A new warning popup was found in the back code of the game and several players have reported getting it. Ironically many of these players weren't even playing for very long. I'm working on getting more information about it.

Thanks to the author of the Mafia Wars Secrets Blog for this find.

 Flagged for continuous play!?WTF??? Anyone else get this? "Dear Mafia Wars player, Your account has been flagged for continuous play. You must log off periodically or you may be subject to in-game penalties. If you have any questions, please visit this FAQ or contact our Customer Support team and reference this message, "MWContinuousPlay," in your email. Thank you for being a devoted Mafia Wars player. Sincerely, The Mafia Wars Team " It's not from fighting since I rarely bother with that anymore. I've had a MW tab open in my browser since 11 am this morning. This apparently constitutes continuous play? Since when? I often leave a tab up so I can respond to mafia requests after my energy runs out. Now it is a crime for which I might receive a penalty? Just one more reason to quit. My response to Customer support: I am incredulous that MW would send me such a message. Just one look at how long I have been playing (over two years I think) and my level (currently around 860) would show that I do not use any type of bot or robo play. Just leaving the game open in a tab on my browser has never before merited any sort of abuse penalty. The threat in your email about imposing a penalty is unfounded and unfair. I am ready to quit unless you back off from making these kind of false charges against players. No more buying reward points from me! Has anyone else received an unwarranted warning like this? Could someone else be shadowing my acct? I'm no computer geek. I don't know how to write a script or use a bot. Insight appreciated Perronelle BTW it was an in game pop-up notice. Not an email.

People are getting this message, and some have gotten it when logging on for the first time.
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine just got that warning a few minutes ago.
ReplyDeleteAnd as is typical with Zynga, it's not working properly. One of our members just got the message when he logged in tonight. Hasnt been on his account in over 12hours.
ReplyDeleteI got one-does that mean I'm first? Yippeeee!!!!sarcasm was definitely intended btw. What else are they going to do?
ReplyDeletelove this! so after getting flagged they say "Thank you for being a devoted Mafia Wars player.
ReplyDelete" typical of these clowns!
I just got it after being logged in for less than 3 hours and over 12 hours since the last log-in.... They want us to play 24/7 and then this.... FUC them.
ReplyDeleteHonestly , most the people i know are to the point they would look at it as a blessing to get there accounts killed.
ReplyDeleteZynga has screwed up this game so bad the only fun part about it anymore is the banter that takes place outside the game with the friends we have made along the way , and we don't need Zynga and there retardation to carry on them friendships.
Now I don't feel so alone. I got this message too, and hadn't been on MW for over 6 hours. Are they upset with me because I won't pay $$ for reward points?
ReplyDeletejust can't wait for the DAY when the DAU/MAU drop to 500.000 and 1.000.000 respectively. wake the hell up Z
ReplyDeleteThank you for playing, but you play too much... Customer Service is no help on this on. This warning should not exist. You almost have to play 24/7 to keep up with all their events... Retarded...
ReplyDeleteYou go to Home on Facebook, on the left side are all applications, next to Mafia Wars there is a pencil click on that and the option: "remove app" will appear.
ReplyDeleteAfter that you go to the search field on Facebook and look for Mafia Wars.
And re-add...
You won't loose any info from Zynga servers as they don't delete info for 3months.
That guy that said another reason to quit... just f***ing quit already! you 1 of hundreds that say it. You sound like and old age pensioner and the price of bread has gone up 1 cent.
ReplyDeleteI left my mw window tab open until the next morning, I didn't get any warning on 18 nov morning? Any ideas why?
ReplyDeleteIt's baack I just got it.
ReplyDeleteYep ! Just got it too...
ReplyDeleteI wasn't even playing since hours... Just had an idle MW window open..o.O
I just got it...hadn't played for hours.
ReplyDeletei just got this warning after leaving the computer on all night, this is complete BS.. does anyone have a solution aside from talking to zynga
