and scroll to the bottom of the page.


Please note that although this post is blatantly biased, we have mostly only presented you with information from 3rd parties.
If by any chance you’re thinking that this was kind of a one sided argument which was unfair to Zynga, if you happen to be feeling sorry for them after reading this – DON’T. Zynga made $50 million last year from people like you and I and are projecting much more revenue for this coming year. If you are wondering how they do it – it’s through sheer ruthlessness, zero customer care and endless strategic marketing ploys, the largest example of the latter being the conditional ability they grant us to use their apps providing you help them suck more people into the game. Ever gone to buy something or pay for a service somewhere, to be turned down unless you invite more people to partake? No.
Do you really think Zynga deserves your sympathy?

We hope you found some of the information insightful and please do keep returning, as we will be updating continuously.

P.S We offer our most sincere apologies if this post gets repetitive or annoying over time, but we have taken it upon ourselves to do all that is possible to ensure every last Zynga user has access to this information – sooner or later…

Hello CH,

Thanks for contacting Zynga.

Please be informed that the game developers of Mafia Wars are aware of this issue and are working hard to track it down and fix it.

We do appreciate being informed of these types of issues as they do appear from time to time; however, additional tickets on a single issue only increases the time it takes us to research your issues and may delay us in resolving them for you.

Please help us help you by submitting only one ticket per issue and by adding any additional or supporting information that you might have to the original ticket.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Best,
Zynga Customer Support

Obviously their support doesn't know how it works. You are making 53400 dollars a day in 3 hour increments. So divide 53400 by 8 and you find out what your 3 hour take is. I'm showing 66,750 every three hours when I divide it.

I removed Mafia Wars because I kept being attacked by players 300, 400, 500 levels above me. I complained to Zynga. Nothing.
One group of Mafia Wars players attacked me constantly for over three weeks straight, couldn't even play the game anymore. I complained to Zynga. Nothing.
The same group of players started harassing me through messaging because Zynga allows other players to see your real name in Mafia Wars. I complained to Zynga. Nothing.
Guess what Zynga, your allowing people to harass others on the net. That is a crime. You'll get whats coming to you eventually.

Thanks for contacting Zynga.

As per our records your account has been reactivated as it was banned earlier for transferring or trading of chips.

This is the reason for which you have lost 90% of your total chips and you have only received 10% ( and to a maximum of one million) chips after re-activating your account.

Our reinstatement terms:

We are willing give you another chance and restore your account but with your chip stack returned to 10% of its previous total (up to a maximum of 1,000,000 chips). By reactivating my account, I agree to follow the Terms of Service going forward and understand that a second offense will result in my account being permanently banned.
