| |
| − | <p>Hello MouseHunters,</p>
| |
| | | | |
| − | <p>It is with great pleasure and excitement that we announce the biggest new feature addition to MouseHunt since MouseHunt 2.0: MouseHunt Tournaments and Hunting Parties! If you are of Apprentice rank or higher, you will now be able to form unique groups of hunters to hunt competitively in a series of regularly scheduled tournaments!</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>How do you sign up and how does this all work you ask? You can read all about how to join or create a Hunting Party and play in a MouseHunt Tournament by going to the Organize Party link under the Friends tab or following this url:<br/>
| |
| − | http://apps.facebook.com/mousehunt/organizeparty.php</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>We're going to start with a few short daily tournaments so everyone can learn how things work and get their parties together. These tournaments will be available shortly</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>Occasionally, there will be prizes given out for MouseHunt Tournament winners. Also, there are two new boards that we've added to the forums: Tournament Talk and Meet and Greet. The Tournament Talk board can be used to discuss all things tournaments and the Meet and Greet can be used to recruit other hunters for your parties.</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>A few quick words about MouseHunt Tournaments... <br/>
| |
| − | Some tournaments will be free to join, others will have an entrance cost of cheese, gold or some combination of the two. Tournament Scoreboards for tournaments your current party has hunted in may be found by going to the Tournament Scoreboard link under the Lore tab and are updated hourly.<p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>Finally, a special thanks to all of the beta testers! You've been so unbelievably helpful in getting these features to where they are now.</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>We're all very excited about this new addition and really hope everyone enjoys it and demonstrates good hunting etiquette!<br/>
| |

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

| | + | ''{{date|23|April|2024}}'' |
| | | | |
| − | <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>

| |
| − | ''{{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> | + | '''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>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>

| − | === New Map, Lucky Shields and Trade Changes ===
| + | 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. |

| | + | 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>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>
| + | 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>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> | + | <center>'''Stats'''</center> |

| | | | |
| − | <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>
| + | ==== Stock up on School Supplies! ==== |
| | + | The King has put together some limited time back-to-school specials to enhance your education! |
| | | | |
| − | <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> | + | {| style="width: 100%; border-spacing: 1em" |

| − | | |
| − | <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>- 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>

| |
| − | <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>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>

| − | <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>
