<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>

CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
−
<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>

CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
−
<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>

==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 3 ====
 +
CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
−
<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>For those who have donated before this update we will be giving a shield to anyone who has ever donated and been active in the last 30 days.</p>

Twice as many hunters per map for the next two weeks!</div>
  
−
<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>
 
−
 
−
<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>
 
<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>
+
==== The Treasure Map Mega Party has Started! ====
 +
A brand new mini-event has just begun in the Kingdom of Gnawnia: the '''Treasure Map Mega Party'''!
  
−
<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>
+
For the next '''two weeks''', Treasure Maps can now hold '''TWICE''' as many hunters, up to a maximum of '''10'''!
  
−
<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>
+
This applies to all Treasure Maps except Solo Maps and Wanted Posters.
  
−
<p>Happy hunting (with trap checks too)!</p>
+
So gather twice as many map mates and get the mega party started!

<p>Some players were also noticing some journal entries appearing blank with only the time-stamp and mouse picture. We've isolated the problem and it will be fixed in when we apply the next update.</p>

'''A new goal for the Relic Hunter Mouse'''
 +

 +
After ten seasons, the Relic Hunter Mouse has finally collected enough Ancient Relics from hunters that she can now begin her archaeological research into the true origin of mice in Gnawnia and why they came here.
  
−
===Trap Check Update===
+
She can still be found traveling around the Kingdom each day while she conducts her research but she will no longer steal Ancient Relics from hunters. Now when a Relic Hunter Mouse is caught, hunters can loot Ancient Relics from her, recovering some of what she had stolen over the years.

<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>
