| − | <p>Any chance you could investigate into Chua yu zhan's mousehunt account? his ativity in moushehunt 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. 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>

| |
| − | ''{{date|22|April|2009}}''
| |
| | <blockquote> | | <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>
| + | ==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 1 ==== |
| | + | CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH |
| | | | |
| − | <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>
| + | ==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 2 ==== |
| | + | CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH |
| | | | |
| − | <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>
| + | ==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 3 ==== |
| | + | CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH |
| | | | |
| − | <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>
| + | -- {{MHP|POSTER SNUID|POSTER NAME}} |
| | | | |
| − | <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>
| + | ---- |
| | | | |
| − | <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> | + | </blockquote> --> |

| | + | === [{{MHdomain}}/newspost.php?news_post_id=989 Write the Mythweaver's finale at the Conclusion Cliffs!] === |
| | + | ''{{date|13|January|2026}}'' |
| | | | |
| − | <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>
| + | '''Embark upon the epic finale to the Folklore Forest.'''<br> |
| | + | Explore the Conclusion Cliffs and defeat the Ultimate Mythweaver! |
| | | | |
| − | <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>

| − | === Transfer Limit Increase ===
| |
| − | ''{{date|22|April|2009}}''
| |
| | <blockquote> | | <blockquote> |
| − | <p>We have just increased the new restriction on gold transfers from 30,000 gold every 24 hours to 250,000 gold every 12 hours.</p>
| |
| | | | |
| − | <p>The give gold function is the most abused feature of the game by dishonest players. The ability to give endless gold also introduces imbalances of newer players with wealthy friends skyrocketing through the game much quicker than intended.</p>
| + | ==== Write the Mythweaver's finale at the Conclusion Cliffs! ==== |
| | + | After months of Fighting the Blight and Riding the Rapids, the brave and resilient MouseHunters of Gnawnia have finally discovered the final step in the Mythweaver's ultimate plan. |
| | | | |
| − | <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>
| + | The Mythweaver is making his last stand at the peak of the '''Conclusion Cliffs''' overlooking the Kingdom. |

| − | === New Map, Lucky Shields and Trade Changes ===
| + | The King is calling upon all hunters ranked '''Viceroy and above''' to ascend to that great precipice with their trusty droids and conclude the Mythweaver's story once and for all! |
| − | ''{{date|22|April|2009}}'' | |

| − | '''Strange footprints in Whisker Woods | + | ==== The Folklore Forest Ends Here ==== |
| | + | If you haven't already picked up the '''Mythweaver's Guide to World Domination''' then visit the '''Draconic Depths Cartographer''' to purchase it for 2,000 Dragon's Breath Opals and 1,000,000 Gold. |
| | | | |
| − | <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>
| + | Owning this book will unlock access to the Afterword Acres, Epilogue Falls, and Conclusion Cliffs. |
| | | | |
| − | -------------------------
| + | ==== Every Good Story Needs a Hook ==== |
| | + | Use the '''Plot Hooks''' you earned in the Epilogue Falls to craft '''Plotting Paneer Cheese''' which will be essential to thwarting the Mythweaver's final plan. |
| | | | |
| − | '''Luck changes and new lucky shields | + | This pivotal and powerful cheese can be purchased in the Cheese Shoppe at the Conclusion Cliffs or crafted from the area's Heads Up Display. |
| | | | |
| − | <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>
| + | With Plotting Paneer armed, your droids will have what they need to start writing a conclusion to the Mythweaver's story. |
| | | | |
| − | <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>
| + | ==== Raise Your Authorial Reputation ==== |
| | + | In order to find the Mythweaver in his final form, you'll need to establish yourself as a successful writer by raising your '''Notoriety''' in all the major literary genres. |
| | | | |
| − | <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>
| + | Once your Notoriety is high enough, you'll be capable of writing the most awe-inspiring genre of all: '''Fantasy'''. |
| | | | |
| − | -------------------------
| + | Fantasy is the only genre powerful enough to attract the '''Ultimate Mythweaver''' himself! |
| | | | |
| − | '''Changes to trading and giving to friends
| + | ==== A New Trapsmith at the edge of the Cliffs ==== |
| | + | A new Trapsmith has set up shop in the Conclusion Cliffs with unique and powerful items to aid your adventure. |
| | | | |
| − | <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> | + | {| style="width: 66%; margin: auto; border-spacing: 1em; text-align: 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>

| | | | |
| − | <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>Trap checks are currently very broken. Despite our best efforts to find a solution this problem persists.

| − | <p>- Some players noticed a reference to 'Hunting Parties' on their profile pages for a few minutes after we applied the update. That text was accidently added to this release. Parties are something we're working on for the near future and is not quite ready yet. We'll have more information as this feature gets closer to release.</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>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>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>
