New Top Mafia Updates

Share:

Back in April of last year, Zynga rolled out a new Top Mafia lay out. Nobody liked it and it was quickly removed. They tried to bring it back again and once again it was removed never to return again.

The Mafia Wars Wiki Top Mafia Page recently added the update below. It doesn't look like we will be seeing it again.

UPDATE: As of July 2011, this feature has yet to return to the game. Talking with developers it seems that the recent downfall of MAU, WAU and DAU (or Monthly, Weekly and Daily Average Users, respectively) has prompted the development team to put much more emphasis on developing content that the players want and to directly reflect player feedback in the game. This feature seems to have been scrapped but it will be left up as a reference.

The only problem this failed feature has caused is with the achievements. There were 3 achievements that were removed but are still in the back code of the game. This is why some players have more than the maximum amount of achievements. Here are the 3 New Top Mafia achievements show on the Mafia Wars Wiki Achievements Page.
Ng, one of our admins, found an interesting profile the other day. This player was awarded the Green as Grass achievement on May 14th.
I doubt this is a sign of a return of the New Top Mafia and it's possible that Customer Support could have awarded him the achievement for accomplishing the task back in April. Here is a closer look of another reason to scratch your head when it comes to Mafia Wars.

  1. Maybe he added his 6 people back when it was active, and the last one of them just reached level 20 last May.
