If you've been playing Mafia Wars for awhile, you remember how difficult it was to finish NY and move on. It's extremely important to finish NY first because the Mastery Item is a Golden Thrown which doubles the speed of the energy regeneration timer. The other cities are often ignored and most players work on the most current city. Zynga is testing a new feature called the Old City Bonus to encourage players to complete their unfinished work.
One of my mafia members,
Ingvar Fremdehake, posted the following screen shot on my fan page. The Old City Bonus gives you twice the mastery and twice the currency of the old cities (NY, Cuba, Moscow and Bangkok). This was on a Bangkok job. Players who have this feature are reporting that they can finish the cities much quicker and the bonus is there for every job.
Here is an image from
TopMafia.Info where you can see Old City Bonus in NY and Moscow.
I went to my failed energy account (you know the account you started in hopes of creating an energy account but lost interest a few days later) to test this out and it didn't have the bonus. I found a Zynga Forum thread titled
Old City Bonus? and Al Catraz informs us that only a small percentage of users have this feature and it is currently in the test phase. There is no information on when we can expect to see it on all accounts.
Thank you once again for your wonderful reporting and fact finding. I love what you do for us!!
ReplyDeleteSO ONCE AGAIN ZYNGA HAS FOUND A WAY TO MAKE MAFIA WARS UNFAIR - ALL ACCOUNTS SHOULD HAVE THIS "OLD CITY BONUS" OR NO ACCOUNTS SHOULD HAVE IT. SOME ACCOUNTS CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS TO ADD SKILL POINTS TO ATTACK, DEFENSE, STAMINA, AND HEALTH GIVING THESE ACCOUNTS AN UNDUE BOOST OVER ACCOUNTS WHICH DON'T. GET A FRACKING CLUE ZYNGA!!!
