Master the Prized Pigs

Reprinted with permission from "The Official Mafia Wars Blog"

Are you ready to pig out? Because it's time to go whole hog. Okay, okay. We'll stop with the pig puns. So listen up, party people. Get ready for the Prized Pigs coming this evening.

Here's how Prized Pigs work. For three days only, you can send pigs to your mafia and request pigs from your mafia. There are 3 Prized Pigs to collect with a new pig being released each day. Request pigs by posting a Facebook feed or send requests to your mafia.

Each Prized Pig has 3 levels of mastery - bronze, silver, and gold. When you collect enough pigs to complete mastery, you earn some sweet high-powered items to get stronger. Collect all the pigs for Gold Mastery to get the grand prize Oinker Vehicle (100 ATT, 128 DEF). Get ready for pigs and play Mafia Wars now.

We hear you! Vegas will be later!

Due to an overwhelming response to allow more time for people to make arrangements, we are post-poning our Mafia Wars: MADE Las Vegas convention until early 2011!

http://zyngablog.typepad.com/.a/6a01156fcaccc3970c013487b10bdf970c-pi

We’ll be making an announcement in the next week about the new dates and potentially new location. The great part about this date change is it will allow for longer planning and actually lower the ticket pricing, a savings which will be reflected in our next ticket sales.

This is going to be one amazing event done up as only Mafia Wars can do it! In the mean time...

Free Property Upgrade

It's going to be a good weekend because this weekend begins with the phrase: Free Upgrade. Sarting Sept. 25 at 12:00 AM PST, you will be able to upgrade any Property in any city once for free. Save your reward points for some sweet limited edition loot and take advantage of upgrading one of your new properties - an Armory in New York or a Casino Fountain in Las Vegas - or stepping up one of your other properties. Make sure to check out your properties this weekend. This offer ends Sept. 26 at 11:59 PM PST.

Secret Drops

The secret has been revealed. Now when you rob rivals or collect from Properties, there's a good chance you'll pick up a Secret Drop, which gives you a boost. A Secret Drop holds many wonderful and amazing things like fight boosts to help you kick ass, boosts to collect twice as much money from your properties, and skill points. These Secret Drops can be shared with your friends and they can share them with you. Just be aware that you can only open a maximum of 3 cases per day.

Prized Pigs

Get ready to pig out because the Prized Pigs are coming. You all had a healthy appetite for Pigntas and Super Pigntas, but you'll want to save room for Prized Pigs. This will be a limited time event where you must collect and master Prized Pigs. Master all three Prized Pigs to become a true porker and earn the Oinker vehicle (100 Attack, 128 Defense). We know you're salivating over the Oinker because those stats are making us hungry, too.

New Reward For Installing Game Toolbar!

Facebook trying to make games less annoying

Facebook users who don't play FrontierVille or other games won't have to endure game-related posts in their feeds.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

Facebook is trying to limit updates about games, such as FarmVille, that some users find annoying
According to Facebook, users either "love playing games or hate them"
Apps will be automatically bookmarked and reordered based on actual usage
Gaming-related notifications will now be less aggressive than before

(Mashable.com) -- John wants to share some level seven Energizing Lotion in FarmVille! How many times have you seen a similar sentence in your Facebook News Feed and either wondered what it means, or (if you're familiar with Farmville and other popular Facebook games) removed the message in disgust?

Facebook is aware of the problem. While some users -- 200 million of them, revealed Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg at a Gaming Event in Palo Alto -- enjoy playing games on the service, others aren't interested.

According to Facebook, users either "love playing games or hate them," and the company so far didn't have "the right tools to enable developers to grow their games while at the same time providing a great user experience for non-gamers."

Thus, Facebook has devised a plan to make games less annoying to non-users, and more engaging to gamers at the same time. The first part is relatively easy: Facebook will simply be showing application stories only to users who are already engaging with the application, meaning that people who don't play Farmville won't have to endure Farmville-related posts in their feeds.

If Facebook decides you are interested in games, it will be displaying full game stories (instead of collapsed ones) in the News Feed, as well as adding prominent counts to those stories to highlight tasks that need to be completed within a game.

Bookmarks will get smarter -- apps will be automatically bookmarked and reordered based on actual usage. Finally, Facebook will start notifying users when their friends start playing a game (in addition to highlighting their activity within the game).

From the users' perspective, these are welcome changes, especially for non-gamers who won't be pestered by constant game-related notifications. From the game developers' end, it remains to be seen whether these improvements will alleviate the fact that gaming-related notifications will now be less aggressive than before.
