The Player Advisory Committee


Pac2The Player Advisory Committee is a group of 35 players who represent the various subgroups within the Mafia Wars community. Their job is to provide feedback from the community to the Mafia Wars team as well as relay information back to the community. All Mafia Wars players were eligible to apply and those selected were flown to San Fransisco this past weekend. The agenda was full of classes, workshops and fun. We had many presentations by team leaders from Zynga and got to see what it's like for them to manage our game. For more details of what happened and images, click HERE to visit my blog and HERE to visit the forums. All Mafia Wars players are represented by the PAC and you the player are an important part of the outcome. To learn how you can help, please review the steps to providing feedback that gets results by going HERE. This information might not be new to you but you can be a leader within your mafia and help the players who may not know what to do when they encounter problems. I would like to thank Zynga for opening this channel of communication to the players and express that all members of the PAC take our group and new responsibilities seriously. Look for positive changes as a direct result of the PAC/Zynga relationship. Here is a closer look at your Player Advisory Committee.

Mafia Wars Valentine's Day Event


Brokenheart_400The Mafia Wars Valentine's Day Event is coming your way! For this special event, you'll be working on collecting Broken Hearts that'll randomly drop when you do jobs, fight, or rob your opponents. When a heart drops from jobs, fights, or robbing, you'll also get a chance to get a mini-game where you can win up to 5 more hearts! The Broken Hearts will also be giftable from your free gifts page, so when the event is underway, be sure to be generous and share your hearts with your mafia so they'll return the favor. Something important to keep in mind is that the more base energy you have, the harder the job you should select to get your Broken Heart drops - so if you have 1000 energy, doing 2 energy jobs in New York or Italy won't get you heart drops.

The goal here is to collect as many Broken Hearts as you can get your hands on - you'll then get to pick from 4 loot items to redeem the hearts for. The more valuable the loot item, the more hearts it'll cost you. If you're really lucky, you'll can also have a chance to loot the rare Golden Hearts, which are equivalent to 5 Broken Hearts. You never know where one will drop or if one might appear when you accept a gift, so be on the lookout.

Get ready to start the search for hearts and play Mafia Wars today! http://zyn.ga/35I
