The Cuba page isn't even cold and will be gone in less than 2 hours. They are already planning on getting rid of Moscow next.
The Customer Support Massacre in Moscow is out! Moscow will be gone on March 10th. Just like Cuba, we will have Mission to say farewell. Here is a reprint and check the link for updates. I changed the color so it would be easier to read. Customer Support got jiggy with it and posted in bright red.
Massacre in Moscow - Mission Event
Seasons change, and in March, Mafia Wars will change in an unprecedented way.
Q: Moscow is closing, why?
A: We have some major things coming up in March, and part of the storyline involves the closing down of Moscow. 'The Neo-Imperium, fresh from their success in controlling the Moscow Underworld, turns its sights to controlling the Russian Underworld. They have commisioned a team of hitmen to assassinate the leads of the Moscow Mafia in a show of force. You are one of the leaders that is on the hitlist, and you need to track down these hired guns and get to them before you become the next fatality.'
Q: What do you mean closing?
A: Moscow will no longer be accessible. It will be grayed out on the travel menu and any attempts to get to Moscow will be stopped with a popup. You will not be able to vault or revault Moscow collections. You will not be able to collect from Moscow properties or access the Moscow bank. You will not be able to complete Moscow achievements. You will not be able to fight or rob in Moscow.
Q: When will this happen?
A: Moscow will be closing on March 10th.
Q: Is this permanent?
A: Moscow will be closed for the foreseeable future.
Q: What if I have finished Moscow already?
A: In order to complete Massacre in Moscow mission, you will need to loot Snow Resist Layers. This will only drop in jobs and fights (but not robs) in Moscow. Completing the mission will award you with the Special Mastery Item, a Snow Cat (144 Att / 72 Def).
Q: What if I haven't finished Moscow already?
A: In addition to the Snow Resist Layers, you will receive 5x Mastery on unmastered jobs. Mastered jobs reward you with a skill point.
In addition, there are Mastery Items for mastering each tier (Barsuk SUV, Karpov, Ex-KGB Bodyguard, Cossack Arored Vest, ZPR Pulemut and the Drakon) If you haven't vaulted the Moscow collections, each of them offer a permanent addition to your skill.
*Prison Tattoos Collection initial vault = + 6 Defense
*Matryoshka Dolls Collection initial vault = +7 Energy
*Russian Leaders Collection initial vault = +4 Attack
*Vodka Drinks Collection initial vault = +4 Stamina
*Soviet Memorabilla Collection initial vault = +10 Health
*Faberge Egg Collection initial vault = +8 Energy
There are also Moscow achievements that offer a skill point for completion.
Q: What if I don't finish Moscow in time?
A: Your Moscow progress will be frozen.
Q: I like fighting in Moscow!
A: The Moscow version of fighting will also be closed for the foreseeable future.

Snow Resist layer which kind of job can i get from that?
ReplyDeletethx jennifer. very informative and it's very handy for players who havne't completed Moscow, like me, to come and prepare the consumables before it start, so as to maximize the 5x boost feature. :))
ReplyDeleteI wonder if that means no more golden chickens from MB
ReplyDeletehorrible news
ReplyDeleteDoes the thing for the snow cat item load up like the missions do? Or do we just collect the snow suits until we apparently have enough to earn the snow cat?
ReplyDeletethey just try to push us to spend money on this junk game so we could finish the city, not to lose the skills
ReplyDeleteis super lame!!!
like i always said new players have no chance in this game, they lose skills we got from cuba now moscow, they could never upgrade there armory, zoo and so on...
JUNK MANAGEMENT!!!
....previous comment is: retarded!!
ReplyDeleteIt would make sense to transfer vault and items to another city like New York...those of us that spend money to help others and ourselves think this just sucks....what is the reason for going on with it if you keep taking away and not giving back?
