=== Today's Updates ===
 
−
''{{date|22|April|2009}}''
 
−
<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>
 
−
 
−
<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>
 
−
 
−
<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>

=== Transfer Limit Increase ===
 
−
''{{date|22|April|2009}}''
 
−
<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>
 
−
 
−
<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
 
−
 
−
<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>
 
−
 
−
-------------------------

−
'''Luck changes and new lucky shields
 
−
 
−
<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>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>
 
−
 
−
-------------------------
 
−
 
−
'''Changes to trading and giving to friends
 
−
 
−
<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>
 
  
−
<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>

===Trap Check Update===
 
−
''{{date|13|April|2009}}''
 
 
<blockquote>
 
<blockquote>
−
<p>Hello MouseHunters!</p>
 
  
−
<p>Our number one priority is fixing trap checks and we have been brainstorming for the past day or so on how we can completely re-engineer.</p>
+
'''Eggsperience The Thrill of Egg Hunting!'''<br>
 +
Eggs, Eggs, Eggs, Galore!
  
−
<p>We have come up with a solution that looks very promising to not only restore trap checks to what they were but also ensure that as more and more players join the game we can continue to deliver reliable trap checks.</p>
+
==== Spring Forward into another Egg-Packed Season! ====
 +
One of the most time-honoured events has returned to the Kingdom of Gnawnia! Lady Laura is back to grace the Kingdom with her culinary concoction Chocolatonium, the purest form of chocolate. Endulge in Eggstra Fondue, find eggs old & new. There is an abundance of things to find in the Spring Egg Hunt!
  
−
<p>We are now hard at work developing this solution to get it into testing as soon as possible.</p>
+
To get started, you'll need a special egg-finding piece of equipment: the Eggscavator. If you do not already own one, you can claim one for free from the Spring Egg Hunt heads-up display to start your eggsceptional season!
  
−
<p>Thanks for your ungoing patience and support.</p>
+
==== Spring Mice and Spring Eggs ====
  
−
<p>We'll keep you posted as we progress.</p>
+
The Chocolatonium has driven the spring event mice into such a frenzy that you can find these mice '''EVERYWHERE''' in the Kingdom! They're so abundant that you do not need special cheese to attract them. In fact, you don't need any cheese at all!

===Trap checks are broken===
 
−
''{{date|10|April|2009}}''
 
−
<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>
+
The spring event mice '''all come exclusively from bonus hunts''' meaning they'll occasionally wander into your trap without consuming cheese or charms and without affecting any area gameplay progression. The spring mice will always drop Chocolatonium when caught.

=== Gnarly Rumors ===
+
==== Eggstra Fondue: A Returning Decadent Delight! ====  
−
''{{date|9|April|2009}}''
+
Eggstra Fondue returns! Activated through the event interface, this luxurious fondue produces Chocolatonium, doubles any eggs dropped, and produces extra Chocolatonium for each egg looted! When paired with the Chocolate Bar Base, it has the rare chance to triple the eggs dropped instead of just doubling them.
−
<blockquote>
 
−
<p>Rumors are afloat in the Calm Clearing of Whisker Woods! Word has spread of strange pathways, lined with sparkling fairy dust, that lead deeper into the woods.</p>
 
  
−
<p>The dense canopy of the woods keeps the winding pathways rather dark, making them hard to navigate. Surely a hunter will need some sort of guide to find their way through!</p>
+
'''Return the Chocolatonium to Lady Laura to unlock the shelves in her Chocolate Shop''' and she'll show her gratitude by presenting you with special one-time rewards for unlocking each shelf. Once a shelf has been unlocked, you'll be able to purchase the items on that shelf with Chocolatonium anytime during the event.
  
−
<p>Good luck investigating these rumors, hunters...</p>
+
==== New Eggs, New Eggs! ====
 +
There are 11 new eggs for you to find located in the Folklore Forest! Can you collect them all for their bonus loot? Remember, you'll need your trusty Eggscavator to find them so make sure you pick one up before you head out! You can also view all the eggs in the Area Eggs tab within the Eggscavator interface.

==== Something New: Scavenger-Style Egg Hunts! ====
 +
This year Lady Laura is selling '''four''' new Scroll Cases that when opened will begin a Scavenger Hunt style hunt for specific eggs! You and up to five other hunters can embark on these special egg hunts to find Treasure Chests loaded with eggciting loot! Find Eggsweeper Shovels, Magical Eggsweeper Fertilizer, Eggstra Fondue, and all kinds of resources and loot to help your hunting endeavours!

−
<p>- Some optimizations and better tracking reports for the trap check system.</p>
+
As you unlock more shelves at Lady Laura's Shop you'll gain access to more difficult Egg Hunt Scroll Cases requiring increasingly higher title requirements.
  
−
<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>
+
==== The Eggsweeper Mini-Game Has Returned! ====
  
−
<p>- We have fine-tuned our bot detection scripts so that non-malicious scripts will not trigger our pattern tracking. We remind players that anything that automatically refreshes or loads a page violates the game's rules and is not to be used.</p>
+
'''HOW TO PLAY:''' There are 10 eggs hidden somewhere in the field and you need to reveal them all to earn rank-specific rewards! Each tile you reveal costs 1 Eggsweeper Shovel. When you reveal a tile, you will either be shown a number or an egg. The number shown is a clue representing how many eggs are hidden in nearby tiles (diagonals included). If you reveal an egg, you get a special Eggsweeper Egg added to your inventory based on your hunter title.
  
−
<hr/>
+
These eggs will contain loot appropriate for areas in the Kingdom tied to hunter ranks. This year, the Tier 5 Eggsweeper egg has been updated to '''only''' contain loot for Archduke/ Archduchess hunter ranks. A new Tier 6 Eggsweeper egg has been introduced which contains loot for Viceroy and up hunters!
  
−
<p>We would also like to remind everyone that the boards are meant as a fun and friendly atmosphere. We get swamped with complaints regarding swearing, insulting, etc. We are beginning to crack down on inappropriate behaviour on the boards so please think before you post.</p>
+
Interested in lower tiers of loot? Your Hunter's Hammer can be used to carefully chip a layer off an egg to downgrade it a tier. Just remember to swing extra carefully!

=== Forum 'Enhancer' Scripts ===

For even more eggstraordinary rewards, dust your Eggsweeper field with Magical Fertilizer before you start the mini-game! All the eggs found in a fertilized field will eggsplode with even more amazing loot!

<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>
+
==== Supplies and Eggcessories ====

The King has assembled this eggsquisite collection of bundles and kits to help you find the most eggs and the most Chocolatonium!

<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>

Chocolatonium, while purely delicious, has a highly unstable atomic structure and therefore only has a very short half-life. Any pure Chocolatonium exposed to the open air will undergo radioactive decay after only four weeks and even when it's properly contained within a hunter's inventory, it will only last an additional two weeks.
  
−
<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>
+
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; padding: 0.416em">As of '''April 29''', mice will no longer drop Chocolatonium and eggs will no longer be found in the Kingdom.
  
−
<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>
+
As of '''May 6''', any Chocolatonium that remains in a hunter's inventory will decay into nothingness and the Eggsweeper Game will close.

<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 Spring Egg Hunt Has Begun!

1 April 2025

Eggsperience The Thrill of Egg Hunting!
Eggs, Eggs, Eggs, Galore!

Spring Forward into another Egg-Packed Season!

One of the most time-honoured events has returned to the Kingdom of Gnawnia! Lady Laura is back to grace the Kingdom with her culinary concoction Chocolatonium, the purest form of chocolate. Endulge in Eggstra Fondue, find eggs old & new. There is an abundance of things to find in the Spring Egg Hunt!

To get started, you'll need a special egg-finding piece of equipment: the Eggscavator. If you do not already own one, you can claim one for free from the Spring Egg Hunt heads-up display to start your eggsceptional season!

Spring Mice and Spring Eggs

The Chocolatonium has driven the spring event mice into such a frenzy that you can find these mice EVERYWHERE in the Kingdom! They're so abundant that you do not need special cheese to attract them. In fact, you don't need any cheese at all!


The spring event mice all come exclusively from bonus hunts meaning they'll occasionally wander into your trap without consuming cheese or charms and without affecting any area gameplay progression. The spring mice will always drop Chocolatonium when caught.

Eggstra Fondue: A Returning Decadent Delight!

Eggstra Fondue returns! Activated through the event interface, this luxurious fondue produces Chocolatonium, doubles any eggs dropped, and produces extra Chocolatonium for each egg looted! When paired with the Chocolate Bar Base, it has the rare chance to triple the eggs dropped instead of just doubling them.

Return the Chocolatonium to Lady Laura to unlock the shelves in her Chocolate Shop and she'll show her gratitude by presenting you with special one-time rewards for unlocking each shelf. Once a shelf has been unlocked, you'll be able to purchase the items on that shelf with Chocolatonium anytime during the event.

New Eggs, New Eggs!

There are 11 new eggs for you to find located in the Folklore Forest! Can you collect them all for their bonus loot? Remember, you'll need your trusty Eggscavator to find them so make sure you pick one up before you head out! You can also view all the eggs in the Area Eggs tab within the Eggscavator interface.

Here's a preview of some new eggs you can find:

M1000 Egg Mythical Master
Sorcerer Egg 		Mythical Dragon
Emperor Egg

Something New: Scavenger-Style Egg Hunts!

This year Lady Laura is selling four new Scroll Cases that when opened will begin a Scavenger Hunt style hunt for specific eggs! You and up to five other hunters can embark on these special egg hunts to find Treasure Chests loaded with eggciting loot! Find Eggsweeper Shovels, Magical Eggsweeper Fertilizer, Eggstra Fondue, and all kinds of resources and loot to help your hunting endeavours!

Over Easy contains 15
eggs from Novice to
Knight locations 		Over Medium contains
20 eggs from
Lord/Lady to
Count/Countess
locations 		Over Hard contains 25
eggs from
Duke/Duchess to
Archduke/Archduchess
locations 		Eggstreme contains 40
eggs from Grand Duke
and up locations!

As you unlock more shelves at Lady Laura's Shop you'll gain access to more difficult Egg Hunt Scroll Cases requiring increasingly higher title requirements.

The Eggsweeper Mini-Game Has Returned!

HOW TO PLAY: There are 10 eggs hidden somewhere in the field and you need to reveal them all to earn rank-specific rewards! Each tile you reveal costs 1 Eggsweeper Shovel. When you reveal a tile, you will either be shown a number or an egg. The number shown is a clue representing how many eggs are hidden in nearby tiles (diagonals included). If you reveal an egg, you get a special Eggsweeper Egg added to your inventory based on your hunter title.

These eggs will contain loot appropriate for areas in the Kingdom tied to hunter ranks. This year, the Tier 5 Eggsweeper egg has been updated to only contain loot for Archduke/ Archduchess hunter ranks. A new Tier 6 Eggsweeper egg has been introduced which contains loot for Viceroy and up hunters!

Interested in lower tiers of loot? Your Hunter's Hammer can be used to carefully chip a layer off an egg to downgrade it a tier. Just remember to swing extra carefully!

For even more eggstraordinary rewards, dust your Eggsweeper field with Magical Fertilizer before you start the mini-game! All the eggs found in a fertilized field will eggsplode with even more amazing loot!

Supplies and Eggcessories

The King has assembled this eggsquisite collection of bundles and kits to help you find the most eggs and the most Chocolatonium!

Eggstreme Hunting Bundle
An Eggstreme Deal! (Limit 3) 		Spring Hunt Decorative Bundle
Four New Skins! (Limit 1)
Spring Hunt Gardener Bundle
Can You Dig It? (Limit 3) 		Large Eggstravagant Supply Kit
A Bundle of Eggstravagance!
25 Eggstra Fondue
Double Eggs and Chocolatonium! 		100 Eggstra Fondue
Double Even More Eggs!
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE:

Chocolatonium, while purely delicious, has a highly unstable atomic structure and therefore only has a very short half-life. Any pure Chocolatonium exposed to the open air will undergo radioactive decay after only four weeks and even when it's properly contained within a hunter's inventory, it will only last an additional two weeks.

As of April 29, mice will no longer drop Chocolatonium and eggs will no longer be found in the Kingdom.

As of May 6, any Chocolatonium that remains in a hunter's inventory will decay into nothingness and the Eggsweeper Game will close.

Make sure to spend it all at the Chocolate Shop while you can!
