Updates from the second PAC 2.0 Meeting



Dear Mafia Wars Players,


We are excited to inform you that the Mafia Wars team and the Player Advisory Council (PAC) had our second meeting last week. The agenda of the second meeting was to discuss Botting and some cases of players transferring their accounts. PAC’s feedback on VIP membership program and the proposed Avatar feature were also discussed. 

The meeting was a success as we had very valuable discussions on some issues that our player community had put forth to us. We also discussed how to make the game more interesting for the players and what kind of features would interest you. 

The meeting began with the PAC being updated on the suggestion/features and bugs addressed from the previous meeting. From the list of suggestions, the Mafia Wars team was able to implement a few which were: confirmation pop-up for collectable stat card and collect button for Family Battle loot. The team has fixed 18 bugs since the last PAC meeting and the same has been updated on the forums. 
We hope to include more community and PAC recommended features in the coming months. 

The Mafia Wars team’s official stand against botting: Botting strains the servers and spoils the experience of other players. Any Script which interferes with the normal gameplay is a bot and botting is a Zynga TOS violation. 
The feedback on the VIP membership from the PAC was positive & overall the program has been a success. 

The Mafia Wars Team
