| − | <p>The Town of Digby keeps on expanding by drilling deeper into soil, making room for more of the King's finest scientists. Recent drilling has uncovered a network of underground streams where small glowing crystals have washed up.</p>
| |
| | | | |
| − | <p>These crystals were soon found to be the Living Shards, used by Dr. F. Romage in his experiments to bring the Monster mice to life. After some careful experimentation a second, more cheesy use has been uncovered.</p>

| − | <p>Adding Radioactive Sludge and Living Shards to Curds and Whey causes an instant reaction, which results in a lime-scented, green glowing cheese that quickly earned the name Limelight Cheese. The small shards vibrate within the curd, making high-pitched noises that draws out mice that dwell deep below the soil at Digby.</p> | + | <blockquote> |
| − | | |
| − | <p>To accommodate hunters in making Limelight Cheese the Town of Digby has opened a general store selling both Curds and Whey, as well as Living Shards. The shards are quite rare and hard to find, making them a tad on the expensive side. If you're gold coffers are running low, don't fret! Hunting Monster mice is a sure-way to find a shard or two for free!</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>Hunting the subterranean mice of Digby should not be taken lightly! What dwells deep below can be a frightening sight. The subtle vibration of Limelight Cheese can attract the massive Big Bad Burroughs mouse, whose multiple jaws yield thousands of teeth just waiting to snack on some cheese.</p>
| |
| | | | |
| − | <p>Living Shards were not the only discovery made deep below Digby... An extremely rare element named Ohnoesium (which coincidentally makes a nice base for many traps) was found in the tunnels left by Big Bad Burroughs mice. If you're looking to acquire this base, then hunt for the Big Bad Burroughs mouse.</p>

| − | === A Curious Little Chemist Brews Up Trouble! ===
| |
| − | ''{{date|16|March|2010}}''
| |
| | <blockquote> | | <blockquote> |
| − | <p>It all started when a Terrible Twos mouse invited a friend to the party -- A curious little chemist mouse who began to experiment with Gnarled Cheese while exploring The Great Gnarled Tree. A dash of this and a hint of that later the novice scientist created a new potion! If you manage to catch a Curious Chemist mouse they're sure to be carrying one of these new potions, but be warned that the little chemists are a bit picky about their cheese and seem to only enjoy the crisp flavour of Gnarled Cheese.</p>
| |
| | | | |
| − | <p>When used with brie or SUPER|brie+ (along with a little bit of the magic contained within every Gnawnian gold coin) these new potions make Wicked Gnarly Cheese. Woah, totally awesome dude! Wicked Gnarly Cheese is a much more pungent version of Gnarled Cheese and seems to attract the very strongest mice of the Lagoon, including a new powerful mouse that had long been hiding in caverns located below the water's surface.</p>
| + | '''Eggsplore and Eggsperience the Season!'''<br> |
| | + | New Eggs and New Rewards! |
| | | | |
| − | <p>The powerful mouse known as a Silth mouse is indeed a worthy adversary for any hunter. The intimidating stare of its beady red eyes can cripple your courage, setting you back points. While its menacing claws like to reach into your pack and steal a few shiny gold coins. Hunting this new adversary is for the most experienced of hunters -- it will test your patience along with your resource collecting skills. It will be a challenging hunt, but is sure to come with bragging rights!</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>If you're looking for a more tangible reward than bragging rights, rest assured the King is offering a handsome reward of more than 15,000 gold coins per capture. The Silth mouse also seems to enjoy hoarding the gold it steals from hunters, you may also be lucky enough to collect a gold satchel upon catching this watery beast.</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! |
| | | | |
| − | <p>The Terrible Twos mouse has brought the party to Whisker Woods and in the process somehow surrendered a piece of Digby technology to the Silth mouse! If you catch a Silth this month you'll find yourself in possession of Chrome Nanite Coating which is sure to come in handy if you're looking to upgrade your Nannybot at the end of March. If you don't catch a Silth the Chrome Nanite will be available from the Harbour general store for a limited time in the future.</p>
| + | ==== 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! |
| | | | |
| − | <p>Meanwhile, the always enthusiastic Larry has updated his competition scoreboard to include the Silth. You can check out his scoreboard [http://apps.facebook.com/mousehunt/?bdaystats here], or by clicking of the links circulating in the news ticker at the top of every page.</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. |
| | | | |
| − | ---- | + | <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> |
| | | | |
| − | ;The King Looks towards the Future:
| + | 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>The King is certain that the depths of the Lagoon are a mysterious place where there is more to find. Hunters currently lack the ability to plunge beneath its surface to explore the strange caverns below, but the King has the scientists of Digby to work on the problem! Although not too optimistic about this exploration, the King expects a breakthrough to be made over the course of the next few months that may reveal hunting grounds below, or beyond the Lagoon. When and if that time comes, the King may need you hunters to hunt the Silth to aid the efforts of Digby's explorations. If you're the type of hunter that likes to always be prepared (even months in advance), perhaps save a small stash of Wicked Gnarled.... just incase.</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. |
| | | | |
| − | ----
| + | ==== 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'''. |
| | | | |
| − | {| style="margin:0 auto; text-align:center; padding:10px; background-color:#dddddd; border:1px solid #999999; width:100%;"
| + | 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'''. |
| − | | valign="top" | <div style="font-size:100%"><p>'''Larry's Quick-Reference Guide to the Silth Mouse'''</p>
| |
| − | <p>Larry is still getting his feet with in the Lagoon -- Check back here in a day or two if you're looking for a point-form guide to what's new. In the meantime, get out there on the discussion boards, talk with your fellow hunters and good luck!</p></div>

| − | === The Dojo Sensei Awakens! ===
| + | Completing the '''M1000 Solo Pursuit Treasure Map''' will reward the only cheese powerful enough to attract the M1000: '''Thousandth Draft Derby Cheese'''! |
| − | ''{{date|9|March|2010}}'' | |
| − | <blockquote>
| |
| − | <p>It is now week two of the MouseHunt Birthday Celebration!</p>
| |
| | | | |
| − | <p>For the remaining weeks in March we'll be releasing new, challenging mice in existing areas. These mice are meant to be the most powerful mice of their respective regions and act as an accomplishment for hunters looking to prove themselves to be the best of the best!</p>
| + | 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'''! |
| | | | |
| − | <p>This week the [[Terrible Twos]] mouse has brought the party to Furoma where their antics and noise have awoken an ancient mouse of great power. The party is really heating up -- Keep an eye open for an increased population of Terrible Twos, Present, Birthday and Rockstar mice in both Gnawnia and Furoma.</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>The [[Dojo Sensei]] can be found roaming the [[Pinnacle Chamber]]. Be warned -- Hunting the Dojo Sensei is not for the faint of heart! Their swift attacks can come with a penalty of crippled courage, setting back a hunter's points, but their capture is the most lucrative of the Furoma region. The Dojo Sensei mice drop a variety of loot including a set of blueprints for a new physical weapon made of platinum and onyx which is more powerful than the Digby Drillbot!</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>Attracting a powerful adversary such as the Dojo Sensei is a major part of the challenge of capturing one. Their preference in bait is a strange form of [[Onyx Gorgonzola|Onyx Marbled Gorgonzola]] (O.M.G.) made by fusing together Curds and Whey with Onyx Stones using Ionized Salt.</p>
| + | ==== 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! |
| | | | |
| − | <p>It seems the mysteries of Furoma Onyx are slowly being revealed... who knows what other uses it may have!</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. |
| | | | |
| − | ----
| + | 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>'''Meanwhile, deep in the labs of Digby...'''</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>Upon finishing the design of the [[Nannybot]], the good people at Digby decided she could use a new chassis, one with a little more style and "bling". Unfortunately, the three vital components needed to upgrade the Nannybot were scattered all over the Kingdom by mischievous Terrible Twos mice. This week the first piece of the upgrade appears to have surfaced -- a "Timeout Upgrade" clock. Somehow this upgrade piece has gotten into the hands of the Dojo Sensei!</p>
| + | {| style="width: 100%; border-spacing: 1em" |
| − | | + | |- style="text-align: center" |
| − | <p>If you should happen to catch a Dojo Sensei this month then you may be lucky enough to loot a Timeout Upgrade. Digby has also sent their finest hunters to Furoma to collect a stock of parts which they plan to sell at the Harbour General store later this month (when they have collected enough to stock the shelves). These parts don't come cheap, so if you're up for a challenge and want to save a few gold coins, try testing your hunting vigor and catch a Dojo Sensei to obtain a Timeout Upgrade for free!</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>The Nannybot seemed to attract a few Glitchpaw mice to the party causing a few hunters to be given a "Valentine from the Devs" upon constructing their Nannybots. Unfortunately, these valentines were printed on a strange, extremely bio-degradable paper and have now crumbled to dust. If you had a valentine courtesy of a Glitchpaw, it has been removed from your inventory. Don't worry though, we devs still love you! <3</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. |

| |
| − | <p>Can you believe we released MouseHunt 2 years ago.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>It has been such a journey for us here at HitGrab. We opened the game to all of facebook 2 years ago with what people thought was a silly idea. The first year was such an incredible journey, our team slept very little as we dealt with all the challenges that came with keeping the servers running and adding content. </p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>2 years later we have almost 500 000 people joining us every month with around 175 000 coming back each day. We are blessed to be doing this still and I am blown away by how fast time flies when you are having fun. We here at HitGrab have been lucky in that you, our audience has actively engaged with us and helped us build this game. </p>

| − | === Feedback Friday Recap ===
| |
| − | ''{{date|5|March|2010}}'' | |
| − | <blockquote>
| |
| − | <p>Happy Birthday, MouseHunters!</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>It was a blast hanging out with hunters in a party-like atmosphere this week during Feedback Friday! We shared some digital cake, did some dancing and answered questions! Many hunters requested a quick summary like the one we posted last week. I'll break down the details below.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>'''What's coming this month:'''</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>Gifts! The King is expecting a shipment of gifts and cake to arrive soon for the birthday party! The Terrible Twos mice are sure to have a love for presents and cake... I have a feeling the King may require his hunters to keep Terrible Twos mice under control.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>There have been a few rare reports of Terrible Twos mice lurking around the Training Grounds. Larry has knowledge of a very old mouse, rumored to be more powerful than the Master of the Dojo, and is scared that the antics of the Terrible Twos mouse may awaken it. If you're in the Furoma region, have your traps ready!</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>If the Terrible Twos mouse continues to travel, who knows what powerful, sleeping mice he may awaken... Hope you're up for a challenge, hunters! These new mice will be permanent additions to the game, so if you're not quite ready to take them on they'll still be around when you are!</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>'''Player frustrations about releases:'''</p>
| |
| | | | |
| − | <p>Feedback Friday opened with Bryan addressing some points of frustration regarding the lack of new releases to expand the plot of the game. As the game has continued to grow for two years, adding new mouse areas and other content, and as more and more players joined, the hunt has become more cumbersome. It was clear that some major architecture changes needed to happen to accommodate the game’s growth. For the past six months, we have been focused on "Longtail" - a major rewrite of the entire game, from scratch. As you can imagine, rebuilding something that has been developed for two years, from scratch, is a very large project.</p> | + | <div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; padding: 0.416em">As of '''April 16''', mice will no longer drop Chocolatonium and eggs will no longer be found in the Kingdom. |
| | | | |
| − | <p>During the development of Longtail, adding content and features to the existing game became a challenge -- new content and features now needed to be added to two versions of the game, doubling the work. This is how much of the content and story being prepared came to be dependent on the release of Longtail.</p>
| + | As of '''April 23''', any Chocolatonium that remains in a hunter's inventory will decay into nothingness. |
| | | | |
| − | <p>We're excited to release Longtail and get back to expanding the story line of MouseHunt and adding new areas, mice, traps, etc. Once Longtail is out, we are planning to have a regularly scheduled day for content updates. The number of veteran players in the game has grown in the past six months, and we absolutely plan on releasing more areas for Knights, Barons, Counts, etc.</p>
| + | As of '''April 30''', The Eggsweeper Mini-Game will close. |
| | | | |
| − | <p>'''Longtail:'''</p>
| + | Make sure to spend it all at the Chocolate Shop while you can!</div> |
| | | | |
| − | <p>Longtail is getting closer and closer to being complete and we're getting very excited! Many of our plans for new mice, areas, traps, etc. are dependent on the release of Longtail. We asked hunters what sort of info they would like to see in progress updates. The consensus seemed to be mechanics information but no plot information.</p>

| | | | |
| − | <p>We realise that we have not discussed too many details about the progress of Longtail, which has no doubt bred frustrations from players wondering what's happening behind the scenes and why there was a sudden slow down in the frequency of updates. We knew Longtail would be in development for months and wanted to avoid building too much hype too early on and stretch the patience of hunters. Now that we are close to a Longtail release we are more comfortable sharing progress updates and will strive to keep everyone in the loop as we work on Longtail.</p>
| + | You can sign up for the newsletter from the settings section of the game. Change your mind? You're free to unsubscribe at any time! |
| | | | |
| − | <p>We'll be keeping everyone in the loop about how Longtail is progressing, to hopefully ease frustrations about the lack of new areas recently. We have several new areas and mice (over 50 mice are ready to go!) that we're excited to put out after the release of Longtail.</p>

| + | __NOTOC__ |
| − | ''{{date|2|March|2010}}''
| + | __NOEDITSECTION__ |
| − | <blockquote>
| |
| − | <p>Greetings, MouseHunters!</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>It's that time of year again, when spring is just around the corner, and MouseHunt celebrates another birthday! That's right: the magical world of Gnawnia is celebrating its second birthday, and to celebrate, there will be special content releases, one each week for the next four weeks. The first release will be a birthday event that lasts for a limited time, and the other three releases will stay on as permanent additions to the game. </p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>This week, the Terrible Twos Mouse is wreaking havoc, trashing the town of Gnawnia and creating mayhem wherever it goes. Upon discovering this threat, the King immediately sent word to Digby, telling them to send a fleet of Nannybots, the only weapon known to be able to subdue a rampaging Terrible Twos Mouse. Unfortunately, a group of mice ambushed the Nannybot shipment on their way to Gnawnia! Rumor has it that Nannybot parts have been seen on various mice in the back alleys of the city.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>Once you have collected all three parts of the Nannybot you may assemble them here: [http://apps.facebook.com/mousehunt/nannybot.php apps.facebook.com/mousehunt/nannybot.php]</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>The King's guards managed to push the Terrible Twos Mice out onto the Meadow, but the King needs all the help he can get from skilled hunters to keep the little terrors at bay. The Terrible Twos Mouse is in the Meadow for now, but the guards think that if it can't go back into the city, it may well decide to do some traveling. This could mean serious trouble for the rest of the Kingdom!</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>Well, that's all the news for now. Until next time, Happy Hunting!</p>

| − | <blockquote>
| |
| − | <p>Hey, MouseHunters!</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>It has almost been two years since the battle against mice began and we're getting ready to celebrate the occasion!</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>MouseHunt turns two years old on March 7th. As the date approaches, there have been a few rumours floating around Gnawnia about a mischievous Terrible Twos mouse that is on the loose, causing trouble across the kingdom! Although the king's guards have not yet seen these little terrors, we'll be sure to inform you the minute they are spotted so that you can help capture them and restore the peace.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>Though the festivities have not officially started, a few of the mice are already in the mood to celebrate. See if you can spot a which mice are dressed up and ready to party.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>The celebration will officially start when the Terrible Twos mice arrive sometime Tuesday, March 2nd (EST). The official time is unknown, but we'll be sure to announce their arrival via the news section.</p>

| − | === Feedback Friday Recap ===
| |
| − | ''{{date|26|February|2010}}''
| |
| − | <blockquote>
| |
| − | <p>We've received a few inquiries after this week's Feedback Friday, and so, due to popular demand, we're posting a quick text-recap of the video!</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>This week's feedback was divided into two segments: "News for Your Face", "Quit Askin' Us!". News for Your Face was some direct answers to current questions floating around the community. Quit Askin' Us was a few of the questions we have been asked week after week. Afterwards we did a quick rapid-fire question-and-answer where hunters asked a variety of questions.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>'''News for Your Face:'''</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>Q: How long do we have to open our Tiger Heart Chests?</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | :<p>A: The form to open the chests will be available for the next two to three weeks.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>Q: What's up with the new Facebook discussion board layout?</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | :<p>A: The layout was recently changed by Facebook and seems to have introduced a couple of bugs (such as lacking the ability to read beyond the first page of a thread). Love or hate the new layout, we hope the discussion boards are functional again soon. We'll be considering off-site forums further after the release of Longtail.
| |
| − | </p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>Q: Some of the times in my journal are not correct.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | :<p>A: Facebook obtains your computer's time zone settings upon login. If your time appears incorrect in-game, all we can suggest is logging out of Facebook, clearing your browser's cookies and logging back into Facebook.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>Q: How is Longtail coming along?</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | :<p>A: We've been working hard on Longtail and it has been progressing nicely. We are currently working on implementing tournaments (with a few changes) and migrating over user data. We're planning on some large scale beta testing next week. The storyline of MouseHunt has been somewhat "on pause" while we work on this huge release, making us excited to launch Longtail so we can get back to progressing the story line and creating some new challenges for hunters.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | :<p>If you're wondering what Longtail is, you can read a little more about it here: [http://apps.facebook.com/mousehunt/updatepost.php?upid=328 apps.facebook.com/mousehunt/updatepost.php?upid=328]</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>Q: What's planned for MouseHunt's second birthday?</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | :<p>A: Our birthday is March 7th! The first week of March we'll be kicking off an event where a mischievous little mouse is wrecking havoc on the Town of Gnawnia. Player's will have to build a special trap to catch the pest and help restore order to the Kingdom. As with any birthday, there's sure to be plenty of tasty cake!</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | :<p>In addition to the event for the first week, we're planning on doing three content releases during March -- one each week. These three releases will be permanent additions to the game.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>'''Quit Askin' Us:'''</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>Q: What's this I hear about an Onyx Mallet Trap?</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | :<p>A: As hinted at in the description of the Costumed Tiger Mouse, there are plans to release an Onyx Mallet Trap. The stats of the trap and origin of the blueprints are not being released ahead of time but look for this new trap to come out sometime during March.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>Q: Will there ever be a new shadow trap?</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | :<p>A: A new shadow trap is in the works, but not planned for release in the immediate future.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>Q: When is the iPhone app coming out?</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | :<p>A: The iPhone app is still being worked on and is progressing nicely. Look for it after the release of Longtail.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>Q: When's Ronza coming next?</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | :<p>A: Ronza is off in far and distant lands taking a much-needed vacation (no doubt spending all the gold she made selling wares in Gnawnia!). She will most likely not be returning anytime soon.</p>

| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>A few of the Glitchpaw Mice are still on the loose, in various locations across the Kingdom. They are most densely populated in the Gnawnia and Burroughs regions, including the Heart of the Tiger Party. Help end their destructive rampage by tracking them down and catching a few! Despite their nasty behavior, Glitchpaws dislike confrontation-- expect them to slip back into hiding within 24 hours.</p>
| |

| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>The Year of the Tiger is upon us and it seems to have brought Tiger mice to the party who have managed to find one of the keys to open the Tiger Heart Chest -- a Tiger Key.</p>
| |

| − | <p>Cupid Mice have been also been diligently searching for a way to open the chest and have found the Heart Key.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>It seems however that the chest is sealed by more than just two locks. The magic of the party has sealed the chest until the Heart of the Tiger Party has come to an end. The stash of SUPER|brie+ that the chest contains is the perfect party favor to remember all the fun times had at the Heart of the Tiger!</p>

| − | '''Quick Summary:'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Red Envelope mice are dropping a Tiger Heart Chest that contains a stash of the always delicious SUPER|brie+.
| |
| − | * Tiger mice have arrived at the Heart of the Tiger Party who are dropping the Tiger Key required to open the Tiger Heart Chest.
| |
| − | * Cupid mice are dropping the other key required to open the Tiger Heart Chest -- The Heart Key.
| |
| − | * The two keys and a little patience will be required to open the Tiger Heart Chest -- The chest is magically sealed until the end of the Heart of the Tiger Party.

| |
| − | <p>Hello MouseHunters!</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>Due to all the excitement surrounding the Heart of the Tiger party, a few details have slipped through the cracks, leaving some hunters confused. This week during Feedback Friday, we asked hunters if they would like some clarification about the Heart of the Tiger and the response was an overwhelming yes.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>----------</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>Here's a quick run-down of who's at the party (including one new mouse) and what goodies they've brought with them.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>[[Romeo Mouse]]:<br />
| |
| − | Always the life of the party, this mouse brought DLU+ heart shaped candies to charm the lady mice with.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>[[Romeno Mouse]]:<br />
| |
| − | The other mice seem to keep their distance from the Romeno mouse. Between strike-outs with the ladies, he is also snacking on DHU- heart shaped candies.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>[[Cupid Mouse]]:<br />
| |
| − | Cupid mice have made a return and are randomly firing their arrows at partygoers. They leave behind a trail of heart shaped candy with the words "Attraction Bonus" written on them.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>[[Costumed Tiger Mouse]]:<br />
| |
| − | This costumed mouse is dancing wildly at the party, celebrating the Lunar New Year. The Costumed Tigers have brought plenty of spare Tiger Masks to help get everyone in a celebratory mood!</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>[[Dumpling Chef Mouse]]:<br />
| |
| − | What's a party without good food? In addition to catering the party, these mice have brought fun Ox Masks to celebrate with.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>Dressed Up Mice:<br />
| |
| − | Many mice from other regions have traveled to the Heart of the Tiger Party to celebrate! The White Mouse, Dwarf Mouse, Archer Mouse, Student of the Cheese Belt and Master of the Cheese Claw have arrived and are dressed up, ready to celebrate! The Master of the Cheese Claw has brought a third mask to complete the set -- The Rabbit Mask.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>[[Red Envelope Mouse]]:<br />
| |
| − | This swift little mouse has been pillaging the pockets of MouseHunters to stuff red envelopes full of gold! If you're lucky enough to catch one, they may just drop one of their envelopes. The Red Envelope mice have also managed to get their hands on some special Tiger Heart Chests containing SUPER|brie+. The chests are locked tight, so if you recover one you'll need to find the right set of keys to open them up. Hopefully the keys will turn up sometime before the end of the party.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>All of the candies, gifts and masks are fun collectibles to help everyone celebrate, and make hunting more fun!</p>

| − | <p>The mighty pool of water that was once the Festive Comet has recently been acquired by the King and turned into a party venue! If you're the type who can't get enough of a good party then you're in luck. The King (who seems to be blaming Larry) has accidentally double-booked the party venue for both a Valentine's Day party and Lunar New Year party! Twice the party, twice the fun! Party!</p>

| − | <p>So slap on your party hats and head over to the Heart of the Tiger Party where there are a few party mice who are ready to party. The mice at the party have also showed up with a few party favours so keep your party eyes open for some party collectible loot drops. Party!</p>

Check back from time to time during the party to spot when the new party items are available.</p>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <p>Although the addition of collectible items has been welcomed by most everyone, it has led to a little disorganization within the inventory. With the launch of Longtail we are planning to organize these collectible items better within the inventory as well as give players the ability to showcase their collectibles on their hunter profile. Party!</p>

| − | <p>Let the party begin and watch out for those Romeno mice seen crashing the party... They're an easy catch but do not make good company.</p>

| − | <p>Enthusiasm seems to be high within the community and so we thought we would share a couple of screenshots of the progress being made on this update to give everyone an idea about what's going on behind the scenes.</p>

| − | | |
| − | <p>First up, the camp page gets an overhaul. Hunters will be able to switch their base, weapon or cheese via controls available under the image of their trap all without needing to reload a page.</p>

| − | | valign="top" | <div style="font-size:100%"><p>Clicking a thumbnail below the trap image brings up the menu to select a new component</p>
| |
| − | <p>Component menu paginates, scrolling thumnails left/right</p>
| |
| − | <p>Clicking a thumbnail arms that component, without reloading the page</p>

| − | <p>Second is a reorganization to the mice page. As the number of mice grew so did the lack of organization on the mouse page. We have grouped together the mice in a variety of ways to better organize them based on similar weaknesses as well as location.</p>

| − | | valign="top" | <div style="font-size:100%"><p>Mice can be browsed by region or by group.</p>
| |
| − | <p>Mice are grouped together by power-type weaknesses</p>
| |
| − | <p>Still a work-in-progress is a sortable stats tab to quickly see what mouse you have caught the most of, etc.</p>

| − | <p>Longtail is still a work in progress but its development is something we want to include the community in. As progress is made on Longtail we'll be reaching out for feedback via Feedback Friday sessions as well as videos on the application page.</p>

| − | <p>Just a heads up that we have recently seen a large increase in reports of account hijacking.</p>

| − | <p>Remember to keep your Facebook login details secure and never share them with anyone.</p>
| |

| − | <p>Please take extreme caution when downloading anything MouseHunt or Facebook related. We have seen several programs circulating recently that claim to help you in MouseHunt but actually steal your user name and password.</p>
