Mafia Wars Treasure Chests

January 22nd, 2010

On Tuesday Zynga released “Treasure Chests” for Mafia Wars. The chests are a way that players can get their hands on a number of fairly sweet items. There is a catch however, the feature is not free. It will cost you some Godfather Points.

To participate in the “Treasure Chest” event you must acquire a Treasure Chest Key. To obtain this item you simply need to complete jobs as normal and you will be presented with a popup that offers you the chance to purchase the key for 9 Godfather points.

One might wonder if purchasing the key and participating in the event is really worth it. It is not my place to tell you if it is or not but I can help you make your decision by giving you a glimpse of the items that you can get if you choose to.

Treasure Chest Items

A Deadly AA-12 Auto Shotgun Weapon

18

A Deadly Boomslang ACR Weapon

45

20

A Deadly Bullet-Proof Berkshire Vehicle

20

36

Deadly Armed Guards Armor

12

28

The above are the items that I have seen so far but may not be a complete list.

The items are very nice and are a must for those of us who are serious collectors and want at least one of everything available in Mafia Wars. If you have the spare Godfather points and want to get some good equipment then by all means jump on the offer. On the other hand there are items in the game that are much better and are completely free. The decision is yours.

Zynga also announced this week that the Bangkok Expansion will be going into beta sometime this week. With as many accounts as I have it is likely I will be able to begin to give you some insight on the expansion early next week. Feel free to leave some comments detailing your experiences if you are part of the beta as well.

Public Enemies Loot Event – Facts and Trivia

December 8th, 2009

Zynga runs many events and for the most part we just look at them as a way to get new items or level faster and could care less about the story behind the event. I don’t know about you but I like to know what is behind the event. Call me nosy if you will.

Since Zynga is running the Public Enemies Loot Event I thought I would dig up some interesting trivia on the main character, John Dillinger.

  • John Herbert Dillinger was born on June 22nd, 1903 in Indianapolis, IN to John Wayne Dillinger and his wife Mary Ellen (Mollie).
  • Dillinger’s first bank robbery took place on June 10th, 1933 in New Carlisle, OH and netted him a whopping $10,000. That was quite a large amount in that time.
  • On June 22nd, 1934 John was given a very special birthday present by the United States, he was named Public Enemy #1.
  • Over the years Dillinger worked with a number of notable criminals including Lester Joseph Gillis (Baby Face Nelson), Homer “Wayne” Van Meter,  and Charles Arhur “Pretty Boy” Floyd.
  • The United States Justice Department offered a whopping $15,000 for the capture of Dillinger or $5,000 for information leading to his arrest. In 1933 the average family income was $11,342.
  • In about one year Dillinger and his associates held up dozens of banks and took c lose to half a million dollars. During that time they killed 10 and wounded 7 others.
  • Dillinger was killed after being set up by the infamous “Woman in Red.” The woman was Anna Sage (real name Ana Cumpanas) who was a former brothel owner from Gary Indiana.
  • Allegedly the Feds cheated Anna Sage out of the $70,000 that they promised her to fingering Dillinger.
  • Dillinger was killed after watching the movie “Manhattan Melodrama” starring Clark Gable and William Powell with his girlfriend, Dolly Hamilton at the Biograph Theater located at 2433 N. Lincoln Ave.
  • The Biograph Theater went out of business in July of 1974.
  • Melvin H. “Little Mel” Pervis was the FBI agent who lead the manhunt for Dillinger. He committed suicide on February 29th, 1960.
  • Dillinger was shot 4 times. The FBI Agents credited with shooting at Dillinger were Charles B. Winstead, Clareence O. Hurt, and Herman E. Hollis.
  • Dillinger died with $7.70 in his pocket.
  • Dillinger’s body was taken to Alexian Brother Hospital and was pronounced dead. The agents laid his body on the lawn in front of the hospital while waiting for the Cook County Coroner’s Office to pick it up.
  • According to the Library of Congress and Bowker’s Books in Print Database 16 songs have been written about Dillinger along with 17 books.
  • On July 25th, 1934 John Herbert Dillinger was laid to rest at Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis Indiana.

While these facts may not be helpful when playing Mafia Wars they give you a bit of insight into the may who was Public Enemy #1 in 1934 and has been the subject of many songs, books, and motion pictures over the years.

A Super Easy Way To Get Limited Edition Rare Items

October 12th, 2009

One of the things that many players would love to have is some limited edition items, equipment, and vehicles. For instance a buddy of mine stopped by and we were looking at some of the equipment that I have on one of my oldest accounts. He asked how I got some of the equipment I have.

He was looking was looking at an item that I have called a “Stolen Mail Truck” and asked how I got it. For those of you who would like to know the stats are:

Stolen Mail Truck
10 Attack
20 Defense

Getting items like this and others is really quite easy. Here is the step by step process.

Step 1 – Log into your Social Network Account

Step 2- Log into Mafia Wars

Step 3 – Go to your Mafia Wars home page

Step 4 – Go to the bottom of the page and find “Join the Mafia Mailing List”

Step 5 – Enter your email in the text box and hit submit

Step 6 – Check your email for a message entitled “Welcome to Mafia Wars: Confirm Your Address”

Step 7 – Click where it says Click here to confirm

Step 8 – You will be taken back to your Mafia Wars page on your social network and you should see:

Congratulations! The Godfather has given you a rare Stolen Mail Truck for verifying your email address.

You now have the limited edition rare item. Now when Zynga decides to offer a limited edition item you will receive notification right in your mail box.

For the most part the items that you will get in this manner will not be spectacular with high attack and defense and are a collectable item than functional. Hey but every little bit helps in the long run.

From what I have been told by Zynga when a new item is sent to their mailing list the old one will no longer be available. Perhaps there might be some special recognition in the form of an achievement down the road for those of us who have collected all of the mailing list items so you better grab yours while they are still available.

All Aboard for Moscow

September 24th, 2009

Well ladies and gentlemen it seems that Mafia Wars Moscow is upon us.

As you may have read in earlier articles I just cannot wait to get started in the old Soviet Republic. Unfortunately I was not on the testing team so I really cannot give you any “insider” information on this one, but to keep you as well informed as possible here is an article that was originally posted on 09-23-2009 at games.com.


Mafia Wars Moscow: Exclusive First Look!

Posted Sep 23rd 2009 6:00AM by Libe Goad @ games.com

Mafia Wars: Moscow, the second expansion to the mob-themed Facebook game Mafia Wars, lets players expand their criminal empire into brand new territory. Mafia Wars publisher Zynga gave us an exclusive sneak peek at the new expansion, set to hit a browser near you September 24.

The expansion’s basic game mechanics will remain unchanged. Score cash and experience points by taking on missions and fighting rival mafias; use the cash to buy weapons, power-ups and properties; and use the experience points to level up your mobster’s energy levels or fighting skills as you see fit.

The biggest difference in this expansion? Mafia Wars Senior Product Manager David Kahn says it will have, “a new look and feel,” and, “will be much harder than other expansions we released before, more geared to higher level players, level 70-plus.”
As soon as you arrive in Moscow, you’re forced to choose sides. Will you help the the Vory v Zakone, a group of old-school Russian mobsters, or the Mafiya, former KGB and military officers who have learned that organized crime pays far more rubles than a government job? The loot items for the missions will be different depending on which faction you go with, so choose wisely.

Also unlike the other Mafia Wars scenarios, missions will be broken down into chapters, and you will not be able to see the next set of missions until you complete a chapter and defeat the boss at the end. Players will also have to rely on friends more than before to defeat these high-powered crime lords.

As for achievements, Moscow will have six new achievements, five new businesses, six new collections and 50-plus Russian-themed weapons, armor and vehicles. Some of those specialty items will include an AK-47 type gun, specialty night-vision goggles, and of course, classic Russian nesting dolls.

Of course, we had to ask, “Why Moscow?” Kahn says in addition to Moscow’s mobbed up history, they chose the city because that’s what the fans wanted (via an online voting campaign).

The fans also picked the location for the next two Mafia Wars expansions — Asia and the Western US — but details are scarce since Zynga developers are busy asking players what features they want to see next. Now that’s what we call social gaming.
Mafia Wars Moscow launches Thursday, September 24. As they say in Russia, Увидем Вас там! (we’ll see you there).

At the time of this posting the much anticipated expansion has not yet gone live. I am saving my energy today so I can jump in as soon as it is though.
Today I borrowed and article from another writer (with full credit given of course) but rest assured I will be digging deep into the dark recesses of the Russian under world so I can get some information back to you as quick as I can.
