Zynga's solution for those locked out of City of Traverse

It stinks that Zynga has forgotten about so much lately. I guess Mafia Wars really is the "redheaded step-child" now :( We haven't had a This and Next Week post for a few weeks now. We haven't gotten daily free points for the last 2 days, probably because someone forgot to  schedule the next set of links. And I also heard about players getting locked out of the City of Traverse ahead of schedule, with no resolution. Good thing I didn't pay to get back into City of Traverse. Zynga did find the time to post this about the district's early closure on their official blog last night: 

Due to a design flaw, for which we apologize, a limited number of players who paid to extend the City of Traverse Secret District were inadvertently locked out recently. This was not an intentional element of the game. Over the course of the next few days we will identify those players who made the purchase for the extension and reopen the City of Traverse for them. In case we are not able to do this, we will provide those players with the mastery item and experience that they would have received if they had been able to complete the district.

Because we have been able to identify this issue and will be providing a resolution to those players who paid to extend their access to the Secret District, there is no need to contact Customer Support about this incident. CS agents will not be able to make any adjustments or credits to your account over this matter.

Thank you for your patience,
The Mafia Wars Team
