''{{date|8|April|2009}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
<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>
 
 
<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>Thanks for your corporation.</p>

===Using "Bots" WILL get you BANNED!===
 
''{{date|6|April|2009}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
<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>
 
<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>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>

==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 3 ====
 +
CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
<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>

==== Spring Forward into another Egg-Packed Season! ====
 +
One of the most time-honoured events has returned to the Kingdom of Gnawnia! This year the Spring Egg Hunt features 11 brand new eggs, loads of chocolate fondue, and a very special reward found on Lady Laura’s final shelf that will begin a journey extending beyond the Spring Egg Hunt!
  
<p>Thanks for your help in isolating this problem that a handful of players are experiencing.</p>
+
To get started, you'll need a special egg-finding piece of equipment called an Eggscavator. If you do not already own one, you can claim one for free from the Spring Egg Hunt heads-up display. So grab yourself an Eggscavator and get ready for an eggsceptional season!

==== Eggstra Fondue: A Decadent Delight from Lady Laura! ====
''{{date|25|March|2009}}''
+
Lady Laura, the esteemed chocolatier, has outdone herself this year with an exquisite addition to her culinary repertoire: Eggstra Fondue. This divine chocolate fondue crafted with a celestial symphony of flavor and texture promises an indulgent gustatory experience like no other!
<blockquote>
 
<p>Hey everyone!</p>
 
  
<p>Just reminding you guys that the best way to get rid of a troll is to not give it any attention.</p>
+
Taking over the role of Eggstra Charms from past Egg Hunts, Eggstra Fondue brings a new level of decadence to the Spring Egg Hunt by freeing up the charm slot to strategically aid in your egg-hunting endeavours! Activated through the event HUD, this luxurious fondue produces Chocolatonium and 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.
  
<p>Eventually, they get bored and move on. The best thing to do right now is simply not reply to any topics at all that are posted by trolls in this forum.</p>
+
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em">'''An Eggstra Important Note'''
 +
The Eggstra ingredient used in Eggstra Charms and Eggstra Charge Charms from previous Egg Hunts has gone stale. These charms can be smashed with the Hunter's Hammer to reactivate the Eggstra ingredient and convert them into Eggstra Fondue!
 +
'''Eggstra Fondue is NOT safe for consumption and should be handled with protective equipment.'''</div>
  
<p>Check out the new video for some recent news and get back to the hunt!</p>
+
Unfortunately, a certain group of greedy, chocolate-obsessed mice have once again ambushed Lady Laura's caravan and stolen all of her Chocolatonium! Collect the stolen Chocolatonium from the Spring Egg Hunt mice roaming all over the Kingdom. These mice are so plentiful right now that you won't even need cheese to attract them!
  
<p>http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=58973264245</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>Remember, keep that trigger finger at bay! =)</p>

==== The Journey for the M1000 has begun! ====
-- {{MHP|501789245|Giorgio Sintichakis}}
+
Lady Laura has an extra special surprise this year! Unlocking the final shelf in her Chocolate Shop will reward the '''M1000 Team Research Expedition Scroll Case'''.
</blockquote>
 
  
===Trap Check Update===
+
Completing this challenging treasure map with up to four friends is the first step towards hunting the M1000 mouse when it activates on '''April 16, 2024'''.
''{{date|25|March|2009}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
<p>Hello MouseHunters!</p>
 
  
<p>As many of you are already aware trap checks have not been happening as regularly as normal. We have isolated the problem and have come up with a solution. We are currently in the final stages of testing this solution and anticipate it being put into production soon.</p>
+
Inside the M1000 Team treasure chest, you'll find another, much shorter scroll case that can only be completed alone.
  
<p>Thanks for your patience while we sort things out. We'll post another update when the solution is in place.</p>
+
Completing the '''M1000 Solo Pursuit Treasure Map''' will reward the only cheese powerful enough to attract the M1000: '''Thousandth Draft Derby Cheese'''!
-- {{MHP|502041253|Dave Vanderburg}}
 
</blockquote>
 
  
===Publish Catch Journals===
+
You will be able to use this valuable new cheese starting '''April 16, 2024''' when the M1000 will be activated in the '''Table of Contents'''!
''{{date|17|March|2009}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
<p>I've re-posted this since the first time I accidently posted it in the Nibbler section; Old habits die hard I suppose!</p>
 
  
<p>We have added a small green button to the top of journal entries for catches that will allow a player to publish that catch to their Facebook profile Wall. Now you can share those awesome catches or rare loot with all your friends. The green button will appear for all catches made after this update was applied.</p>
+
Catching the M1000 will reward the map piece for the upcoming '''School of Sorcery''' as well as a powerful new aura: the '''Millenniaura'''!
  
<p>We've also added a notification for when a player is out of cheese. Should your trap run out of bait you'll receive a notification to help you maximize your hunting time!</p>
+
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em">The M1000 Team Expedition maps are permanent new additions to the game! Hunters can hold onto their scroll cases to complete them later and will be able to purchase additional M1000 Team Scroll Cases from the Cartographer in the upcoming School of Sorcery.</div>
  
<p>We have also tweaked the give supplies page so that by default no friend is selected. This should help avoid mistakes where players were sending supplies to the wrong person.</p>
+
==== Spring Mice and Spring Eggs ====
-- {{MHP|502041253|Dave Vanderburg}}
+
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!
</blockquote>
 
  
===Last day to request RB!===
+
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.
''{{date|11|March|2009}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
<p>Hello Everyone,</p>
 
  
<p>Today is the last day we will be accepting emails regarding the issue of RB compensation.</p>
+
In the midst of this Chocolatonium frenzy, some special mice have relocated to new, permanent homes within Gnawnia. Certain mice with a history of love and heartache are waiting to be discovered among a few different locations in the kingdom, and may be the key to finding one of the new eggs…
  
<p>If you have NOT contacted us yet, please use the support link at the bottom of the Camp page. Again, I will be ignoring any requests that are not made through the support link.</p>
+
==== New Year, New Eggs! ====
 +
There are '''11 new eggs''' to find! Can you decipher their hints and find them to collect their bonus loot? Remember, you'll need your trusty Eggscavator to find them so make sure you pick one up before you head out!
  
<p>I have not gotten to everyone yet, there are quite a bit of emails to go through still so if you do not have it yet, please be patient, you should have it by next week at the latest.</p>

==== 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.
  
<p>Happy hunting!</p>
+
These eggs will contain loot appropriate for areas in the Kingdom tied to hunter ranks, '''now including the Bountiful Beanstalk in the Tier 5 Egg''' (Archduke/Archduchess and up). You can find a few Eggsweeper Shovels in each of this year's Spring Eggs including a whopping 60 inside the Golden Egg! You can also find them in your Daily Loyalty Chest, Lady Laura will gift you some for unlocking each of the shelves in her Chocolate Shop, or you can purchase them from the Premium Shop.

Chocolatonium 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>OK guys! This is the last time! The Catacombs are now officially fixed!</p>
 
 
 
<p>When we added the birthday mice, we had also added two other mice we forgot about and noticed no one was catching them (good work Jacob!). We made the same original mistake with adding them as the birthday mice and forgot when we went back to fix the birthday ones.</p>
 
 
 
<p>Now they are all fixed!</p>

THE SPRING EGG HUNT HAS BEGUN!

19 March 2024

Eggsplore and Eggsperience the Season!
New Eggs and New Rewards!

Spring Forward into another Egg-Packed Season!

One of the most time-honoured events has returned to the Kingdom of Gnawnia! This year the Spring Egg Hunt features 11 brand new eggs, loads of chocolate fondue, and a very special reward found on Lady Laura’s final shelf that will begin a journey extending beyond the Spring Egg Hunt!

To get started, you'll need a special egg-finding piece of equipment called an Eggscavator. If you do not already own one, you can claim one for free from the Spring Egg Hunt heads-up display. So grab yourself an Eggscavator and get ready for an eggsceptional season!

Eggstra Fondue: A Decadent Delight from Lady Laura!

Lady Laura, the esteemed chocolatier, has outdone herself this year with an exquisite addition to her culinary repertoire: Eggstra Fondue. This divine chocolate fondue crafted with a celestial symphony of flavor and texture promises an indulgent gustatory experience like no other!

Taking over the role of Eggstra Charms from past Egg Hunts, Eggstra Fondue brings a new level of decadence to the Spring Egg Hunt by freeing up the charm slot to strategically aid in your egg-hunting endeavours! Activated through the event HUD, this luxurious fondue produces Chocolatonium and 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.

An Eggstra Important Note

The Eggstra ingredient used in Eggstra Charms and Eggstra Charge Charms from previous Egg Hunts has gone stale. These charms can be smashed with the Hunter's Hammer to reactivate the Eggstra ingredient and convert them into Eggstra Fondue!

Eggstra Fondue is NOT safe for consumption and should be handled with protective equipment.

Unfortunately, a certain group of greedy, chocolate-obsessed mice have once again ambushed Lady Laura's caravan and stolen all of her Chocolatonium! Collect the stolen Chocolatonium from the Spring Egg Hunt mice roaming all over the Kingdom. These mice are so plentiful right now that you won't even need cheese to attract 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.

The Journey for the M1000 has begun!

Lady Laura has an extra special surprise this year! Unlocking the final shelf in her Chocolate Shop will reward the M1000 Team Research Expedition Scroll Case.

Completing this challenging treasure map with up to four friends is the first step towards hunting the M1000 mouse when it activates on April 16, 2024.

Inside the M1000 Team treasure chest, you'll find another, much shorter scroll case that can only be completed alone.

Completing the M1000 Solo Pursuit Treasure Map will reward the only cheese powerful enough to attract the M1000: Thousandth Draft Derby Cheese!

You will be able to use this valuable new cheese starting April 16, 2024 when the M1000 will be activated in the Table of Contents!

Catching the M1000 will reward the map piece for the upcoming School of Sorcery as well as a powerful new aura: the Millenniaura!

The M1000 Team Expedition maps are permanent new additions to the game! Hunters can hold onto their scroll cases to complete them later and will be able to purchase additional M1000 Team Scroll Cases from the Cartographer in the upcoming School of Sorcery.

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.

In the midst of this Chocolatonium frenzy, some special mice have relocated to new, permanent homes within Gnawnia. Certain mice with a history of love and heartache are waiting to be discovered among a few different locations in the kingdom, and may be the key to finding one of the new eggs…

New Year, New Eggs!

There are 11 new eggs to find! Can you decipher their hints and find them to collect their bonus loot? Remember, you'll need your trusty Eggscavator to find them so make sure you pick one up before you head out!

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, now including the Bountiful Beanstalk in the Tier 5 Egg (Archduke/Archduchess and up). You can find a few Eggsweeper Shovels in each of this year's Spring Eggs including a whopping 60 inside the Golden Egg! You can also find them in your Daily Loyalty Chest, Lady Laura will gift you some for unlocking each of the shelves in her Chocolate Shop, or you can purchase them from the Premium Shop.

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!

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE:

Chocolatonium 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 16, mice will no longer drop Chocolatonium and eggs will no longer be found in the Kingdom.

As of April 23, any Chocolatonium that remains in a hunter's inventory will decay into nothingness.

As of April 30, The Eggsweeper Mini-Game will close.

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