MouseHunt: Daily Raffles, Tidal Fisher & Realm Ripper mice

Quotes from Dave Vanderburg (MH chief developer)
On the 21st September 201o, a daily raffle tab has been added to the camp page where a new prize item will be up for grabs each day. To start, this will be various amounts of Super|Brie+.
Hunters can get tickets for the daily raffle in three ways:
  • Purchase tickets with gold (the cost of the ticket will vary with the prize)
  • Each of your friends can send you one free ballot a day
  • If you send a friend a free ballot, you'll get free bonus ballot in return
To send a friend a ballot you either view their hunter's profile and click the send daily ballot button, or you can view your friends page where the same send ballot button will appear to the right of each of your friends.

Therefore, a number of hunters in the Forbidden Grove and Balack's Cove increased, the process of manually moving thousands of hunters to a new location all at once was becoming increasingly problematic.
When hunting in the Forbidden Grove a new custom heads-up display will be visible showing how long until the grove will close. When the heavy stone gates close, the area is filled with a dense black fog and a new mouse, the Realm Ripper will be present. This mouse is extremely weak to Arcane traps and upon being captured will transport the hunter to the Acolyte Realm.Balack's Cove has been given a similar upgrade, where catching a Riptide mouse will wash the hunter out into the Jungle of Dread. When hunting in the cove a custom heads-up display is also displayed showing the current height of the tides. The tides have three possible heights; Low, medium and high. During low tide no Riptide mice are present, during medium tide the Riptides become abundant and finally during high tide only Riptide mice can be encountered. Low tide lasts the longest, while high tide is very short. Due to the Riptide mice concentrating their power on raising the tide, they're a little weaker than they were before. A new mouse has also been added to the cove that can only be encountered during low tide to keep a similar variety of the mice you can catch in Balack's Cove.
