I know I'm behind when The Mafia Wars Fan Page reports something before I do! It's another Double Fight and Double Mastery Weekend. Last weekend they called it Double The Fun, this weekend it's Vegas Jackpot.
It seems Zynga would like to increase their number of daily users on the weekends. I don't have exact numbers but have read that many of the Facebook game applications show a decrease in the number of users during the weekends. This is most likely due to the fact that many play the games to pass the time while they are at work. Hey Zynga, stop making Mafia Wars feel like a full time job and maybe the players who haven't quit yet wouldn't feel the need to take the weekends off. Here are the Mafia Wars Application statistics for the past 2 weeks (image from facebakers.com). The number of active users is still declining. It doesn't look like these promotional events are helping.
These Double Fight and Double Mastery promotions don't get me too excited. My account is still locked in Bangkok and I'm no where near having 500 of the high end fighting loot items. If I had 450 Rhinoceroses, maybe I would look forward to this weekend. I've learned to accept that I won't be maxing out my overall attack and defense scores and that's OK.
The mention of collecting Vegas Loot as a special bonus does have me interested. I hope it's something good but I'm not expecting much. Maybe I'll have better luck this weekend trying to get VIP access into Las Vegas. Nope, from the latest pop-up, it appears this was my last chance. I hope my friends send me lots of screen shots!
Seems it has not started yet, but i have noticed that drop loot i got yesterday and today is completely different. Yesterday, I was able to get 14 good drop items out of 1000 stamina. Today I only got 3.
