-:''For best results, maximize the Wildlife Audio, and mute everything else!''
+The different required sounds are a common misconception ("Because sound X worked for me, it must be the correct one"). Providing any sound is enabled, the cicadas will sound.  Pick whatever is most tolerable to you.  Best suggestions are to enable the Building sounds but nothing else, or interface sounds but nothing else, since both these will generally make no sound whilst you are out hunting, allowing a clear audible once in range of a Cicada.  <br /><br />

 Once you received your cage, 1 [[Linen]] and 4 [[Boards]] are required to actually place your cage on the ground. Once you place a cage, you will receive one point per minute from it until the last cicada is taken from it and it crumbles. You cannot take a cicada from your own cage, nor can you pick up your cage once placed.
-The number of cicadas required by the UBody for a cage varies automatically with the number of cages that exist in the world. It can drop to as low as 4 or, on rare occasions, even rise above 7. Regardless, the cages they hand out will always contain 7 cicadas.

 When you find someone's cage, you can take a single cicada from it. You will gain a point for every minute since the last time a cicada was taken, or since the cage was built if you are the first to find it.
 A cage initially has 7 cicadas in it -- when the last one is taken, the cage crumbles. As a matter of courtesy, it is polite to /chat the owner of a cage you've crumbled and tell them where it was. This helps him know which of his cages were well or badly hidden. Players receive no automatic notice when one of their cages crumbles, and can only manually check how many cages they have in total, not their specific locations.

 The way you advance up from speed 8 has changed now.  In order to get speed 9 you must advance in points more then 1 time now.  Below is the info Teppy gave to me in a dev call now.
