Players Advisory Committee Announced

Zynga Has Announced, On The Official Mafia Wars Blog, That The Mafia Wars Player Advisory Committee (PAC) Has Officially Been Launched.

We are excited to announce the launch of the second Mafia Wars Player Advisory Committee (PAC). The PAC comprises of a focussed group of players chosen to assist in the communication between Zynga and the Mafia Wars community. The committee consists of a few members of the erstwhile PAC as well as a some new members. Membership to the committee is for a tenure of 3-6 months, at the end of which, a few members will make way for other players to be inducted in the committee. Members will be invited to be a part of the committee over multiple tenures. This is to ensure that the PAC remains a smaller & more focussed group, while also providing a chance for more players to be a part of this initiative. 

Members of the PAC will represent the voice of the larger community & report their questions, concerns and suggestions to Zynga. This information is gathered from various sources wich include, but not limited to, the forums, the PAC members, chat conversations, facebook walls, and various other locations where players communicate with each other. The PAC will also will also help the Mafia Wars team fix bugs and glitches within the game.

Membership to the PAC is completely voluntary & the members do not receive any compensation for the time, effort and dedication that they put into helping to make Mafia Wars more enjoyable for everyone. They do not receive RP's or any other items in-game, or any privileges outside the game for being a member of the Committee. 

We welcome the members of the new committee & thank them for their time & effort in helping us in enhancing the gameplay experience of Mafia Wars.

Zynga Stated, In The Exert Above, That “The PAC comprises of a focussed group of players chosen to assist in the communication between Zynga and the Mafia Wars community”. If You Are Like I Am You Are Wondering Who These Players Are.

 

Zynga States That “The committee consists of a few members of the erstwhile PAC as well as a some new members”. That Still Tells Me Nothing, Really.

 

I Want To Know Who They Are And How To Contact Them If I Have Issues Or Problems Or Even Ideas Or Suggestions For The Game. Zynga Tried To Answer That Question By Stating “information is gathered from various sources wich include, but not limited to, the forums, the PAC members, chat conversations, facebook walls, and various other locations“. All That Tells Me Is That As A Player Of Mafia Wars I Am Just As Stuck In My Game Now As I Was Before The New PAC. I Have My Facebook Wall, The Mafia Wars Forum, E-Mailing Support, And The Occasional Live Chat With Support.

 

So Really Zynga, Who Are These Players? How Did You Choose Them? How Do You Get Selected To Be A PAC Member? How Will This Help ALL The Players If We Don’t Know Who They Are Nor How To Contact Them?

 

Does This New ‘PAC’ Consist Of Anyone Who Does Not Spend Money On The Game? Are The Non-Cash Spending Players Even Represented At All? How Do We Know? Where Can We Verify?

 

Why Are There No Links To A Website Nor Facebook Page For The PAC Provided?

 

In Conclusion, Essentially Mafia Wars Rolls Along As Usual As The DAU Will Continue To Slide Into The ‘Twilight Zone’.
