<p>Hey hunters,</p>
 
  
<p>It seems the Glitchpaw Mice were eager to celebrate our fourth birthday and crashed the party, resulting in a hefty amount of downtime just as the party was coming to a climax. Once the Glitchpaw invasion was discovered, the team worked for hours to isolate the problem.</p>
+
==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 1 ====
 +
CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
<p>Unfortunately the aftermath of this Glitchpaw attack was hunters inventories being a little jumbled and gold, points and progress stats to be drastically lowered. After diagnosing the problem and exhausting all other options, we determined that a rollback was necessary.</p>
+
==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 2 ====
 +
CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
<p>This means that the game state and the stats of all hunters were reverted to an earlier state. Anything done in-game between 12am GMT to 6am GMT was restored to the state they were at 12am GMT.</p>
+
==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 3 ====
 +
CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
<p>For example: If you spent 1,000 gold on a trap or marketplace item during the effected time, it will be as if it never happened, meaning you do not have the trap or item and still have your 1,000 gold.</p>
+
-- {{MHP|POSTER SNUID|POSTER NAME}}
  
<p>We realize a rollback can be extremely frustrating for players and as such they are always a last resort. Please know the team worked extremely hard looking for ways to restore lost data without having to revert the game to a previous state. Please know that over the coming days we will continue to look into what lead to this problem and are looking for ways to help avoid such problems from occurring again.</p>
+

<p>If you purchased SUPER|brie+ or another item with real-world cash we are working from a backup of our transaction history to restore those purchased items to your inventory. We're working hard to get those items in your inventory as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience and your support!</p>

====Birthday Party Celebration!====
 
<p>MOUSEHUNT IS TURNING FOUR YEARS OLD!</p>
 
  
<p>It feels like just yesterday, MouseHunt was a young application on Facebook. It's been an amazing four years, and we couldn't have done it without the awesome support and dedication of our players, the MouseHunters.</p>
+
==== The Great Winter Hunt is Coming to an End ====
 +
Congratulations MouseHunters, thanks to your valiant efforts, the Frost King's forces are retreating!
  
<p>For this birthday, the King had a GRANDIOSE birthday cake prepared for all of the hunters. But with all that sugar in one place... The excited little mice just couldn't help themselves, and we don't blame them!</p>
+
After the relentless barrage of Hailstones from the brave hunters of Gnawnia, the Frost King's icy powers are waning and the Great Winter Taiga is beginning to thaw.
  
<p>Head to the Birthday Party Celebration area in Gnawnia, help us re-build that cake, and celebrate MouseHunt's Fourth Birthday with us!</p>
+
Soon all the snow will be gone and the Frost King and his forces will go into hiding for another year.
  
'''Our Gift to You'''
 
  
<p>MouseHunt officially turns four years old on Wednesday, March 7th, 2012. Remember to join us on that day for a special treat! The celebrations will end on Friday, March 9th, 2012.</p>

The following changes have happened in the Taiga:

*Mice are no longer dropping Golem Parts or Pecan Pecorino

*Mice in Cinnamon Hill are no longer dropping Compressed Cinnamon

The following things will remain the same '''until January 16''' when the event shuts down completely:

*Hailstones can still be fired at the Ice Fortress</div>
  
<p>Head on over to the Birthday Party Celebration area and hunt down the mice that have run off with necessary birthday cake ingredients. You'll need to find 15 Blobs of Cake Batter, 15 Dollops of Icing, 4 Birthday Cake Candles, and 4 Sparks of Candle Flame, in that order, to complete the MouseHunt Birthday Cake.</p>

<p>All of the mice at the Birthday Party Celebration area are celebrating, and most have Party Charms on them! Find these charms and equip them to gain a small power and luck bonus, and to better attract mice carrying birthday cake ingredients!</p>

*Compressed Cinnamon

*Hailstones

*Firework Sugar Cookies

<p>In order to bring out some of the more troublesome mice, the final phase of cake-building will need an extra fiery feature. Hunt any mice in the Birthday Party Celebration area during the final build step in order to obtain Nanny Charms, then equip them to finish off the cake!</p>

These limited time bundles will be gone from the Premium Shop on Tuesday, January 16 so pick them up while you still can!
  
Some of the mice have put on party hats for this birthday celebration. These little mice, however, have gone the extra mile and dressed up as their favourite animal: the dinosaur. They want to be dinosaurs when they grow up, and we just don't have the heart to tell them otherwise. Be wary of these little troublemakers; dinosaurs have voracious appetites, and mice love sugar. Put it all together and your cake won't be safe for long once it's fully built!
