Italy can now be added to the growing list of Mafia Wars cities. Italy is not another annoying Challenge Mission, it's a permanent destination. It seems a little bit too soon for this. From what I've been reading, this isn't viewed by the majority of the community as good news. Many players haven't finished Bangkok or even started Las Vegas. I know Zynga is interested in increasing their new player base but this isn't the way to go about it. I would never start playing this game if I felt I needed to complete 5 destinations just to catch up to everyone else. Anyways, that's enough of my pointing out the obvious. If you want to hear what others are saying about it, check out the Zynga Forum Board thread
Italy coming soon.
You can't miss this one. It starts off with a pop-up.
If your pop-up got lost in the sea of other pop-ups, there will be a blinking "New" notification over the travel bar on your game header.
Open it up and there it is at the bottom. This is when the shock sets in and you realize it's not a Challenge Mission because Dublin is still there!
So when you click on Italy, all you really learn is that it's scheduled to launch in October of 2010. I just checked my calender and it is October of 2010! Expect this city to open soon. I'm also expecting it to have a lot of bugs. There isn't adequate time to properly Beta test it so either they miss the dead line or we deal with the bugs as they come. More Boss Fights and more Jobs equates to more loot items! This is about the time those of you who have worked hard to gather 501 of the VHEL items should really be annoyed. The property is our very own luxurious Itialian Villa. This could be really pretty. I like the fountain from the Las Vegas Casino so I hope to see more stuff like that.
For updates as they happen, check the
Mafia Wars Wiki Italy Page. I will post any and all the new information I can find on our new city. I do have one question for Zynga. Will the postponed Mafia Wars Convention be moved to Italy? Soon Mafia Wars players will be saying "Las Vegas Who?".
Thanks to the many players who sent me screen shots and updated my fan page. I couldn't do all this without your help and continued support.
Also, the mafia, the Cosa Nostra. Our Thing. Was started on the island of Sicily. Not the mainland of Italy.
ReplyDeleteCuba is also a country and not a city
ReplyDeleteLOL, good point. Maybe I should have just called them destinations in the first place. Now I look like the one who needs geography lessons.
