What Features Would You Like To Have Added To Mafia Wars?
May/103
I know that many of you are like me in that you love playing Mafia Wars and have ideas that you think might improve the game. Today I am going to share some of the ideas that I think would enhance game play and I hope that you will leave comments sharing some of your ideas as well. Once we have put together a list of ideas I will be sending them to Zynga and posting them on the Mafia Wars Forums.
Here are some of the things that I personally thing could be added to the game to make it more fun and less frustrating at times.
Energy Roll Over
I think that if you reach the end of a level and do not use all of your energy it should roll over and be added to the new amount of energy you receive upon leveling up. If telephone companies can roll over minutes surely it would not be a big problem to do so in Mafia Wars.
12-Hour Stamina Packs
Stamina packs available every 12 hours would be great both for Mafia Wars players and Zynga as well. Think about this. If your business model is based on players buying Reward Points to monetize your game would it not make sense to bring them back every 12 hours instead of once per day?
Mafia Auction House
A feature that would allow players to place items up for sale not for real money but in game cash would be a wonderful addition. Nearly all MMO games have this feature and it develops a thriving player driven economy. If you want 1,000 Satellite Phones just buy them on the auction house. This feature would give players a way to equip their mafia and something to do with the billions of dollars that go to waste when an expansion is completed.
Foreign Exchange Center
When we travel to foreign lands in the real world we can simply visit an exchange center at our destination to exchange our currency for native currency. When we do this we pay a fee but have access to the common currency of the area. Why can we not do this in Mafia Wars?
Weekly Jobs
After a player has competed all of the expansions there is really nothing to do and many players become frustrated and either leave the game permanently or go into hiatus until a new expansion arrives. If Zynga wants to keep these players active and thus be able to earn income from them they need to come up with something for them to do. All they need to do is set up a special tier of missions that offer advanced rewards for loyal players. This tier or “hidden expansion” could offer special loot that does not upset the game balance but gives veteran players recognition for their loyalty.
These features would enhance the game for all. Tomorrow I will continue the list and at the end of the week I will condense all of our ideas and send them off to Zynga. If you have an idea please leave a comment or send me an email so I can get your ideas integrated into the message. Perhaps between us we can make Mafia Wars even more enjoyable.

I think another good idea for Mafia Wars is a Godfather points wheel, each day when you play, you can a points system that will show up.. you give the wheel a spin and you win either, points ranging from 1 – 100, a random amount of money, or even to automatically fill up any of the collections for free

All these suggestion would make the game so much better. I want to just copy paste this to their suggestion page and maybe if enough people said the same thing they just might implement your ideas. Great suggestions!!!

It would be nice to see mini packs of some sort for energy packs. To often, I’ve been
in a position where I might have 9 energy left, and 27 points and 0 stamina because I used it all to try and get that level to level up. Purchasing a mini-pack of energy would be something I’d be in favor of, even if the energy is 50 energy it gets you enough to get that level up. I know they have the 8 hour mini pack, but this can be alot of energy if you already have huge amounts of energy.. Lets say your energy is 1000 points, that 8 hour pack gives right around 250 points. If you only need 50 points, you’ve just wasted the 8 hour pack.
