New Mission Event: Money On The Water

You're running an illicit horserace betting gambling operation, but the police get wind of it and shut it down. The City of Traverse seems like a good place to reopen the business, but getting a grip on the territory won't be easy. Show the City of Traverse's owner you mean business in Mission Event: Money On The Water by 5:00pm PDT on 11/8 to earn the River Otter (159/90)!

Mafia Wars 1 In The House!

Reprinted from Official Mafia Wars Blog:
Thank you, Mafia Wars players, for your concern about the fate of Mafia Wars 1. To be clear, our dedicated team continues to pour its heart into the game. We are very excited about all of the new content and updates we have planned, and about our renewed focus on the top concerns we continue to hear from you, our players. Some of the things on which we are focused include:

• • Bugs & performance issues that impact your game play -- especially those related to fighting.
• • The number & rate of new features and events. We have heard your feedback about there being too much to do in too short a time. We remain dedicated to keeping the game fresh, but will try to do so without making it overwhelming. In fact, you may have already noticed longer timers, fewer events, and breaks between them.
• • The gifting experience – You’ve told us it’s frustrating, difficult, and takes too much time; we aim to improve it.

We can’t fix everything overnight but, rest assured, we will be focusing on these items and any additional player concerns as they arise while also developing new content. We continue to be excited about the future of the original Mafia Wars, and we hope you are too! We are also excited about the addition of Mafia Wars 2 to Zynga’s collection of crime games and encourage you to give it a try. Thank you for your continued passion for Mafia Wars. We look forward to continuing to receive your feedback via the Mafia Wars forum.

The Zombie Apocalypse is upon us!

Mobsters!
It's time to put your fighting skills to the test in a battle for humanity. From 1pm PDT on October 25th to 1pm PDT on November 4th, fight as either a Survivor fending off Zombies or as a Zombie trying to turn Survivors into more of your kind in the Mafia Wars Zombie Apocalypse Fight Event!
Collect Ices Just Like Ice Seasons, But Otherwise Different

• • Instead of a 1-2 week "season," multiple zombie "waves" will occur until the event ends at 1pm PDT on November 4th. Each wave ends when the Zombie plague has overtaken the vast majority (~90%) of the population, which should occur multiple times by November 4th. The exact number of zombie waves that will occur isn't certain, however, as each could take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours, depending on the number of people icing at any given time.
• • At the beginning of each wave, you are assigned the role of Survivor or Zombie and your role is visible to all as an icon next to your name in fight lists. The color of your pop-up windows' borders will remind you of your current role, which will switch at the beginning of each new wave. If you are a Survivor, there is also a chance that you will be turned into a Zombie any time you are iced. In the event that you are turned into a Zombie mid-wave, the ices/points accumulated while you were a Survivor continue to count toward mastering that wave. The item you can receive at the end of each wave is based on your role at the time the wave ends.

Each Role's Goal + How to Maximize Your Score
The goal as a Zombie is to convert Survivors to Zombies by icing them. The goal as a Survivor is to stave off the Zombie Apocalypse by icing Zombies while keeping yourself alive. To help you accomplish this, Zombie Protection and Antidotes will be available for purchase on the fight page and on select pop-ups. While your score will increase for each person you ice during this event, you will receive bonus points for icing players on the opposing side.
Zombie Apocalypse Fight Event Loot
There are many opportunities, depending on your score, to collect loot drop and mastery items for both sides. Collect enough ices to master all 4 of the tiers as a Survivor to earn the Ruby level Apocalypse Bike (125/85), and collect enough ices to master all 4 of the tiers as a Zombie to earn the Ruby level Brain Cage (76/117). The item you can receive at the end of each wave is based on your role at the time the wave ends.
Remember to keep your brain with you at all times,
The Mafia Wars Team

The Bone Yard leaderboard is reset

Why did I lose my progress on the Bone Yard Leaderboard?

 

You may notice at the end of every week, your progress on the Bone Yard Leaderboard resets to 0.  This happens because the Weekly Tournament in the Bone Yard is reset each Sunday.  

 

If you'd like to find out how much time you have left to compete, you can click on the icon for the Skull Chalice, next to the 'Bone Yard' title of the zone.  A message will tell you how long you have until the next reset.

 

After the reset is the perfect time to start fighting your way up the leaderboard!  Now go get 'em!

"Kitty Roundup" mission can't be completed

We are aware that many Mafia Wars 2 players cannot complete the mission called "Kitty Roundup".  The problem happens on Blueberry Meadows, when you click on the flower bed, your avatar cannot reach the flower bed to get the last 5 cats.

The problem is being looked at and we expect to have a solution to it very shortly.  There is no need to send in a ticket about this issue.  When the issue is solved, your avatar will be able to reach the flower bed, the action will complete, and the last 5 cats (for a total of 30) will be given to you.

We thank you very much for your patience in this matter.
