Yes, the 140Mafia scoreboard does change, but, it is only the top players leap-frogging each other back and forth, and the only way anyone ever could start playing the game today, and get on the 140Mafia scoreboard, would be a miracle!
The reason I built this site, one year ago, I was a bit bored and had just started playing 140Mafia and the game offered little or no assistance to teach the new player, and the folks at levels 500 and up now, were at about 250 or so, and everything was "survival of the fittest" which is great, but, as a new player there are certain expectations, that are just unreal, and, after a while, I would imagine about 99% just quit playing, I wanted to help slow this. You may be surprised, but this site gets quite a bit of traffic, people come here looking for tips, and there are some, but the community I had hoped would develop, has not, but, I am not giving up on it.
Anyway, back to the topic. Those that are on the scoreboard stay there until they quit playing and someone else plays like a fiend and catches up to where they were and passes them, it is a long slow process, but, if you want on that scoreboard, do not quit playing, eventually, someone will stop, and you can catch them! I still play, sort of, but mostly, I am here to give others the XP they are after, so that maybe a newbie will get a break.
I still encounter the server issues now and then, but it has gotten better. I login, do a few jobs, but a bit of property, weapons as I need them, and even pick a fight or two, but the days of playing all day and night are long gone, the game helped me take a mental vacation, now, I just play to take a break, when I need it, and I love 140Mafia for that, but, unless everyone above me quits playing, my current level being about 176 or so, I will never catch up!
