World of Warcraft presently has almost 12-million worldwide players.
Each player pays for a monthly subscription of at least $15 per person generating revenues of almost $200-million per month for a single game.
People generally pay at least $40 for expansion packs in addition to their monthly subscription.
Mafia Wars (and all other Zynga games) are free to play.
The vast majority of its players do not pay for it... not now, not ever.
The burden of it lies entirely in the hands of those who DO pay for it.
As for missions, mini-games, events, modules, etc., the players themselves have said time and time again that they need more to do in the game.
Mafia Wars tries to accommodate all player's needs regardless of whether they pay to play or play for free.
But, I agree... event overload has become hard to deal with at times. And when it has become a burden, once again, the players spoke and Mafia Wars listened.
The greater majority of Mafia Wars players, especially the pay to play people, are fighters and/or in Families. They have very loud voices being mostly the paying representatives of ALL Mafia Wars players. Mafia Wars has tried to work with these people to better the fighting game for everyone.
Mafia Wars TRIES to please everyone. Unfortunately, there IS no pleasing everyone no matter how hard they try.
The integrity and stability of Zynga's servers is primary. It's hard to lay a stable foundation to 17-million+ registered Mafia Wars players with every new event, city, module, etc. that comes out. Slow rollouts are the only way they can guarantee that it won't crash the servers upon release to everyone.
If they offered a $40 CD with the expansions to players... things might be different. Unfortunately, this is not, and can not be, the way it works.

I just want revenge. Is that so wrong?
I just want revenge. Is that so wrong?
I Went To War With Someone Today And By The Time My Page Refreshed The War Was Over And I Lost. I Can Assume That They May Have Been A Bot/Script Player. I Took The High Road Though. After The 8 Hour Clock Reset And I Could Declare War Again I Took The Same Player Back To War And Beat Them. I Should Expect That The Individual That I Targeted Will Likely Want Revenge. Hopefully, I Will Be Ready.
Why were Cuba, Moscow and Bangkok closed? - An explanation
O
On Get Satisfaction, David Reedy Expressed His Insight Into Why Zynga Has Closed A Few Cities. David Also Wrote A Very Nice Description Of The Story-Line And The Neo-Imporium. I Thought That The Following Excert Deserved More Attention And Needed To Be Shared. It's A Good Read. Be Sure To Check Out The Original Thread On Get Satisfaction And Support David.
Fix The Triple Crown Best Operation Exp/Energy Ratio 2.53
Most Operation Jobs have very low experience/energy ratios and the payout often makes it not worth all the effort. There is one Operation that it the exception. Fix The Triple Crown has one job of interest.
Not all of the jobs are ratio worthy but check out the Financier position.
This is a pot of gold hiding in a field of crap. The experience/energy payout is 2.53. You'll have to spend a little bit of your New York cash but this $8,800 is a drop in the ocean. You won't find a better ratio unless you are a very low leveled player.
This is a common Operation so it doesn't take much time to find one. I use theOperation War Hunter by Team Spockholm. This will save you the hassle of going through your news feeds only to find the Operation is full.
The Operation War Hunter scans for Operations that have vacant spots (that same is true with Wars). You have the ability to select which Operations you want the scan to search for. Check "Scan for active operations" the select "Fix the Triple Crown".
In a 5 hour scan, I found 20 of these Operations and most had the Financier job available.
You won't always be happy with your reward. When you are close to leveling but don't have much energy left, this job can help you out.
And once and a while you will get lucky and get a great loot item on top of it.
Thank You
