Secret Stash 411 & FAQ

Share:

The "revamped" Secret Stash that I wrote about for the Official Mafia Wars Blog and posted all the new loot items involved here, should be in our game soon.

It's on the slow roll out system so don't be alarmed if you don't have it right away. The Customer Support Secret Stash 411 & FAQ was just posted. It looks like more spam for us and we will have to stop playing as you only get 15 seconds to take action once the pop-up appears. The good news is we can only get one of these a day so there is no pressure to do as many as we can. Here is a reprint below. I will have more information once I get the feature on my account.
