Double the Loot, Triple the Mastery

Zynga makes it official with a post on their blog When Vegas got Triple mastery, Italy accidentally got Triple mastery as well, Rather then fix it right away, or because its going to take some time to fix, they have acknowledged it instead, and decided to let it slide for another 24 hours, where as the Vegas Triple mastery will continue to the end of the week
So for those still working their way through either Vegas or Italy, I think its time to make the best of it whilst you still can!

Whilst they where at it they added a single one line entry to the end about another event coming up this weekend "But wait, there’s more! Double fight loot will be dropping this weekend, brought to you by your friendly neighborhood Player Advisory Committee! What?!? Yep, another reason to get excited! Enjoy!"


I'm still waiting on more details of what the event is going to be like, and if there is going to be any NEW loot offered for the weekend.... but we might have to wait to the weekend to see what happens!

Cheaters never prosper!

Over the last 6 months, we have all noticed that Zynga has been banning more and more account, well they are finally making it "public knowledge" that they are Banning accounts for "Botting" as well as fraud infractions!
This post when up on the official blog just a few minutes ago!

Before the next rumour stats about the use of scripts, let me just point out two words

"abusive botting"

Not scripts, but BOTS, a script performs a simple repeative task over and over, like doing 300 jobs, fighting 1000 fights, or killing one of the re-healing bosses in Brazil, a BOT plays the game for you..... you click go it does jobs, fights, collects your properties... it does everything in one application!

So if your out there and useing a BOT, Just make sure its not Abusive! If your not using a Bot, then consider yourself on the "safe" side of the lines

Either way im glad to see the game speed up with some of these players being banned and lowering the server load! Anything to make Mafia Wars faster and Fairer in a good thing in my books!

Mini Energy packs are being removed

Yep you heard right, they are being pulled and replaced with the standard 125% energy packs we had in the past.... Going backwards anyone?
The Major difference is now they are going to be on a 8 hour timer rather then the 23 hour timer they use to be on.....

At the same time Zynga have announced that they are bringing back gifting events, BUT less gifts needed to be exchanged to complete the event, Personally I'm really sick of these gifting events, EVEN if we need less gifts sure the first few needed 24 gifts per gold mastery, then it was 28 gifts each time around.
What will it be this time? 2, 4, and 8? 14 gifts in total? that's still 126 Gifts to triple mastery a stupid event to "keep up with the Joneses"

How about changing the events for something with less GIFTING required!
