New Journals
In today's update the new journal system is released. The key new feature is that you'll now have a 'feed' page showing the journal entries from everyone on your friends list. From the feed page you can also see the number of comments on each of the journal posts, so it's easy to see any 'hot' topics.
With it being so much easier to read your friends journals there's much more reason to be writing your own. So if you haven't written a journal update before, now is the perfect time to begin!
Later this week...
The new journal is just the beginning of what will be an exciting week in theHunter. Towards the end of the week we launch a major new feature, and add a much-anticipated new item to Doc's Outfitters.
First up is our competition system. These include contests such as Top Turkey and Bull's Best, and allow you to compete against everyone else in the EHR.
From this weekend you'll be able to sign up to and hunt, for free, with winners receiving prizes, often in em$!
These competitions, along with many others, will run periodically awarding additional prizes including a trophy which can be proudly displayed on your profile page using the new trophy widget. The competition system also keeps players up to date whilst hunting, with messages detailing any changes to the top places of any competitions you are in.
Competitions are the perfect way to see who's the cream of the crop, top of the heap!
Secondly the much anticipated item hardly needs an introduction, it's the .300 bolt action rifle. This is a truly epic addition to any hunting inventory. It provides increased accuracy and stopping power over longer ranges than the .270 or .243, making it perfect for elk, but also a great weapon if you like to hunt Mule or Whitetail.
Happy Hunting
