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.

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.

Mafia Wars New York Properties Upgrade

Facebook Mafia Wars is gonna start pimping the New York properties.


We'll be introducing some changes to promote the return of robbing!

1) We'll have properties switched to Flash mode, so make sure you have the latest version.

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!

5) All properties will have the same payout over time that they currently do, but some of the rates will change. They will take between 8 hours and 2 days to fill up. For example, say you currently owned 2 mega casinos. They produce $1,800,000 every 3 hours for you to collect. In the new system, you will now own a single level 2 Mega Casino, and it will produce $28,800,000 every 48 hours for you to collect.

6) You can only collect on your property once it is done producing. There will be progress bars and countdown timers letting you know how long it will be before you can collect on each property.

7) Properties will no longer "shut down". *Note: This only affects users who have started playing in the last few months.

8) People who have Rackets will be folded into the new system as well, but that change will take place a week or two after the launch of the new properties.

An important point we want to emphasize is that you will NOT be losing any money when we change the New York properties; it will all stay within the game. These upgrades are going hand-in-hand with the robbing feature that we'll be bringing back due to popular demand.

Hope you guys are looking forward to this change.
