Dear Mafia Wars Players,

We’ve given the Godfather page a makeover with the introduction of the Marketplace! Our goal was create a page with a fresh new look; something that’s easy to navigate and that’ll contribute to your game play.

With the new Marketplace, you’ll never miss out on another Limited Edition item on sale. We’ll have easy-to-find hourly sales specials, and you’ll be able to find the coolest loot from the categorized pull-down menus. Get the scoop on what the most coveted items in the game are by checking out the ‘Best Sellers’ and ‘Hot and New’ categories.

There’ll be no more stress for you about how to spend your Reward Points. Now you’ll have items recommended especially for you based on previous purchases and your personal style of game play. Just check out the ‘Recommended for You’ section and you’re all set. If you’re a fighter, you’ll be shown the best attack weapons for the game, and if you’re all about protecting your holdings, we’ll showcase our awesome defense items.

The Marketplace now accepts international payments, and offers over 20 different types of currencies to accommodate our international players. To celebrate the grand opening, we are giving you 2 free Reward Points to use. Simply click here to collect your points!

We have all this for you, and much, much more. Go play Mafia Wars and get ready to be blown away by the Marketplace!

All The Best,

To celebrate Valentine’s Day, Mafia Wars is getting ready to lavish you with cool new game updates for our Valentine’s Day Event starting Tuesday, February 9th. First off is a new featured job – the Valentine’s Day Massacre.  This featured job will be played similarly to NYE featured job – it’ll be broken up into three special jobs for you to choose from that each have timers, and you’ll be awarded with  unique Valentine’s Day bonuses for each stage you complete. Finish the featured job for a cool mastery item! Because we want everyone to feel the love and get the mastery item from the event, we’ll be offering some extra help. You’ll be able to use Reward Points to speed up the job timers, and will also have the option to ask for help from your mafia.

Our next present for you is our new Valentine’s Day Collection. As you do jobs, fight, or work on completing the featured job, you’ll be rewarded with Limited Edition loot drops. Vault this exclusive collection to get the coveted Cupid’s Arrow. A hint for you – one of the collection items is a gift item, so be generous with your mafia and maybe they’ll send you that special Valentine in return. And if you want another achievement to brag about, master the featured job and vault the Valentine’s Day Collection to get the “Love Hurts” achievement on top of all your other rewards.

We’ll also be bringing you a new Gift Safehouse – Mafia Love Edition. Play and find out if your mafia loves you. Ask your mafia members for gifts and work on filling up the Mafia Love Meter. If your members are loyal, they’ll send you items that’ll raise your Love Meter when you open them.  But be sure your rank is high in your mafia – if your members choose to disrespect you and send you a gag gift, your Love Meter will drop once your gift is opened! Fill up your Love meter to 100% and get a Limited Edition item to use in the game.

We hope you’ll love your gifts and that everyone will be able to join us for a very special Mafia Valentine’s Day this year!

Sincerely,

We have more cool updates coming your way on Mafia Wars! This time we're revamping the New York properties. We'll be introducing some changes to promote the return of robbing, so read on and check out the upgrades we're planning on making...

1) We'll have properties switched to Flash mode, so make sure you have the latest version (http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/).

2) We'll be getting rid of 'undeveloped space'. The costs of undeveloped space will be folded into the costs of the updated properties. If you currently have any undeveloped properties, it’ll be sold off and you'll have your money returned to you.

3) Instead of owning 30 Mega Casinos, you will have 1 Mega Casino, but it will have been upgraded 30 times.

4) You won't be able to sell properties anymore, but you can continue to upgrade them. If you still haven't earned your "Cashing Out" achievement, do it soon!

5) All properties will have the same payout over time that they currently do, but some of the rates will change. They will take between 8 hours and 2 days to fill up. For example, say you currently owned 2 mega casinos. They produce $1,800,000 every 3 hours for you to collect. In the new system, you will now own a single level 2 Mega Casino, and it will produce $28,800,000 every 48 hours for you to collect.

6) You can only collect on your property once it is done producing. There will be progress bars and countdown timers letting you know how long it will be before you can collect on each property.

7) Properties will no longer "shut down". *Note: This only affects users who have started playing in the last few months.

8) People who have Rackets will be folded into the new system as well, but that change will take place a week or two after the launch of the new properties.

An important point we want to emphasize is that you will NOT be losing any money when we change the New York properties; it will all stay within the game. These upgrades are going hand-in-hand with the robbing feature that we'll be bringing back due to popular demand.

Stay tuned, there's more to come!
