Out Of Time Nerf

We regret to announce that, due to necessary server maintenance, Mission Event: Out Of Time ended earlier than originally planned. Instead of 3pm PDT on 9/13, the Mission Event ended at 4pm PDT today, 9/12. As consolation, we will be awarding the mastery item to those of you who managed to reach the last two quests in the event. An in-game message will notify you when this happens.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to your game play.

 When Zynga Released The Out Of Time Mission We Should Have Realized That They Were Hinting To Us That Many Of Us Were Going To Literally Run Out Of Time. They Were Hinting To Us To Get This (*insert dirty word here) Done. As The Player Base Continues To Drop Zynga Continues To Alienate Players. 

At Least They Are Compensating Those Who Made It To The last 2 Quests Of The Mission. I Hope They Also Have Given You The 3 kit Vests (110 Defense) And the Experience Points You Would Have Gotten In Part 5. 

Jan And Dean Sang A Song Called "Surf City". Zynga Is Apparently Head-Quartered In Nerf City. Coincidence?   

Atlantic City Is History

 

Another City Has Now Faded Into Mafia Wars History. Atlantic City Is Gone. Why? Why Was It Not Announced Sooner So Those Of  Us Who Didn't Complete It Could Of At Least Had A Small Chance To. 

After Bangkok Closed I Rushed To Complete Las Vegas Thinking It Would Be Next. I Then Worked On Italy (Which I Don't Have Done yet). Thanks Zynga For Pissing Off Another Million Players. 

Will Chicago Be Mafia Wars Saving Grace

With 983,702 Mafia Wars Players Playing In Each Of The Last 2 Consecutive Days And Only About 12,000 More Than An All-Time Low Only A Week Ago Will Chicago Bring Life Back Into Mafia Wars? My Guess Would Be No. There Will Be A False Illusion Of An Increase When Chicago Opens That Will Be Due To Those Players Who Have Energy Accounts Farming The Hell Out Of Chicago. The Numbers Will Taper Back Off Within A Month Or So Of Chicago's Opening. That Is, Once All The Elite Players Have Maxed Their Accounts With Chicago Loot. Overall, This Is Not A Good Thing For Zynga Nor It's Players. 

The Reality Of The Situation Is That Zynga Needs To Slow Things Down, Not Speed Them Up For The Whining Credit Card Players. The More Zynga Speeds Things Up The Less Players There Seem To Be. 

There Seems To Be No End In Sight For The Longest Free Fall Ride In History. There Are Rumors Floating Around About Zynga Closing The Doors On Mafia Wars Sometime In 2012. I Can't Blame Them If They Did If The Numbers Continue Dropping As Quickly As They Are. As You Can See In The Chart Above The Monthly Active Users Have Dropped Nearly 1 Million Within 1 Months Time. 

Instead Of Crying For More High End Loot Why Don't You Credit Card Players And Elite Players And Other Players Start Banning Together To Increase The Player Base As Opposed To Contributing To It's Demise? I, Personally, Don't Care For Trading Loot But I Can See How This Might Help Keep Some Players From Quitting. That's Just A Small Idea That Won't Fix the Entire Problem. 

Instead Of Begging For Things Like A Daily Timer On The Family Progression Try Getting Zynga To Fix The Weekly Timer So Those Who Can't Play Everyday Will Continue To Play At Least Once A Week Or More. 

Instead Of Beating Jeff The Knife 200 Times Within One To Two Weeks Support A Weekly Timer For The Boss Fight As Well. Try Fighting For Things That Give EVERY PLAYER A Chance Instead Of Fighting For What Keeps You Interested For The 20 Minutes It Takes You To Complete So You Get Bored And Beg Zynga For More. 

I Know You Will Say That If You Did These Things Then You Would Quit Yourself. I Ask Why? You Shouldn't Quit Neither. There Just Needs To Be A Balance. There Just Needs To Be Some Fairness.  

Atlantic City Condemned!

Mafia Wars bids farewell to Atlantic City very soon (as early as tonight), including via cell phones and http://m.mafiawars.com, as we make room on the Travel list for a much more exciting destination. Stay tuned!

Yes, Another City Is Closing. Atlantic City This Time. Why Bother Playing This Game If You Can't Complete A Damn Thing. When Will These Fools Realize That There Will Be Noone Left If They Keep Dick-Teasing Us! Even Playing Field My Ass!

CUBA LOCKED DOWN

Well, It's Locked Down AGAIN. We Knew It Was Going To Be So No Surprises This Time. Either Way, None Of The Cities Should Be Locked Down. Whatever One Player Had A Chance To Do All Others Should Also Have A Chance To Do. Otherwise, There Is No Such Thing As An Even Playing Field.

How To Remove Inactive Mafia Wars Players

Zynga Has Provided Us With A View Ways To Remove Players From Our Mafia's.  

One Way To Remove Players From Your Mafia Is To Click On The "My Family" Link. Then Click The "Recruit" Link. Then Click Where It Says "Remove Non-Friends From My Mafia". This Will Bring Up The Following:

After You Click Continue You Will Be Taken Back To The Recruit Page And You Will See Something Like This;

If You Happen To Know A Specific Player That You Wish To Remove From Your Mafia You Could Always Go To Their Profile Page And Click "Remove From Mafia".

If You Are Using The FBMWADDON Then You Go To Your Green Arrow And Find Where It Says "Mafia Wiper".

Once You Click Where It Says "Mafia Wiper" a Page Will Pop-Up Like The Following;

This Shows You How Many Of Your Facebook Friends (And Who They Are) That No-Longer Plays Mafia Wars. I Recommend (If You Don't Personally Know These People) Clicking Where It Says "FB Profile" And Looking Over The Suspected Persons Profile To See If They Are No Longer Playing Mafia Wars Before You Click "Remove". If You Happen To Find That These Players Still Play Mafia Wars Then You Should Click "Ignore". 

If You Use Spockholm Mafia Tools You Can Use The "List FB Friends" Bookmarklet To Find Out Which Of Your Friends Play Mafia Wars. 

Then You Can Use The "Cleaner" Or "Remove FB Friends" Bookmarklets To Remove Those Deadbeats That No Longer Play Mafia Wars.

Now That You've Removed The Loafer's You Can Get Back To Some Serious Mafia Business.
