Paris: The Last Day

Share:


Zynga has found a more effective way to get us to buy reward points. It's called a Challenge Mission. Unlike an annoying pop-up, it can't be ignored or forgotten once it is closed. On April 27th, when I read the following post on the Mafia Wars Official Fan Page, I assumed I would have plenty of time to finish this "new and improved" promotional job event and even thought it would be fun. It wasn't and I lost interest.
Travel to Paris and work on completing the first ever Challenge Mission in Mafia Wars! Watch for random drops of Parisian Maps when doing jobs or fights - these will help you along the way. If you run out of maps, simply visit the Marketplace and restock. Play now and conquer Paris today!
My Paris Stats: Collect 23 Maps in 15 hrs but the mission ends in 14 hrs. I only have 5 maps.

I'm not alone. The Zynga Forum Discussion Boards are full of topics regarding this issue. By adding an Achievement Badge for completing Paris and ensuring the maps could not be gifted or traded, the obsessive types have no choice but to buy reward points. I have a game card somewhere in my house and will be searching for it soon. We will see if they do the right thing and give us a time extension as many on the Forum Boards have asked Zynga to do.

  1. Now you that's not going to happen. That would defeat the whole purpose of doing the event. And if they do extend it, everyone that spent money on it should demand a refund.
