Is it time for a Revolt? 140Mafia gamers want more!
December 2, 2009 by OpinionHead · 3 Comments
In the last few days there has been a lot of activity on the lolplaying forum, where many of the upper level players are voicing their concerns about the developers of the game, 140Mafia, as a fellow player, I am with them, I have been playing only a couple of months, at a lower level, but I can see where they are coming from.
This site was created for us gamers, a place to hang out, away from LOLplaying’s control, and yes, there are a few members here that have formed the MOB Cops, but I believe that is a futile effort. Why? There is absolutely no way to help from the outside, it must come from the developers of the game. I almost sympathize with the bullies! We all play these games for fun, but what happens once the challenge is gone?
Once a player reaches level 50, if they reach level 50, it is all about buying weapons and getting XP (experience points), which come slowly, and is very boring, from doing jobs, but fighting an opponent that has more weapons than the “ghosts” do, will earn you points, and give you something to do, besides watch the timer for jobs, the problem is, there just aren’t enough players in the upper levels, from about level 100 on up, so, all there is to do is attack lowers or trade XP with another upper.
The demands are simple, add more excitement, add even more weapons, more properties, maybe some free Godfather points or XP bonuses, something to make it as challenging from the beginning at level 1 on up. I think that LOLPLAYING could even profit from it! I have purchased XP points, that I never received, by joining a book club, but, if there were weapons or properties that you had to reach a certain level, AND have a certain amount of Godfather points to redeem. I could think of several ways that the game could be made more exciting for everybody.
Along with more goodies for the upper levels, maybe even XP penalties for attacking the lower levels, that would keep the uppers from attacking, hey, if you lose XP instead of gaining it, why bother, right? Maybe even limiting who can collect on the hit list, if you add someone to the list, you can’t be the one to collect.
As everybody here knows, I have more than one game going, so I can learn it as well as enjoy the challenge, I have one in the low 20′s the 40′s the 60′s and the mid 80′s, and I have to admit, the lower ones are coming up better than the higher ones, because I have learned a few things along the way, and, it is still a challenge, I don’t know what I will do once the fun is gone. For me, reaching level 100 is still a thrill, to get to that level is my goal, but, as anyone will say, the fight list is getting smaller, many players are in my mob, but there are also less players the higher I go, that is why I am with those that want to Revolt! There must be a way to get LOLPLAYING’s attention! They have a good thing that could be even better, for them and us!
Maybe we should create a list of ideas? Surely, someone has already done this, lets put it together as a petition or something, we need to organize a bit and not look like an angry mob, no pun intended, so, post your ideas here, sign up, go to the forum and post your ideas, I am also setting up a petition page, look to the navbar and be sure to sign it!

As far as multiple game accounts go, and getting banned, hey, I look at it this way, if they want to kick me out, it will save me from leveling up and getting bored! I play each one as a separate game, I don't trade XP with myself or any of that, I just get bored! Waiting on the timers for more stamina, energy, or cash gets boring, I found a way to not be bored. They know, as everybody knows, many people have more than one for the same reason, or maybe the other reason. If they ban everyone that has more than one account, there won't be anyone left!
