting! With the Omni-trap tool at your side, you’ll never miss a mouse again!</p> | + | </blockquote> --> |

| − | <p>But wait. . . there’s more. This month, we will introduce a new way to create unlimited MouseHunt content while negating any need for the art department! Along with the Omni-trap, we will be releasing another new feature: the random mouse generator. Taking hundreds of individual drawings of mouse parts, the system will be able to generate several thousand new unique mice for you all to explore and capture!</p>

| − | ''{{date|31|March|2010}}''
| |
| − | <blockquote>
| |
| − | <p>Thanks to the efforts of hunters armed with Nannybots, those pesky Terrible Twos mice have ceased their troublemaking and been pushed out of the Kingdom! Their companions; The Rockstar, Present and Birthday mice have also quieted their party and retreated back into seclusion.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>With the Terrible Twos mice now gone, Digby has recovered all the stolen Chrome Nannybot parts which they are now selling in the Harbour general store for a limited time only. The parts do not come cheap, but allow hunters who have a Nannybot to upgrade it into a medium-strength shadow trap.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>If you were lucky enough to collect the parts as loot this month and do not want to add the Limited Edition Chrome Nannybot to your collection of traps you may sell the parts to the general store. If you have already assembled your Chrome Nannybot and wish to sell the parts, you can disassemble it using your Hunter's Hammer.</p>

| − | === Dr. F. Romage Living Shards ===
| |
| − | ''{{date|24|March|2010}}''
| |
| | <blockquote> | | <blockquote> |
| − | <p>The Town of Digby keeps on expanding by drilling deeper into soil, making room for more of the King's finest scientists. Recent drilling has uncovered a network of underground streams where small glowing crystals have washed up.</p>
| |
| | | | |
| − | <p>These crystals were soon found to be the Living Shards, used by Dr. F. Romage in his experiments to bring the Monster mice to life. After some careful experimentation a second, more cheesy use has been uncovered.</p>
| + | '''The King's Vault is Open!''' |
| | | | |
| − | <p>Adding Radioactive Sludge and Living Shards to Curds and Whey causes an instant reaction, which results in a lime-scented, green glowing cheese that quickly earned the name Limelight Cheese. The small shards vibrate within the curd, making high-pitched noises that draws out mice that dwell deep below the soil at Digby.</p>
| + | Open prize packs and gain access to the King's Vault filled with goodies! |
| | | | |
| − | <p>To accommodate hunters in making Limelight Cheese the Town of Digby has opened a general store selling both Curds and Whey, as well as Living Shards. The shards are quite rare and hard to find, making them a tad on the expensive side. If you're gold coffers are running low, don't fret! Hunting Monster mice is a sure-way to find a shard or two for free!</p>
| |
| | | | |
| − | <p>Hunting the subterranean mice of Digby should not be taken lightly! What dwells deep below can be a frightening sight. The subtle vibration of Limelight Cheese can attract the massive Big Bad Burroughs mouse, whose multiple jaws yield thousands of teeth just waiting to snack on some cheese.</p>
| + | ==== The King's Giveaway has BEGUN! ==== |
| | + | The gilded gates protecting the King's Royal Treasure Vault have been opened and the King's Giveaway has begun! |
| | | | |
| − | <p>Living Shards were not the only discovery made deep below Digby... An extremely rare element named Ohnoesium (which coincidentally makes a nice base for many traps) was found in the tunnels left by Big Bad Burroughs mice. If you're looking to acquire this base, then hunt for the Big Bad Burroughs mouse.</p>
| + | From now until '''July 2''', the Treasurer, Snooty, High Roller, Mobster, and Leprechaun mice will be encountered more frequently everywhere in the Kingdom! |
| | | | |
| − | ----
| + | During the giveaway, each time you attract a mouse, you'll have a chance to attract a prize mouse as a '''bonus hunt''' which does not consume any cheese or charms and will appear as an additional hunt in your Hunter's Journal. |
| | | | |
| − | <p>With this, the final update of March has come - the last piece of the Nannybot upgrade, originally designed by Digby! Smashing a standard Nannybot and crafting it together with a Time Out Upgrade, Chrome Nanite Coating and Superstar Nanny Glasses creates a medium-strength shadow trap to calm the shenanigans of rambunctious zombies.</p> | + | <center>''Capture these rare and valuable mice for Prize Keys and a chance to win SUPER<nowiki>|</nowiki>brie+, King's Credits, and more!''</center> |
| | | | |
| − | <p>If you're looking to get your hands on the three upgrade pieces but are not sure you want to find them on your own, the good people at Digby have your needs in mind! Digby has been seen across the Kingdom setting traps and stockpiling loot. They plan on selling the three upgrade pieces at the Harbour within a few days.</p>
| + | ==== King's Prize Keys and The Vault ==== |
| | | | |
| − | ----
| + | The greedy prize mice have snatched up '''ALL''' the keys this year! Only prize mice will drop King's Prize Keys but they will always drop at least one! Use these keys to open 10 Mystery Prize Packs from your Hunter's Camp. These packs contain all sorts of goodies such as Gold, Regal Charms, King's Credits and SUPER<nowiki>|</nowiki>brie+! |
| | | | |
| − | <p>If you have ever been to our online store at Cafe Press you would have probably noticed out T-shirt designs are way out of date. We would like to add some more designs and thought it would be cool to run a T-shirt design contest. Besides the honor of having the winning design, you could also win one of three $295 prizes. The contest will be run and managed on the 99designs site, you have just shy of 7 days to get your entries in.</p>
| + | Once you've opened 10 Mystery Prize Packs, the King will allow you to peek into the vault and select one of three randomly offered, highly valuable prizes! Once a prize has been selected from the vault, the door will slam shut and the prizes will reset. You may visit the vault every time you open 10 prize packs! |

| + | ==== Prized Items ==== |
| − | -- {{MHP|502041253|Dave Vanderburg}}
| + | Capturing a Treasurer, Snooty, or High Roller Mouse will reward you with King's Credits which you can spend at the King's Arms or King's Cart for equipment to help you in a wide range of hunting endeavours. |
| − | </blockquote>
| |
| | | | |
| − | === A Curious Little Chemist Brews Up Trouble! ===
| + | Capturing a Mobster Mouse will reward you with SUPER<nowiki>|</nowiki>brie+ in quantities of 25, 50, 75, 100, 250, 500, or even 1,000! |
| − | ''{{date|16|March|2010}}''
| |
| − | <blockquote> | |
| − | <p>It all started when a Terrible Twos mouse invited a friend to the party -- A curious little chemist mouse who began to experiment with Gnarled Cheese while exploring The Great Gnarled Tree. A dash of this and a hint of that later the novice scientist created a new potion! If you manage to catch a Curious Chemist mouse they're sure to be carrying one of these new potions, but be warned that the little chemists are a bit picky about their cheese and seem to only enjoy the crisp flavour of Gnarled Cheese.</p> | |
| | | | |
| − | <p>When used with brie or SUPER|brie+ (along with a little bit of the magic contained within every Gnawnian gold coin) these new potions make Wicked Gnarly Cheese. Woah, totally awesome dude! Wicked Gnarly Cheese is a much more pungent version of Gnarled Cheese and seems to attract the very strongest mice of the Lagoon, including a new powerful mouse that had long been hiding in caverns located below the water's surface.</p> | + | Considered some of the most rare items in the Kingdom are the Mystery Pot of Gold and Mystery Satchel of Gold dropped by the extremely rare and elusive '''Leprechaun Mouse'''. Should you have the extraordinary luck of not only encountering but also capturing a Leprechaun Mouse it will most often drop a Mystery Satchel of Gold containing a generous quantity of Gold along with SUPER<nowiki>|</nowiki>brie+ and charms. On more rare occasions, the Leprechaun will drop a Mystery Pot of Gold which contains even more SUPER<nowiki>|</nowiki>brie+ and the chance of a cash prize! |
| | | | |
| − | <p>The powerful mouse known as a Silth mouse is indeed a worthy adversary for any hunter. The intimidating stare of its beady red eyes can cripple your courage, setting you back points. While its menacing claws like to reach into your pack and steal a few shiny gold coins. Hunting this new adversary is for the most experienced of hunters -- it will test your patience along with your resource collecting skills. It will be a challenging hunt, but is sure to come with bragging rights!</p>
| |
| | | | |
| − | <p>If you're looking for a more tangible reward than bragging rights, rest assured the King is offering a handsome reward of more than 15,000 gold coins per capture. The Silth mouse also seems to enjoy hoarding the gold it steals from hunters, you may also be lucky enough to collect a gold satchel upon catching this watery beast.</p>
| + | ==== Regal Codex ==== |
| | | | |
| − | <p>The Terrible Twos mouse has brought the party to Whisker Woods and in the process somehow surrendered a piece of Digby technology to the Silth mouse! If you catch a Silth this month you'll find yourself in possession of Chrome Nanite Coating which is sure to come in handy if you're looking to upgrade your Nannybot at the end of March. If you don't catch a Silth the Chrome Nanite will be available from the Harbour general store for a limited time in the future.</p>
| + | Unlock the new Regal Codex by hunting with any Regal Charm to find Regal Codex Pages as loot drops. Mice drop these pages both during and after the giveaway! The pages can then be turned in at the King's Arms for the Codex. |
| | | | |
| − | <p>Meanwhile, the always enthusiastic Larry has updated his competition scoreboard to include the Silth. You can check out his scoreboard [http://apps.facebook.com/mousehunt/?bdaystats here], or by clicking of the links circulating in the news ticker at the top of every page.</p> | + | <center>''The codex allows you a chance to upgrade your existing Regal Charm into the next tiered version!''</center> |

| | + | </div></div> |
| | | | |
| − | ;The King Looks towards the Future:
| |
| | | | |
| − | <p>The King is certain that the depths of the Lagoon are a mysterious place where there is more to find. Hunters currently lack the ability to plunge beneath its surface to explore the strange caverns below, but the King has the scientists of Digby to work on the problem! Although not too optimistic about this exploration, the King expects a breakthrough to be made over the course of the next few months that may reveal hunting grounds below, or beyond the Lagoon. When and if that time comes, the King may need you hunters to hunt the Silth to aid the efforts of Digby's explorations. If you're the type of hunter that likes to always be prepared (even months in advance), perhaps save a small stash of Wicked Gnarled.... just incase.</p>

| |
| − | ''{{date|9|March|2010}}''
| |
| − | <blockquote>
| |
| − | <p>It is now week two of the MouseHunt Birthday Celebration!</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>For the remaining weeks in March we'll be releasing new, challenging mice in existing areas. These mice are meant to be the most powerful mice of their respective regions and act as an accomplishment for hunters looking to prove themselves to be the best of the best!</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>This week the [[Terrible Twos]] mouse has brought the party to Furoma where their antics and noise have awoken an ancient mouse of great power. The party is really heating up -- Keep an eye open for an increased population of Terrible Twos, Present, Birthday and Rockstar mice in both Gnawnia and Furoma.</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>The [[Dojo Sensei]] can be found roaming the [[Pinnacle Chamber]]. Be warned -- Hunting the Dojo Sensei is not for the faint of heart! Their swift attacks can come with a penalty of crippled courage, setting back a hunter's points, but their capture is the most lucrative of the Furoma region. The Dojo Sensei mice drop a variety of loot including a set of blueprints for a new physical weapon made of platinum and onyx which is more powerful than the Digby Drillbot!</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>Attracting a powerful adversary such as the Dojo Sensei is a major part of the challenge of capturing one. Their preference in bait is a strange form of [[Onyx Gorgonzola|Onyx Marbled Gorgonzola]] (O.M.G.) made by fusing together Curds and Whey with Onyx Stones using Ionized Salt.</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>It seems the mysteries of Furoma Onyx are slowly being revealed... who knows what other uses it may have!</p>
| |

| |

| |
| − | <p>'''Meanwhile, deep in the labs of Digby...'''</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>Upon finishing the design of the [[Nannybot]], the good people at Digby decided she could use a new chassis, one with a little more style and "bling". Unfortunately, the three vital components needed to upgrade the Nannybot were scattered all over the Kingdom by mischievous Terrible Twos mice. This week the first piece of the upgrade appears to have surfaced -- a "Timeout Upgrade" clock. Somehow this upgrade piece has gotten into the hands of the Dojo Sensei!</p>

| − | <p>If you should happen to catch a Dojo Sensei this month then you may be lucky enough to loot a Timeout Upgrade. Digby has also sent their finest hunters to Furoma to collect a stock of parts which they plan to sell at the Harbour General store later this month (when they have collected enough to stock the shelves). These parts don't come cheap, so if you're up for a challenge and want to save a few gold coins, try testing your hunting vigor and catch a Dojo Sensei to obtain a Timeout Upgrade for free!</p>

| + | ==== Rainbow Treasure Maps ==== |
| | | | |
| − | <p>'''Valentines from a Glitchpaw'''</p>
| + | Inside the King's Vault, hunters may have the option to select a Rainbow Scroll Case as one possible reward. This bright and colourful case contains a lengthy treasure map, which usually allows for six hunters to participate. However, hunters can upgrade their Rainbow Scroll Cases into a PARTY SIZE version by visiting the King's Arms or King's Cart. The exchange costs a regular Rainbow Scroll Case, 1 Rare Map Dust, and 50 Magic Essence. This jumbo scroll contains the same massive map, but allows for '''10 hunters''' to participate! |
| | | | |
| − | <p>The Nannybot seemed to attract a few Glitchpaw mice to the party causing a few hunters to be given a "Valentine from the Devs" upon constructing their Nannybots. Unfortunately, these valentines were printed on a strange, extremely bio-degradable paper and have now crumbled to dust. If you had a valentine courtesy of a Glitchpaw, it has been removed from your inventory. Don't worry though, we devs still love you! <3</p>
| + | Whether you take on a regular or party size map they'll both lead to the same Rainbow Treasure Chest rewarding Gold, Points, Ancient Charms, Rainbow Charms, King's Credits, and more! |
| | | | |
| − | ----
| + | Not interested in completing such a huge map? Rainbow Treasure Maps can be completed at any time by claiming a consolation prize for a portion of the Points, Gold, and Ancient Charms based on the number of mice captured. |

| + | ==== A Reminder About Bonus Hunts ==== |
| | + | Bonus hunts do not affect area progression, consume cheese or charms, or trigger special hunting effects and abilities. This means bonus hunts will not do things such as move your submarine forward in the Sunken City, advance your position in the Valour Rift, affect rage levels in Whisker Woods Rift, etc. |
| | | | |
| − | <p>Added Bulletin:</p>
| + | The "special" bonuses '''specifically''' provided by your trap, base, charm, and aura(s) (not area bonuses like the Furoma Rift Droid) are taken into account as expected when encountering a mouse on a bonus hunt. |
| | | | |
| − | <p>- Rockstar mice have now been spotted in Digby, the training grounds and around Cape Clawed!</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>- A new special plush has been introduced into the game to commemorate MouseHunts second birthday!</p>

| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>It has been such a journey for us here at HitGrab. We opened the game to all of facebook 2 years ago with what people thought was a silly idea. The first year was such an incredible journey, our team slept very little as we dealt with all the challenges that came with keeping the servers running and adding content. </p>

| − | <p>2 years later we have almost 500 000 people joining us every month with around 175 000 coming back each day. We are blessed to be doing this still and I am blown away by how fast time flies when you are having fun. We here at HitGrab have been lucky in that you, our audience has actively engaged with us and helped us build this game. </p>

| |
| − | ''{{date|5|March|2010}}''
| |
| − | <blockquote>
| |
| − | <p>Happy Birthday, MouseHunters!</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>It was a blast hanging out with hunters in a party-like atmosphere this week during Feedback Friday! We shared some digital cake, did some dancing and answered questions! Many hunters requested a quick summary like the one we posted last week. I'll break down the details below.</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>'''What's coming this month:'''</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>Gifts! The King is expecting a shipment of gifts and cake to arrive soon for the birthday party! The Terrible Twos mice are sure to have a love for presents and cake... I have a feeling the King may require his hunters to keep Terrible Twos mice under control.</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>There have been a few rare reports of Terrible Twos mice lurking around the Training Grounds. Larry has knowledge of a very old mouse, rumored to be more powerful than the Master of the Dojo, and is scared that the antics of the Terrible Twos mouse may awaken it. If you're in the Furoma region, have your traps ready!</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>If the Terrible Twos mouse continues to travel, who knows what powerful, sleeping mice he may awaken... Hope you're up for a challenge, hunters! These new mice will be permanent additions to the game, so if you're not quite ready to take them on they'll still be around when you are!</p>

| |
| − | <p>'''Player frustrations about releases:'''</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>Feedback Friday opened with Bryan addressing some points of frustration regarding the lack of new releases to expand the plot of the game. As the game has continued to grow for two years, adding new mouse areas and other content, and as more and more players joined, the hunt has become more cumbersome. It was clear that some major architecture changes needed to happen to accommodate the game’s growth. For the past six months, we have been focused on "Longtail" - a major rewrite of the entire game, from scratch. As you can imagine, rebuilding something that has been developed for two years, from scratch, is a very large project.</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>During the development of Longtail, adding content and features to the existing game became a challenge -- new content and features now needed to be added to two versions of the game, doubling the work. This is how much of the content and story being prepared came to be dependent on the release of Longtail.</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>We're excited to release Longtail and get back to expanding the story line of MouseHunt and adding new areas, mice, traps, etc. Once Longtail is out, we are planning to have a regularly scheduled day for content updates. The number of veteran players in the game has grown in the past six months, and we absolutely plan on releasing more areas for Knights, Barons, Counts, etc.</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>'''Longtail:'''</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>Longtail is getting closer and closer to being complete and we're getting very excited! Many of our plans for new mice, areas, traps, etc. are dependent on the release of Longtail. We asked hunters what sort of info they would like to see in progress updates. The consensus seemed to be mechanics information but no plot information.</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>We realise that we have not discussed too many details about the progress of Longtail, which has no doubt bred frustrations from players wondering what's happening behind the scenes and why there was a sudden slow down in the frequency of updates. We knew Longtail would be in development for months and wanted to avoid building too much hype too early on and stretch the patience of hunters. Now that we are close to a Longtail release we are more comfortable sharing progress updates and will strive to keep everyone in the loop as we work on Longtail.</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>We'll be keeping everyone in the loop about how Longtail is progressing, to hopefully ease frustrations about the lack of new areas recently. We have several new areas and mice (over 50 mice are ready to go!) that we're excited to put out after the release of Longtail.</p>

| + | __NOEDITSECTION__ |
| − | <blockquote>
| |
| − | <p>Greetings, MouseHunters!</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>It's that time of year again, when spring is just around the corner, and MouseHunt celebrates another birthday! That's right: the magical world of Gnawnia is celebrating its second birthday, and to celebrate, there will be special content releases, one each week for the next four weeks. The first release will be a birthday event that lasts for a limited time, and the other three releases will stay on as permanent additions to the game. </p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>This week, the Terrible Twos Mouse is wreaking havoc, trashing the town of Gnawnia and creating mayhem wherever it goes. Upon discovering this threat, the King immediately sent word to Digby, telling them to send a fleet of Nannybots, the only weapon known to be able to subdue a rampaging Terrible Twos Mouse. Unfortunately, a group of mice ambushed the Nannybot shipment on their way to Gnawnia! Rumor has it that Nannybot parts have been seen on various mice in the back alleys of the city.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>Once you have collected all three parts of the Nannybot you may assemble them here: [http://apps.facebook.com/mousehunt/nannybot.php apps.facebook.com/mousehunt/nannybot.php]</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>The King's guards managed to push the Terrible Twos Mice out onto the Meadow, but the King needs all the help he can get from skilled hunters to keep the little terrors at bay. The Terrible Twos Mouse is in the Meadow for now, but the guards think that if it can't go back into the city, it may well decide to do some traveling. This could mean serious trouble for the rest of the Kingdom!</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>Well, that's all the news for now. Until next time, Happy Hunting!</p>
