Zynga's Brian Reynolds spoke at this year's Game Developers Conference in Austin. During his address he compared some aspects of Mafia Wars to those of FarmVille.
Reynolds showed the active user graphs for Mafia Wars versus Farmville, revealing that, although you can see people playing Mafia Wars and dropping off at the weekends, the same doesn't happen with Farmville. This is because the crop harvesting-based time-specific game mechanics of the farming simulator -- players must come back even on weekends.
Here he says that FarmVille's time based harvesting feature makes people come back during times when they wouldn't play otherwise. Judging by the way Rackets run, they are doing it for Mafia Wars as well. If you don't log in to claim your take, you lose it.
if you have rackets, you cannot have properties. rackets is where you can get your income.
Rackets is the new way Mafia Wars is setup now. Older users have Properties, but Racksets will be phased in slowly by Zynga. You cannot get Properties in Mafia Wars on Facebook. You might still be able to get Properties on My Space, but I doubt that. They are being phased out. First went robbing, then went Properties.
some people have rackets which i use and i use a taxi stand if u have rackets you cant get properties and advice always be a maniac
Properties were removed from Mafia Wars for new players several months ago.Previously, it could be bought from the Properties tab which was where the Rackets tab is now.
go to the properties/rackets tab in your Mafia Wars there you can see the properties available and the amount. if you have properties, just buy the abandoned lot there and in rackets, you must first click on the button collect your take (if you have any) before buying any property.
Zynga changed every single Mafia Wars account to properties in April 1st.
rackets are the "tabs" for newly activated account wherein for the older accounts we have properties.
Rackets are designed to pay out cash in the Mafia Wars game. They pay out cash every four hours to players who frequent the game.
No. The properties is an older version of the game. They (the mafia war gurus) are wanting & trying to update everyone with the Rackets version. But it's gonna (make mad) a lot of people who are opposed to change. Any change, any where, any how.
how do you get properties in mafia wars
if you don't have a property tab in Mafia Wars, you have the rackets tab. that's where you can get your money.
If you don't have a Properties icon, you have a Rackets icon and from these you can make money, and earn boosts for attack, defense, and reduction for job energy.
