By entering into these Terms of Service, you hereby provide your irrevocable consent to such monitoring and recording. You acknowledge and agree that you have no expectation of privacy concerning the transmission of any User Content, including without limitation chat text or voice communications.

If at any time Zynga chooses, in its sole discretion, to monitor the Service, Zynga nonetheless assumes no responsibility for User Content and assumes no obligation to modify or remove any inappropriate User Content.

Zynga cannot guarantee that other members will not use the ideas and information that you share. Therefore, if you have an idea or information that you would like to keep confidential and/or don’t want others to use, do not post it on the Service. Zynga shall have no responsibility to evaluate, use or compensate you for any ideas or information you may choose to submit.

ZYNGA IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR A MEMBER’S MISUSE OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF ANY CONTENT OR INFORMATION YOU POST IN ANY FORUMS, BLOGS AND CHAT ROOMS.
2.2.2. Responsible For Your Own Content

You are solely responsible for the information that you post on, through or in connection with the Service and that you provide to others.

Information, materials, products or services provided by other users (for instance, in their profiles) may, in whole or in part, be unauthorized, impermissible or otherwise violate these Terms of Service, and Zynga assumes no responsibility or liability for this material. If you become aware of misuse of the Service by any person, please use any "Report Abuse" link provided or contact us at Customer Support.

Zynga may reject, refuse to post or delete any User Content for any or no reason, including, but not limited to, User Content that in the sole judgment of Zynga violates these Terms of Service.

Zynga reserves the right to limit the storage capacity of User Content that you post on, through or in connection with the Service.

You expressly agree that We have the right, at all times, and at our sole discretion, to disclose any user content and other information (including without limitation chat text, voice communications, IP addresses and your personal information): (a) in response to legal process (for example, a court order, search warrant or subpoena) when We have a good faith belief that the information is required to be disclosed in response to legal process; (b) to allow Us to satisfy any applicable law, regulation or governmental request; (c) to allow Us to enforce these Terms of Service, the Zynga Privacy Policy or any other agreement, terms or policy relating to the Service, (d) to protect our legal rights and remedies; (e) in other circumstances in which We believe the Zynga games or web sites are being used in the commission of a crime (including exchanging information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction) and for the purpose of reporting the same to the appropriate authorities; (f) to report any other suspected crime or other offensive behavior to the appropriate authorities; (g) when We have a good faith belief that there is a threat to the health and/or safety of you or another person; or (h) when necessary either to protect the rights or property of Zynga, or for Us to render the Service you have requested.
2.4. User Interactions
2.4.1 Member Disputes

You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users of the Service and any other parties with whom you interact through the Service and/or Zynga games. Zynga reserves the right, but has no obligation, to become involved in any way with these disputes.

If you have a dispute with one or more users, you release us (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."
3. FEES AND PURCHASE TERMS
3.1. Purchases

In the Service you may purchase, with "real world" money, a license to use (a) "virtual currency", including but not limited to virtual coins, cash, tokens, or points, all for use in Zynga games; (b) "virtual in-game items" (together with "virtual currency", "Virtual Items"); and (c) other goods or services ("Merchandise"). You may also obtain a license to use Virtual Items by redeeming third party virtual currency such as Facebook Credits.

ALL PURCHASES AND REDEMPTIONS OF THIRD PARTY VIRTUAL CURRENCY MADE THROUGH THE SERVICE ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.

You can order Virtual Items by visiting the purchase page in one of our games, providing your billing information, confirming the particulars of your purchase and re-affirming your agreement to these Terms. When you place an order to purchase Virtual Items from our Service, we may send you a confirmatory e-mail that will contain details of the items you have ordered. Please check that the details in the confirmatory e-mail are correct as soon as possible and maintain a copy of it for your records. Zynga keeps records of transactions in order to deal with any subsequent queries. If you purchase Facebook Credits from Facebook, you are agreeing to Facebook’s Payment Terms and Zynga is not a party to the transaction.

For Virtual Items, your order will represent an offer to us to purchase the relevant product(s) which will be accepted by us when we make the Virtual Items available in your account for you to use in our games or debit your credit card, whichever comes first.

The provision of Virtual Items for use in Zynga games is a service provided by Zynga that commences immediately upon acceptance by Zynga of your purchase. By ordering Virtual Items you agree and accept that Zynga will provide them to you immediately following completion of your purchase. If you reside in the European Union and you purchase a product or service from Zynga, you have the right to withdraw from a purchase within seven calendar days, commencing on the day after the date of purchase (the "Cooling Off Period"). However, you lose your right of withdrawal if the performance of the services begins before the end of the Cooling Off Period. Accordingly, please note that if you purchase Virtual Items from us, your right of withdrawal is lost as the performance of our services begins immediately once your purchase is completed.
3.2. Payment of Fees

You agree to pay all fees and applicable taxes incurred by you or anyone using an Account registered to you. Zynga may revise the pricing for the goods and services offered through the Service at any time. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ZYNGA IS NOT REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A REFUND FOR ANY REASON, AND THAT YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE MONEY OR OTHER COMPENSATION FOR UNUSED VIRTUAL ITEMS WHEN AN ACCOUNT IS CLOSED, WHETHER SUCH CLOSURE WAS VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY.
4. THIRD PARTY ADVERTISING

You understand that the Service and Zynga games may feature advertisements from Zynga or third parties. Zynga's disclosure of information for third party advertising is addressed in Zynga's Privacy Policy.
4.2. Links to Third Party Sites And Dealings With Advertisers

Zynga may provide links on the Service to third party websites or vendors who may invite you to participate in a promotional offer in return for receiving optional Services and/or upgrades (such as in-game currency). Any charges or obligations you incur in your dealings with these third parties are your responsibility. Zynga makes no representation or warranty regarding any content, goods and/or services provided by any third party even if linked from our Service, and will not be liable for any claim relating to any third party content, goods and/or services. The linked sites are not under the control of Zynga and may collect data or solicit personal information from you. Zynga is not responsible for their content, business practices or privacy policies, or for the collection, use or disclosure of any information those sites may collect. Further, the inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement of Zynga of these linked sites.
5. COPYRIGHT NOTICES/COMPLAINTS

It is Zynga's policy to respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. For more information, please go to Zynga’s Copyright Page to review our DMCA Notification Guidelines. Zynga reserves the right to terminate without notice any User's access to the Zynga Service if that User is determined by Zynga to be a "repeat infringer." In addition, Zynga accommodates and does not interfere with standard technical measures used by copyright owners to protect their materials.
6. UPDATES TO THE SERVICE

9. SEVERABILITY

You and Zynga agree that if any portion of these Terms of Service or of the Zynga Privacy Policy is found illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part by any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective solely to the extent of such determination of invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other manner or jurisdiction and without affecting the remaining provisions of the Terms, which shall continue to be in full force and effect.

10.4. No Waiver

The failure of Zynga to require or enforce strict performance by you of any provision of these Terms of Service or the Zynga Privacy Policy or failure to exercise any right under them shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of Zynga's right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right in that or any other instance.

The express waiver by Zynga of any provision, condition, or requirement of these Terms of Service or the Zynga Privacy Policy shall not constitute a waiver of any future obligation to comply with such provision, condition or requirement.

Introduction

Zynga develops and publishes social games including FarmVille, FrontierVille, Mafia Wars, Zynga Poker and others. In this policy, "Zynga" refers to Zynga Inc. and its Affiliates, which shall mean subsidiaries, parent companies, joint ventures and other corporate entities under common ownership. We may also refer to Zynga as "We" or "Us". Personal data of users that reside outside of the United States and Japan is jointly controlled by Zynga Game Ireland Ltd. and Zynga Luxembourg S.a.r.l.

This Privacy Policy describes:

* the information we collect, how we do so and the purposes of our collection
* how we use and with whom we share such information
* how you can access and update such information
* the choices you can make about how we collect, use and share your information
* how we protect the information we store about you

If you have questions regarding this Privacy Policy or our collection and use of information, please contact us as described in Section 14 ("Contact Us").

Information We Collect

Information about You Received from an SNS

When you use any Zynga game at an SNS such as Facebook or MySpace, where our games are also referred to as “applications”, you allow Zynga to access certain information from your profile for that site. The information you allow Zynga to access varies by game and SNS platform, and it is affected by the privacy settings you establish at the SNS. You can control and find out more about these settings at the SNS where you play our games. For example, Zynga may access and store some or all of the following information, as allowed by you, the SNS and your preferences:

* your first and last name
* your profile picture or its URL
* your user ID number, which is linked to publically available information such as name and profile photo
* the user ID numbers for your friends that are also connected to our game(s)
* the login e-mail you provided to that SNS when you registered
* your physical location and that of your access devices
* your gender
* your birthday

By playing a Zynga game through an SNS, you are authorizing Zynga to collect, store, and use in accordance with this Privacy Policy any and all information that you agreed the SNS could provide to Zynga through the SNS Application Programming Interface ("API"). Your agreement takes place when you "accept" or "allow" (or similar terms) one of our applications on an SNS.

Information We Collect from You Directly

When you interact with Zynga directly, either through a Zynga game (whether or not on an SNS), at www.Zynga.com, or any Zynga-owned website, we may collect and store information from you directly as described below:

Registration Information

When you register with us directly, you will be required to provide at least the following information:

* your age or birthday (for age screening and/or to better understand who our users are)
* your first and last names
* your e-mail address (which must be a valid e-mail address)
* a password and other information that helps us confirm that it is you accessing your account

We may also offer you the option to complete a user profile that is visible to other Zynga users. Your user profile may include:

* a profile photo
* one or more game username(s)
* your gender
* your interests and hobbies
* your occupation
* biographic details that you provide
* links to your profiles on various SNS
* details about the games you play
* a Zynga user ID number, created by Zynga and used to identify your profile

The Zynga user ID number used to identify your account and profile will be public and will appear in the URL of your profile page, but will only permit access to information that is considered public or that you have designated as public in your settings.

Your first and last names and profile picture are considered "public" on Zynga websites that offer direct access to Zynga games and search engines may index this publicly available information. When we offer profiles, we will also offer functionality that allows you to opt-out of public indexing of your public profile information.

We will also offer you the ability to import your address book contacts or manually enter email addresses so that you can (i) locate your contacts on Zynga; and (ii) invite those contacts to join you in our games. We will store those contacts for purposes of helping you and your contacts make connections on our site. If you do not want your contacts stored just follow the instructions available at the "Learn More" link. Passwords provided to Zynga for the purpose of accessing your address book will not be stored.

Information We Receive or Collect When You Access Zynga Games on a Mobile Device

If you play Zynga games on your mobile telephone or other mobile device, we collect your unique device identifier and may collect your telephone number, country, and other information you choose to provide, such as user name, character name, location or e-mail address (i.e., to receive updates about the game).

Payment Information

If you purchase in-game virtual currency or goods from Zynga, we will collect the billing and financial information necessary to process your charges, including your postal and e-mail addresses, depending on your payment method. Zynga may also receive the billing and payment information that you provide when you purchase Zynga virtual goods or currency via a mobile device, such as an iPhone. We use and store this data in the same manner as billing and payment data collected from non-mobile visitors to our games. Our Terms of Service explain our policies and terms relevant to our charges and billing practices. Please note that purchases of Facebook Credits are subject to Facebook policies.

Customer Support Correspondence

When you ask for assistance from our Customer Support team, we will collect and store the contact information you provide (generally your name and e-mail address), information about your game play or activity on the Service, and your user ID number. We will also store the correspondence and any information contained within.

Sweepstakes, Promotions and Loyalty Programs

We receive and store the information you provide, such as a user ID number or valid e-mail address or street address, when you enter any Zynga game promotion, sweepstakes or loyalty program. Promotions which offer prizes (for example, other than virtual currency or virtual goods) will have separate requirements for eligibility and other rules, which you can easily locate and should review before deciding whether to participate.

SMS Notifications

We receive and store the information you provide, including your telephone number, when you sign up to have SMS notifications sent directly to your mobile phone. These messages notify you of in-game activity and may allow you to play the game from your phone. For example, two-way SMS notifications for Mafia Wars allow you to do jobs, fight, and collect virtual money in the game. You will also receive alerts when you are attacked, receive an energy pack or when your mafia needs help. You can adjust the types of notifications you receive and when you receive them by editing your SMS notification settings; just log in to your game account and choose SMS mobile from the Help menu.

Technical and Usage Information

When you access our websites or play our games, we collect (i) certain technical information about your computer system and (ii) usage statistics about your interactions with our websites and games. This information is collected through the use of server log files and tracking technologies to collect and analyze certain types of technical information including cookies. Some of the cookies the Service places on your computer are linked to your user ID number(s). For more information on how we utilize cookies and other tracking technologies please review the "Cookies and Automated Information Collection" portion of Section 3 ("How We Collect Information about You").

Game Toolbars or Game Bars

Users may have the opportunity to download and install a Zynga branded toolbar (the "Toolbar") when playing various games. This Toolbar allows you to monitor your real time status for Zynga games while you are browsing non-Zynga websites. For example, you can view your real time Health, Energy and Stamina in Mafia Wars no matter what website you are viewing. As the Toolbar is improved, it will be automatically updated on your browser. The Toolbar itself does not collect personal information. However, there are some features within the Toolbar that may allow you to provide personal information (e.g. Contact form, Tell-a-friend). Additionally, we may keep statistics regarding toolbar use on an aggregated basis. For more info on the Toolbar and instructions for installing and uninstalling go here. The Toolbar is based on technology provided by Conduit, whose privacy policy is available here.

How We Collect Information about You

We may collect information about you in any one or more of the following ways:

Information about Players and Play

When you play one of our games, Zynga collects and stores certain profile information that you provide directly or through the SNS or other third party website that is offering our game(s). To provide a richer game play and social experience, we also collect information about your play and interaction with other players and the Service. The bulk of this information is collected and stored through the use of web logs, which are files on our web servers that record actions taken on our games and websites.

Communications Features

You may be able to take part in certain activities on our websites or games that give you the opportunity to communicate or share information not just with Zynga, but also with other users of our Service. These include:

Cookies and Automated Information Collection

When you access our websites or play our games, we collect certain technical information in order to (i) analyze the usage of our sites and services which allows us to improve the service, (ii) provide a more personalized experience and (iii) manage advertising. We and service providers acting on our behalf, such as Google Analytics, use server log files and tracking technologies to collect and analyze certain types of technical information, including cookies, IP addresses, browser types, browser language, referring and exit pages, and URLs, platform type, the number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed and the order of those pages, the amount of time spent on particular pages, game state and the date and time of activity on our websites or games, and other similar information. In some cases, we will associate this information with your user ID number for our internal use.

We may also employ other technologies including (i) web beacons, which allow us to know if a certain page was visited or whether an e-mail was opened; (ii) tracking pixels, which allow us to advertise more efficiently by excluding our current users from certain promotional messages or identifying the source of a new installation; (iii) local shared objects also known as flash cookies, which help us to prevent fraud, remember your in-game settings for features like music and to track your progress on certain in-game tasks.

You can set your web browser to warn you about attempts to place cookies on your computer, or limit the type of cookies you allow. Flash cookies operate differently than browser cookies and cookie management tools available in a web browser will not remove flash cookies. To learn more about and manage flash cookies you can visit http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/articles/lso/ and make changes at the privacy settings panel. If you disable cookies, you may lose some of the features and functionality of playing our games, as Zynga cookies are necessary to track and enhance your game activities. Please note that companies delivering advertisements in our games or on our websites may also use cookies or other technologies, and those practices are subject to their own policies.

Other Sources

We may collect or receive information from other sources including (i) other Zynga users who choose to upload their email contacts, and (ii) third party information providers. This information will be used to supplement your profile - primarily to help you and your friends connect. It will be combined with other information we collect.

How We Use the Information We Collect

In general, we collect, store and use your information to provide you with a safe, smooth, efficient, and customized experience. For example, we may use information collected from you in any one or more of the following ways:

* to register your Zynga account and allow play of our games

Sharing of Your Information

We will share your information (in some cases personal information) with third parties, that is parties other than Zynga, in the following circumstances:

Third Party Service Providers

We will provide your information to third party companies to perform services on our behalf, including payment processing, data analysis, e-mail delivery, hosting services, customer service and to assist us in our marketing efforts. We direct all such third party service providers to maintain the confidentiality of the information disclosed to them and to not use your information for any purpose other than to provide services on Zynga's behalf.

Friends and Other Zynga Players

In some Zynga games other players will be able to see your game name or pseudonym and a game profile. Your game profile may include your profile photo, which in certain cases can reveal your User ID number. Access to this information may allow others to view the public information associated with your related SNS account.

Advertising of Third-Party Products and Services

We do not actively share personal information with third party advertisers for their direct marketing purposes unless you give us your consent. If we wish to share in this fashion, we will ask for your consent. Advertisers, however, may obtain public information about you from your profile or other public sources.

We may use and share with third parties certain technical information (including IP addresses) or aggregated information to show general demographic and preference information among Zynga users. We may also allow advertisers to collect technical or aggregated information, which they may share with us, with tracking technologies like cookies and web beacons. The information collected may be used to offer you targeted ad-selection and delivery in order to personalize your user experience by ensuring that advertisements for products and services you see will appeal to you, a practice known as behavioral advertising, and to undertake web analytics (i.e. to analyze traffic and other end user activity to improve your experience). To learn more about behavioral advertising or to opt-out of this type of advertising for participating ad networks, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative website.

Our collection, use, and disclosure of anonymous and aggregated information are not subject to any of the restrictions in this Privacy Policy.

Offer Walls

Zynga games or their purchase pages may display an "offer wall" that is hosted by an offer wall provider. The offer wall allows third party advertisers to provide virtual currency to users in exchange for interacting with an advertisement or for completing a marketing offer that may include signing up for an account with one of those advertisers. These are not offers made by Zynga. These offers may be displayed to you based on certain technical information, such as your geographic area or anonymous demographic information. After clicking on one of these advertisements, you will no longer be on a site hosted by Zynga or partnering SNS. To properly credit user accounts and to prevent fraud, a unique identifier, in some cases your user ID number, will be shared with the offer wall provider. This identifier is used to ensure proper crediting of your account, prevent fraud or duplicate offers and to resolve any customer service inquiries that may arise. Once you complete an offer, you will then return to a Zynga website or game.

Safety, Security and Compliance with Law

Your information, and the contents of your private online communications, may be accessed and disclosed (i) in response to legal process (for example, a court order, search warrant or subpoena); (ii) when we have a good faith belief that we are required to disclose the information in response to legal process; (iii) in other circumstances in which Zynga believes the Zynga games or web sites are being used in the commission of a crime (including exchanging information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction); (iv) when we have a good faith belief that there is an emergency that poses a threat to the safety of you or another person; and (v) when necessary either to protect the rights or property of Zynga including to enforce our Terms of Service, or for us to render the service you have requested.

Sale or Merger

In the event that Zynga undergoes a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, we may transfer all of your information, including personal information, to the successor organization in such transition. If material changes to Zynga's privacy practices will occur as a result of the business transition, we will notify you and other users (in the manner described in Section 12) of the business transition prior to transferring your personal information.

6
Our Policies Concerning Children

Our websites and games are not intended for children under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from such children. Children under the age of 13 should not use our websites or games at any time. In the event that we learn that we have inadvertently gathered personal information from children under the age of 13, we will take reasonable measures to promptly erase such information from our records.

Your Sharing and Messaging Options

Information We Receive from Third-Party SNS Where You play a Zynga Game

If you play our games at a third-party SNS, Zynga will be able to access and store profile and other information about you as described above. The categories of information you share with us will depend, in part, on the privacy settings you have established at the SNS where you access the application. Many SNS allow you to control how you share information with third-party applications and websites, such as Zynga games, through your privacy settings on each SNS. Zynga does not control what privacy settings those sites make available to their users, so we refer you to the privacy policies that are posted on those sites to learn what options they make available to their users. Zynga does not offer an "opt out" option for specific fields that are shared by the SNS where you access and play the game(s).

New Properties Page on Mafia Wars

2010-02-13T22:33:00.004+08:00

New properties page is now used in Facebook Mafia Wars!

Goodbye rackets and old stagnant properties, hello Real estate development.

Here's the message you will get once your Properties have been converted.

Real estate development is a great way to make additional money without the Feds breathing down your neck.

Mousing over each property displays how much it makes, how often you can collect the income, and how much money is needed to upgrade it. Upgrading a property increases the money it pays out. Some properties take less time to pay out than others, so check back as often as possible to collect the take and maximize your income.

As you make more money, additional properties will become available for purchase.

There are no longer any undeveloped spaces. We took the liberty of selling off your undeveloped spaces for you and deposited the proceeds in your account.

You can no longer sell your properties, only upgrade them.

And, while each of your properties pays out the same amount it did before, the properties now each have different collection rates. Be sure to come back often so your properties are always producing.

Read all about the New York Properties Change.
Do you like the change or not?

Facebook Mafia Wars Valentine's Day Event 2010

2010-02-09T16:09:00.002+08:00

Mafia Wars Valentine's Day Massacre Event

To celebrate Valentine’s Day, Mafia Wars is getting ready to lavish you with cool new game updates for our Valentine’s Day Event starting Monday, February 8th, 2010.

First off is a new featured job – the Valentine’s Day Massacre.

This featured job will be played similarly to NYE featured job – it’ll be broken up into three special jobs for you to choose from that each have timers, and you’ll be awarded with unique Valentine’s Day bonuses for each stage you complete. Finish the featured job for a cool mastery item! Because we want everyone to feel the love and get the mastery item from the event, we’ll be offering some extra help. You’ll be able to use Reward Points to speed up the job timers, and will also have the option to ask for help from your mafia.

Our next present for you is our new Valentine’s Day Collection.

As you do jobs, fight, or work on completing the featured job, you’ll be rewarded with Limited Edition loot drops. Vault this exclusive collection to get the coveted Cupid’s Arrow. A hint for you – one of the collection items is a gift item, so be generous with your mafia and maybe they’ll send you that special Valentine in return. And if you want another achievement to brag about, master the featured job and vault the Valentine’s Day Collection to get the “Love Hurts” achievement on top of all your other rewards.

We’ll also be bringing you a new Gift Safehouse – Mafia Love Edition.

Play and find out if your mafia loves you. Ask your mafia members for gifts and work on filling up the Mafia Love Meter. If your members are loyal, they’ll send you items that’ll raise your Love Meter when you open them. But be sure your rank is high in your mafia – if your members choose to disrespect you and send you a gag gift, your Love Meter will drop once your gift is opened! Fill up your Love meter to 100% and get a Limited Edition item to use in the game.

So this February, check out the new Valentine's event only here at Mafia Wars.

Mafia Wars Bangkok Preview

2010-01-28T07:27:00.003+08:00

Here is a little preview for Mafia Wars Bangkok:

Mafia Wars is proud to unleash its newest city – Bangkok, a city overrun by crime and chaos as two gangs struggle for dominance over turf. Get ready – you’ll finally get the opportunity to continue expanding your Mafia Empire. Do a brand new set of jobs, take over more businesses, battle with a new set of bosses, and earn even more achievements!

First, choose which side you’ll be loyal to – the Yakuza or the Triads. While the Yakuza place value in a good offense and in increasing their attack power, the Triads focus on strengthening their defenses to ward off attacks. Each faction has its own unique weapons and businesses to offer in exchange for your loyalty, and that allegiance will affect the rest of your game play. As you do certain jobs and fight against members of your rival faction, you’ll climb the ranks and earn respect within your own faction. Earning enough loyalty grants you access to special items at the Faction Store that are exclusive to that side.

In Bangkok, how you choose to spend your energy has never been more important. Be careful how you choose to play – siding entirely with one faction is sure to anger the other. As you use your energy in jobs and fights to increase your street credit with one side, your reputation will decrease with the other side. If your reputation drops below a certain level with a faction, they’ll cut off your access to their select items, so get a game plan and play wisely!

One of the ways we’ve made Bangkok unique from our other expansions is to make it more accessible to newer players. As long as you are level 18 and above and have collected the Yakuza Sake, Triad Coin, and Thai Note found in the New York jobs, you can travel to Bangkok once you have obtained your Passport. For players between levels 18 and 200, we’ve created a sliding scale for energy costs and experience payouts for jobs. This means that lower-level players can complete new jobs and advance through Bangkok’s episodes, as jobs will require less energy to complete but have correspondingly lowered experience rewards. Players who are above level 200 will not be affected by this sliding scale.

We hope everyone will enjoy this latest addition to Mafia Wars. Stay tuned for the release and try to grab your Thai passport to start your crime spree!

Want to get your Thailand / Bangkok Passports?
You can have one faked by the MafiaWars Bangkok Triads.
Hurry up! Available while supplies last.
