Glitch Rollback

Share:

Players who went up thousands of levels today (and got hundreds of thousands of skill points) because of a glitch involving robbing have been rolled back. You would think Zynga would have posted something about this because the many players who didn't experience the glitch are very interested in what was going to be done to correct this situation. Here is the popup message these players got (sorry I don't have a screen shot). They were rewarded pretty good for the "inconvenience". I wish I had jumped on this one. The moral of the story is to partake in as many glitches as possible because you will still be rewarded.
Today Mafia Wars unintentionally exposed a bug related to robbing that awarded a small number of players with incorrect amounts of experience. In order to maintain a level playing field, we have restored your account to a previous state. We recognize this is an inconvenience to you, and have awarded you with the following items:

50 Reward Points
50 Skill Points
10 Cocktail Waitresses

We have completed this adjustment. In addition to the items above that were added to your account, you have also been credited with RP for any purchases that were impacted by this account change.

Sincere apologies,
The Mafia Wars Team


Thanks to Elizabeth Martinez for the screen shot.

    Ok, that's it. I'm done with this game. I was one of the people penalized for not knowing that a previous 'glitch' was giving me more loot than I was entitled to, and I got NOTHING, unless you count the loot that was stolen from my characters.

    i jumped 10k levels and received 50.000 skillponts. i spent 1hour to push my stats (25k energy / 25k defense...). but easy come easy go.. the rewards for the rollbacks are nice, but way too unfair for those who havent got glitched. thank god i used all my stamina for the boss fight yesterday and they didnt remove that.

    im curious if ALL people who got glitched were rolled back or are there poeple who can keep the skillpoints?!

    I was part of this glitch and their thinking that pay off was good is a joke.. They rolled me back enough that I lost time in eldorado, lost 2 levels of the new building in new york as well as some loot items that I had gained before the glitch happened to me... this game is really getting crazy and i can honestly say that I see why so many have quit playing....

    I just dont understand why people who where involved with this 'glitch' where rewarded for it? At the end of the day, they would have known something was wrong..

    Dear Zynga,
    A simple flaw in your thinking and programming, would you please take a moment and fix,
    After the Chicago roll back, you gave us players who were effected, 10 cocktail waitress, and we did and do appreciate that, but in doing so, you forgot to increase out old man and garbage man inventory to reflect those 10 cocktail waitress. There by preventing us from earning any more,
    By not increasing the inventory to support the “10 cocktail waitress” you in effect, did not give us anything because we now need to earn our way past what you gave to us. You can see by the attached photo, I have enough pieces for "4" cocktail waitress, now add the 10 you gave me and I should have 14, but as you can see I only have 12, this is because I had 2, then you gave me 10, and before i can earn any more I need to accumulate the inventory to support the 12,
    So I am asking that you correct your wonderful gift and at the very least, increase “my old man” and “garbage man” inventories by 10. This will support the 10 cocktail waitress that you have given.
    So please increase old man by 10
    and Please increase Garbage man by 10,
    This way I don't have to earn the gifts that you, at Zynga gave to me.
    Thank you for your prompt correcting of your wonderful gift
    David.
