Lucky Stash Winners Rate Drops As DAU Drops

If you are looking for true ‘In-Game’ evidence about the negative affects that the declining player base is having on the game then look at the list of Past Jackpot Winners of the Lucky Stash.

If you look closely at the list above then you will see that it has been more than a year since a Lucky Stash winner has won more than 70,000 RP’s. In addition, there has not been 2 Jackpot winners in the same month since August 2nd and 23rd in 2011.

The current Jackpot is sitting around 22,800+ RP’s.

It has now been 3 weeks since the last Jackpot winner won the Jackpot on June 29th, 2012.

June 20th, (a month ago) was the last time the DAU has seen 400,000 Daily Users of Mafia Wars. According to AppData.com The DAU has been as low as 340,000 4 times during the past month. This occurred on July 6th, 7th, 8th, and 16th. Currently the DAU sits at 360,000.

It almost appears that Zynga is deliberately trying to drive down the player base. I guess they think we will go play the Ville instead.

Maybe some will long enough to get the Ville-ocity…… Maybe some won’t bother. Maybe some will quit playing ALL Zynga’s games.

And then it will be too late for the brain surgeons that work at Zynga to realize that if you want to make money and generate that revenue that makes your shareholder’s happy you NEED PLAYERS! AND NOT JUST THE ONES WITH CREDIT CARDS!

ROBBING SPREE SCAM!! TOTAL BULLSHIT!!

I liked this event at first but now it has become disappointingly apparent that in order to do any good at all in this event you HAVE TO peak before you choose to rob a house. For my last six robbing boards the first rob has been an alarm or a 2x alarm.

You’d think that with 25 houses to choose from and only (up to) 6 alarms hidden within some of the houses the odds of not finding an alarm without peaking would be in your favor on a new board. With this event the odds of finding an alarm without peaking first appears to be 100% in favor of Zynga.

This is Zynga’s way of trying to FORCE you to buy the Knob Wrenches.

This is why I WILL NEVER PLAY ANY ZYNGA LEGALIZED GAMBLING GAME! IT WOULD BE OVERWHELMING FIXED AND NOT A GAME OF CHANCE!!

Coming Soon; Riches To Rags Mission

If you continue playing Zynga’s games you will soon be going from ‘Riches To Rags’. That is, the next limited time mission will be called ‘Riches To Rags’. Is Zynga trying to tell us something?

Lisa Jenning returns once again to Mafia Wars. I guess her Garage Sale was a success.

Lisa Jenning also appeared in the Black Market mission.
