<p>Any chance you could investigate into Chua yu zhan's mousehunt account? his activity in mousehunt has been very suspicious. He has been sounding the horn for a few days straight exactly every 15 minutes without fail. Basically 24 hours non-stop for the past few days before 24th April 2009. Except for once in a while he would go check and travel or buy cheese. other than that he is always sounding the horn I suspect he is using a bot as no one can possibly do this without the help of a bot. please look into this. And possibly ban his account. thx.</p>

<blockquote>
−
<p>Hi MouseHunters,</p>
 
−
 
−
<p>We released an update today that has been unpopular with some of our players. We always listen and want to address some of your concerns.</p>
 
−
 
−
<p>We want to make clear the reasons for the changes so we can better work together to find a solution that everyone can be happy with.</p>
 
−
 
−
<p>Some players are upset that the +7 luck bonus of the lucky shield gives too great of an advantage to donators. This is our own fault for never fully explaining how luck works. Luck is the least important stat your trap has and only provides a very small occasional boost to help catch mice. Seven luck on average equates to about one less miss a day. Luck also boosts your ability to get loot in a very small way. Traps with around 20 luck will increase your odds by less than 2% for most items in the game.</p>
 
  
−
<p>If you play for free it is because someone else is not and we wanted to give a small, unique token of thanks to those who allow hundreds of thousands of players to play MouseHunt for free everyday.</p>

<p>People who donate by completing offers will also now be rewarded with a Lucky Golden Shield. This should allow people who are not able to donate via PayPal to receive the shield.</p>

CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
−
<p>The trade request system was starting to become unbalanced. The buyer's section was almost pointless, full of posts that were never responded to. Players would have to reply to dozens of posts to try and scrape together enough sellers to meet their needs. These problems all stem from the root cause that SUPER|brie+ is worth more than 1,000 gold a piece to a majority of players. One of our most requested changes has been to remove the price cap on SUPER|brie+ in trade requests. We remind everyone that 10,000 is not the minimum but rather the maximum. We tried to pick a number that we know no one would ever buy for. We in no way are trying to make a piece worth 10,000. That number is merely in place to avoid errors and scams.</p>

CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
−
<p>Finally, we apologize for the oversight of the many board competitions when introducing a limit on how much gold a player can send to friends. The generosity and inclusiveness of the community is the most important factor in the success of mousehunt. By attempting to add some checks to prevent scams we inadvertently punished those generous people who are active in the community. This is major oversight by us and we are immediately reversing the changes to the supply transfer system. We are removing the transfer limit and returning the tax rate to its original value.</p>
+
-- {{MHP|POSTER SNUID|POSTER NAME}}
  
−
<p>With the cap on SUPER|brie+ removed we are confident that the amount of players abusing the give to friends feature will fall dramatically.</p>
+
----
  
−
<p>MouseHunt started as a very simple game where there were no locations, special types of cheese or trading. As more rich content and strategy is added to the game it is sometimes necessary to rebalance some of the core features of the game. We apologize for the oversights we made while making these changes and any stress they may have caused. At times it may hurt, but the vocalness of the community is a great asset to the game. We appreciate everyones feedback and look forward to continuing to making mousehunt the best it can be.</p>

<p>On the topic of the SB+ trading cap increase our intention was to basically remove the cap and allow SB+ to find it's own fair market value. The 10,000 per piece limit is only in place to prevent players from moving large amounts of gold by trading a single piece of cheese. The price will come down as sellers realize what constitutes as a fair price.</p>

'''Strange footprints in Whisker Woods
+
So after losing his tenure at the School of Sorcery, this malevolent mastermind took it upon himself to dig up the very essence of fear and destruction in the minds and hearts of Gnawnians: dragons!
  
−
<p>With the scent of Gnarled cheese in the air some hunters have reported strange happenings in Whisker Woods. Slightly dampened foot prints have been spotted around the tree heading to the west. The King dispatched hunters to investigate only to have them returned with their courage crippled by what they described only as a winged terror.</p>
+
The King is now calling upon all MouseHunters ranked Viceroy and above to travel to the new '''Draconic Depths''' and stop this invasion before it takes flight.

The '''Tale of the First Dragons''' map piece can be purchased from the School of Sorcery Cartographer for '''1,000,000 Gold''', '''1,000 Sorcerer's Sapphires''', and requires completion of the Become a Master Sorcerer adventure for any hunters who have yet to obtain it.

The Trapsmith at the Draconic Depths is well prepared to aid the MouseHunters of Gnawnia in their daunting task to descend into this dangerous den of dragons!

<p>Ever wish there was something you could do to help maximize your odds of finding a map piece, potion or other rare drop? The latest research by the King's diligent Royal Trapsmith has revealed that luck now provides a small boost to a hunter's chance to receive loot when catching a mouse.</p>

<p>Word has come from the King that any hunter that gives a donation to the MouseHunt kingdom will not only receive SUPER|brie+ but also be granted a special lucky shield for the following 30 days, which will add 7 luck to your trap! This golden shield will appear instead of the grey MouseHunt logo in the top left of the game as well as be displayed on their profile. The world of MouseHunt would not exist if it were not for the generous support of our players. We wanted to give something unique to everyone who supports the game and help us cover our operational costs.</p>

<p>The King has raised the 1,000 gold per piece cap on SUPER|brie+ to 10,000 gold per piece but has also increased the tax rate to 20% for both trade requests and gold transfers. This change is to help keep balance as the game progresses and to help players put their gold to better use.</p>

<center>A powerful alternative for hunters without a Dragon Slayer Cannon</center>
  
−
<p>A new limit for giving gold to friends has also been introduced. A hunter can transfer no more than 30,000 gold to other players every 24 hours. For example if you send two of your friends 15,000 gold each you will be unable to send anyone else gold for 24 hours. This new rule is to discourage players from using the give supplies page for trading purposes and reduce the number of players who are victims of dishonest players trying to scam gold. This change will help reduce the thousands support emails we receive to help us concentrate our time on developing new content for the game. We find that 30,000 gold is a healthy amount to help along new players.</p>

=== Trap Check Fix ===
 
−
''{{date|15|April|2009}}''
 
−
<blockquote>
 
−
<p>We have just applied an update that completely re-engineers the way trap checks work.</p>
 
  
−
<p>In our old system we were no longer able to generate 24 trap checks per day due to the large number of players we have now reached. Writing all the journals, awarding points, gold and loot creates a lot of database activity that slowly but surely adds up and brings things to a crawl.</p>

−
<p>The new system now in place generates trap checks much more passively to spread the load more evenly. This new method of handling trap checks has also allowed us to once again give a trap check every hour on the hour.</p>
+
<center>The ultimate upgrade to the Chrome Dragon Slayer Cannon!</center>
  
−
<p>Please keep in mind that due to the urgency of this update we did not submit through our usual vigorous and lengthy of testing as we do for most of our updates. If a few hiccups occur here and there please rest assured we'll be hard at work to iron out the kinks.</p>

<blockquote>

<p>Trap checks are currently very broken. Despite our best efforts to find a solution this problem persists. The entire team is brainstorming ideas on how we can restructure the way trap checks work because the current implementation is not capable of providing trap checks to the amount of players who play everyday.</p>

<p>We may have to rebuild the trap check system from scratch which may take some time. We'll keep you posted as we continue to work on solving this problem.</p>

In the Draconic Depths, Baitkeep Charms have a 50% chance of activating and saving your bait when used. However, whenever they don't activate, the charm '''will not''' be consumed, keeping it intact for the next hunt.

__NOEDITSECTION__

<blockquote>
 
−
<p>It has come to our attention that some browser scripts/plugins that are designed to integrate MouseHunt player statistics into the discussion board are making undo requests to the game.</p>
 
−
 
 
−
<p>These extra requests happen behind the scenes loading MouseHunt pages to grab the necessary data. The problem is that this extra activity triggers King's Reward codes without the player ever seeing them.</p>
 
−
 
 
−
<p>This leads to a few problems where players have an unclaimed reward without ever knowing it and strange errors due to the massive amount of requests all coming from the same address.</p>
 
−
 
 
−
<p>The extra requests also massively boost how active the game thinks you are. This triggers some of our bot-detection and tracking systems.</p>
 
−
 
 
−
<p>We are working on fine-tuning our bot tracking systems as well as working with the developers of these types of scripts so that do not trigger our tracking systems. In the meantime we kindly ask any players who are using any sort of script or plugin that modifies the Facebook discussion boards to add MouseHunt statistics to uninstall them immediately.</p>
 
−
 
 
−
<p>To make things clear: If you have installed or use anything that modifies the way Facebook discussion boards look or function please uninstall them.</p>
 
−
 
 
−
<p>This will avoid your account being falsely flagged for bot usage as well as save countless requests to our server to help to make the game quicker and more responsive for everyone!</p>

<p>We are able to use tracking methods within the game to distinguish players from bots and have already disabled dozens of accounts. Some of these accounts had large amounts of points and gold, do not risk losing your progress in the game!</p>

<p>Anything that clicks, refreshes a page or takes any other action in the game via an automated process will trigger these tracking methods.

<p>Hello MouseHunt communit-tay!</p>

<p>As many of you are aware, trap checks have not been functioning correctly for quite some time. The problem is proving to be challenging to solve without changing some fundamental gameplay elements that contribute to the passive nature of the game.</p>

<p>This issue is a priority for us and we can only ask for your patience while we work on a solution.</p>

<p>How else can you help us? Well as every seasoned MouseHunter knows all of life's problems can be blamed on the dreaded Glitchpaw mouse and it's about time we fought back with traps! So grab your best trap and be on the lookout for any Glitchpaw mice that come your way. Every one caught is sure to help!</p>

The Draconic Depths has Surfaced!

13 August 2024

Viceroy hunters and above can now embark on a new adventure.
A new area has released in the Folklore Forest!

The Draconic Depths has Surfaced!

Thanks to Ronza's tireless efforts, the Mythweaver's latest plot has been discovered and it is unfolding beneath our very feet.

Instead of invading a world of fantasy yet again, this time the Mythweaver plans to invade the world with fantasy!

So after losing his tenure at the School of Sorcery, this malevolent mastermind took it upon himself to dig up the very essence of fear and destruction in the minds and hearts of Gnawnians: dragons!

The King is now calling upon all MouseHunters ranked Viceroy and above to travel to the new Draconic Depths and stop this invasion before it takes flight.

Prepare for your Descent

The Tale of the First Dragons map piece can be purchased from the School of Sorcery Cartographer for 1,000,000 Gold, 1,000 Sorcerer's Sapphires, and requires completion of the Become a Master Sorcerer adventure for any hunters who have yet to obtain it.

Seismic effects on Baitkeep Charms

The intense seismic activity within the Draconic Depths has an effect on Baitkeep Charms when they're used within the Draconic Depths.

In the Draconic Depths, Baitkeep Charms have a 50% chance of activating and saving your bait when used. However, whenever they don't activate, the charm will not be consumed, keeping it intact for the next hunt.

Here Be Dragons!
