Accessing the Central Mainframe in Mafia Wars

Zynga keeps adding new features to Mafia Wars and I for one and quite happy that the do so as regularly as they do. Of course as a social network game Mafia Wars suffers from the same perils that all of the other ones do. That Peril is the fact that they are all designed with those who want fast action in mind. Unlike Massively Multi-Player Online Games, social network games have to depend on quantity over quality.

One of the newest features that have arrived lately is called “Central Mainframe Access.” I am unsure if everyone has access to this feature or if it is some kind of beta thing because I have been told by some long time players that they have not seen anything about it in game.

To get access to the mainframe keep doing missions and eventually (I hope) you will be presented with a pop up that says, “You’ve obtained a secret code.” You cant miss it when it pops. On the screen you will be given a code that you need to write down because you will be using it each day to access the mainframe.

On the Mafia Wars home page you will be able to access the mainframe once per day. When you do, simply enter your code and you will receive bonuses. Today I was given +3 Attack but other players have gotten +3 Defense. I do not know if these two bonuses are all you can get but I would hope that there are a number of different ones.

I know what you are thinking. Once you have the code you can use it on all of your accounts (if you have multiple), but you would be incorrect. The code is tied to the account that it is given to. While I do not know if there are any consequences other than it not working when using the code on another account, there could be so play it safe.

Zynga is really good at coming up with content and other little features that work wonderfully to keep a social network game up and running. They seem to go the extra mile to keep their players happy for the most part and that is rare in many games lately. If you haven’t gotten your code yet keep on trying I am fairly sure that this isn’t some kind of beta or limited thing.
