Big Mafia Wars New York changes coming; robbing makes a comeback

Just as Mafia Wars Bangkok arrives, the New York portion of the game will be undergoing some major renovations -- New York properties, specifically. These changes are designed to accommodate "the return of robbing."

Zynga also pinky swears that this revamp will not make players lose money.

From the official Mafia Wars blog -- here are the changes:

1) We'll have properties switched to Flash mode, so make sure you have the latest version (http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/).

2) We'll be getting rid of 'undeveloped space'. The costs of undeveloped space will be folded into the costs of the updated properties. If you currently have any undeveloped properties, it'll be sold off and you'll have your money returned to you.

3) Instead of owning 30 Mega Casinos, you will have 1 Mega Casino, but it will have been upgraded 30 times.

4) You won't be able to sell properties anymore, but you can continue to upgrade them. If you still haven't earned your "Cashing Out" achievement, do it soon!
