There is a fairly new message that appears on our home page about a loot item called The Regalia Foxtrot (34/71) that we can get by redeeming using a Mafia Wars game card.
A few posts ago, I told you about a new feature where we can send each other game cards via e-mail
(1). I sent one to myself and was excited to redeem it because I really wanted The Regalia Foxtrot. I was shocked when I received the The Osprey Helicopter instead. This old thing was supposed to be gone a long time ago!
I was all set to use the Zynga Customer Support Live Chat feature. I even made the following screen shot to submit as proof that I didn't get the Regalia Foxtrot. That's when I figured out what was going on. You need to buy the game card from a GameStop store for it to count. You can't blame me for assuming this was the new game card bonus loot item. Zynga is due to add a new one as The Osprey Helicopter was reported to be expired on Sept 14th.
There are over 4,500 GameStop stores in 16 different countries. Click
HERE to see if there is one near you.
According to the
Mafia Wars Wiki Regalia Foxtrot Page, you will also get the bonus item in addition to the Regalia Foxtrot. If you have a GameStop nearby, you may want to pick one up. The offer is said to expire on October 31st. We'll see if that's true. Based on the Osprey publicized expiration date, I'm not sure I believe it.

A second reason I was shocked to get The Osprey Helicopter is because Zynga told us many times that it was going to expire. I remember making a special trip on September 13th to buy a Mafia Wars game card so I wouldn't miss out on getting this item. Now I own 2 of them.
The day after I posted this article,
The Mafia Wars Fan Page announced it as well. Unfortunately they said it's for US Residents only. I don't get this as there are GameStop stores in many countries. Zynga should know by now that players don't like to be excluded from things and there are many many players who live outside of the US.
Anyone got the farmville stamina boost link for today ?
ReplyDeleteI've visted four GameStop stores in three difference cites (in the US), and each of them has told me they haven't received the promo card to sell yet. They know about it, but don't have them in stock.
