<p>Hello Everyone!</p>
 
 
<p>This is an announcement to let you all know that we will be banning accounts, without warning, that we detect are using any kind of automated method to play the game.</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. Timers are fine so long as they do not sound the horn at the end of their timer and still require you to be at your computer and click something to actually sound the horn.</p>
 
 
<p>To clarify and reiterate...</p>
 
 
<p>Anything that will play the game on its own while you are not at your computer constitutes as using a "bot" and will get you banned.</p>
 
 
<p>The MH Toolbar is okay to use.</p>
 
 
<p>Thank you.</p>

===Trap Check Info===
 
''{{date|1|April|2009}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
<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>

===New Region, Mice and More!===
 
''{{date|31|March|2009}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
<p>Strange happenings have been afoot in Gnawnia! Nomadic mice have been spotted in the trees west of the Meadow while some hunters have heard rumors of a strange rock within the forest.</p>
 
 
<p>For the longest time the King has not recognized Whisker Woods as a hunting grounds but with word of this strange rock's appearance he has once again become eager to expand the hunt! This new region is home to all sorts of exotic mice, with a variety of areas to hunt in to give new challenges to Journeyman hunters and above!</p>
 
 
<hr />
 
 
<p>Enjoy discovering and exploring this new region filled with all-new mice! These new areas were designed as a separate path to follow and act as a decision for new hunters regarding what direction to head in when they reach the title of Journeyman.</p>
 
 
<p>In other update news...</p>
 
 
<p>This update has also served to remedy some problems hunters with 1,000+ friends were having when sounding the horn, using the travel page or giving supplies to friends. We have also added some massive optimizations to help things run smoother behind-the-scenes.</p>
 
 
<p>Trap checks have been slightly modified in the way they work. Whenever the game awards you a random trap check it will also check when your last check was. If your last trap check was beyond a certain threshold you will receive more than one trap check at the same time. This means that occasionally you may notice that you receive two or three simultaneous trap checks. *phew* I used the word check a lot there!</p>
 
 
<p>I posted deleted and posted this again to fix a typo. I never seem to spot them all however!</p>
 
 
<p>Happy hunting!</p>
