| |
| − | <blockquote>
| |
| − | <p>As you have no doubt noticed both the Recent News and Updates and Nibbler discussion boards have been re-vamped. At the top of both discussion boards is the newest post which cannot be replied to. These changes are necessary due to various bugs and security flaws with the Facebook discussion board system that allows others to post within boards that are restricted.</p>
| |
| | | | |
| − | <p>The flaws have been reported to Facebook as bugs for several months and are still being worked on. Should these errors be resolved by Facebook we will consider re-organizing the discussion boards once again. One benefit of this new format is that we will now be able to post richer format for our updates such as embedded images, different font sizes and colours, and embedded videos, among other things.</p>
| + | NEWSPOST OPENING LINE(S) |
| | | | |
| − | <p>We understand that this new format may take some getting used to and that getting used to change may create some frustration. Unfortunately due to the extremely high traffic of the forums we are unable to afford the hardware required to host our own forum system at this time. We are certainly open to suggestions on how to improve this system within our own technical limitations.</p>

| − | First of all, please be aware that we do NOT sell user info to ANYONE! This is completely against the Facebook ToS AND our morals! There was speculation of this and I just wanted to clear that up. Some players believed this was how we made money from the toolbar, but that's achieved from the sponsored searches that appear in the results (which is how you get free SB+ in return!). Our users' privacy is one of our TOP priorities and we would never compromise that.</p>
| |
| | | | |
| − | <p>Secondly, the warning messages about "fraud" have been intimidating some users, and we were surprised when we saw them as well. It seems our affiliate has chosen some rather strong vocabulary in "warning" users. I wanted to make it clear that your MouseHunt account is in NO RISK whatsoever. What the message is trying to say is that searches should be valid and wholesome, not just gibberish, but it seems the filter for picking this pattern up is a little sensitive.</p>
| + | ---- |
| | | | |
| − | <p>Again, your MouseHunt account is NOT at risk. The wording used in the warning message is confusing and can lead you to believe this, but it is not the case. We are speaking with our affiliate to have this cleared up.</p> | + | </blockquote> --> |

| − | === A Very Gouda Update ===
| |
| − | ''{{date|21|July|2009}}''
| |
| | <blockquote> | | <blockquote> |
| − | <p>Hello MouseHunters!</p>
| |
| | | | |
| − | <p>Today's release adds more features and content than you can shake a DrillBot at!</p>
| + | '''Viceroy hunters and above can now embark on a new adventure.'''<br> |
| | + | Study hard to advance from Apprentice to Master at the School of Sorcery! |
| | | | |
| − | <p>As you have no doubt noticed, a new section has been added to the Camp page called Hunting Tips from Larry. You may remember Larry from the beginning tutorial of the game or perhaps seen him on a few of the help pages. These tips are designed to provide hunters with the "need-to-know" information for each area in the game. Previously, there was no straight-forward way to know essential information, such as the bait to use in special areas, which led to many confused and angry emails and forum posts. We hope Larry will help hunters avoid frustrations like wasting SUPER|brie+ in the Mousoleum.</p>
| + | ==== Classes have begun at the School of Sorcery! ==== |
| | + | The Mythweaver's latest plot has been discovered and it involves instructing the mice of the Folklore Forest in the ways of his malevolent magic! |
| | | | |
| − | <p>Some hunters have also noticed the mice of the S.S. Huntington II carrying a compass and other navigation tools. If a hunter is able to collect all three tools they will be able to assemble a kit that will allow them to safely navigate their boat further into the open ocean. The journey will no doubt be dangerous, but with great risk comes great reward!</p>
| + | The King needs the bravest and most studious MouseHunters, Viceroy and above, to enroll at the new School of Sorcery and teach the Mythweaver and his minions a thing or two about classroom etiquette. |
| | | | |
| − | <p>Four traps are now able to be dismantled with your Hunter's Hammer: the Digby DrillBot, Venus Mouse Trap, Harpoon Gun and Net Cannon. If you smash these traps and then decide you want them back, you may reassemble them by entering their parts alone in the crafting menu and pressing "combine items". An exception is the Net Cannon which requires one coil of rope to be used should you wish to reconstruct it.</p>
| + | ==== Enrollment Process! ==== |
| | + | The Tale of the Sorcerer's Apprentice map piece can be purchased from the Bountiful Beanstalk Cartographer for '''1,000,000 Gold''', '''1,000 Golden Goose Eggs''', and requires completion of the Slay the Mythical Giant King adventure for any hunters who have yet to obtain it. |
| | | | |
| − | <p>This is by far the largest update we have ever applied to the game and this is only phase one of the new storyline. Due to the massive amount of content, we decided to break up the release into three smaller parts. This update is part one and includes four new areas, 36 new mice, new types of cheese and traps, new crafting combinations and more!</p>
| + | Alternatively, hunters who earned Thousandth Draft Derby Cheese during the Spring Egg Hunt can earn the map piece by hunting the M1000 at the Table of Contents. |
| | | | |
| − | <p>Look forward to the next two updates, each adding one additional area, along with new cheese, mice, and traps!</p>
| + | ==== Lessons in the Science of Refraction ==== |
| − | -- {{MHP|502041253|Dave Vanderburg}}
| + | The new Trapsmith at the School of Sorcery has become a master of refractive science and has developed an extraordinary new entry into the line of refractor bases. |

| + | |} |
| | | | |
| − | <p>We definitely plan on adding more upgradable traps! You may just find a few sooner than later...</p>
| + | ==== Visit the new General Store during recess ==== |
| | + | This school comes equipped with a General Store that is stocked with powerful items to aid hunters with their studies. |

| |
| − | ''{{date|10|July|2009}}''
| |
| − | <blockquote>
| |
| − | <p>At the end of this week's feedback we answered some questions that are frequently asked. Thanks goes out to MouseHunter Dane Koster for organizing this concise list of questions, concerns and curiosities for us to address.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>You can watch the feedback Friday video here:
| |
| − | http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=99248164245</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ====* Radioactive Sludge and Stale SB+====
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>A use for Radioactive Sludge and stale SUPER|brie+ will be available in the next major update.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ====* Missing MouseHunt 1.0 Stats====
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>Due to the radically different data structure between the old MouseHunt version 1.0 and the current game, old game stats were imported with a 4% margin of error. We apologize for any frustration this may cause. The statistics were imported as best they could with our budget and resources available.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ====* Hunting parties====
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>The party cork board is currently lacking notifications for when a member posts to it. This was an oversight that is planned to be fixed for the next update. We are also adding additional token rewards for parties finishing in fourth to tenth place. These additional token rewards will not be retroactive.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ====* Tournaments for specific ranks====
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>Some tournaments are for mice only available in certain areas which has the same effect. We asked this question during feedback Friday and received some mixed response.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ====* Uses for Champion's Chest and Tournament Tokens====
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>Dev Jeremy is hard at work implementing items for both chests and tokens. The plans for these items include new bases and cheese. We also plan on adding new uses for these items over time.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ====* Some traps perceived as useful everywhere====
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>Some players have expressed concern that some traps such as the Partybot and ACRONYM are useful against nearly all mice in all locations. The power of a Partybot is often exaggerated by those who own one. As stated in the past, luck is the absolute last stat you should worry about when trying to maximize the odds of catching a mouse. The ACRONYM is an incredibly hard trap to acquire and is meant to be an adequate reward of being able to hunt Physical, Shadow and Forgotten type mice. However, as future updates bring more powerful mice you may find that a more powerful Shadow or Physical trap will become more useful than the ACRONYM.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ====* Concerns with JavaScript links====
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>Some of the links on the site rely on JavaScript for functionality. We try our best to usually have a non-JS version of the link that will provide the same functionality with a page load. Providing non-JavaScript support is not the most important priority because Facebook itself is very JavaScript-reliant and only a very small portion of players use outdated browsers with poor support for JavaScript.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ====* How we decide on storylines====
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>What usually happens is one person has a basic idea and if everyone likes the idea it then slowly evolves with the input of the entire team.</p>

| |
| − | <blockquote>
| |
| − | <p>Today marks the release of the much-antipated tournament prizes!</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>Members of the top 100 teams shall all receive a new unique item called a Tournament Token. This new crafting ingredient will be a multi-purpose ingredient for use in several new and existing recipes. We would love to hear from the community regarding the use of Tournament Tokens in recipes. We have a few ideas of our own but are also looking for fun ideas from MouseHunters! So, put on your thinking caps and swarm to the Ideas & Suggestions forums to have your suggestions heard!</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>Tokens are awarded to each member of the top 100 teams as follows:</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>(1st) 5 tokens<br />
| |
| − | (2nd & 3rd) 4 Tokens<br />
| |
| − | (4th - 49th) 2 Tokens<br />
| |
| − | (50th - 100th) 1 Token</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>In addition, members of the team that finish first will also each receive a "Champion Chest". We would also love to hear from players regarding the contents of this coveted chest!</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>Prizes will be awarded within 60 minutes of the tournament's end.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>We have also added these much asked for tournament features:</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>Party cork board on the "Organize Party" page<br />
| |
| − | Basic date search function for the Tournament Scoreboard<br />
| |
| − | New streamlined tournament join page<br />
| |
| − | Clearer success and error messages</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>A big thanks goes out to Dev Jeremy for all his hard work in creating the prize system!</p>

| |
| − | ''{{date|16|June|2009}}''
| |
| − | <blockquote>
| |
| − | <p>We're excited to be one of the first three apps chosen by Facebook to implement the credits system!</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>This new Facebook credit system works by purchasing credits from Facebook and then spending them inside MouseHunt for Super Brie. These credits will soon be able to be used all over Facebook. To get started with Facebook Credits click the blue "Pay now" button on the donate page.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>We have also partnered with a new offer system called Boomerang. The system works similarly to those many players have used in the past but with one special difference: The ability to rate and review offers. Help your fellow hunters find the best offers by providing feedback on those you have tried. We hope that Boomerang will make finding the right offer easier than ever!</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>We hope today's update has helped make SUPER|brie+ accessible to more hunters.</p>
