the good old days

I saw a thread in my news feed about old school Mafia Wars, and it really gave me a laugh.

What do you remember from the old days?

I remember when New York was the only city, and Armored Limos were king. LOL, when they were still Armored Limos! And later, when Cuba came out, remember how popular gaff hooks were?

I remember when it was considered bad gameplay to attack someone more than 3 or 5 times. In fact, I even mentioned that in some of my earlier Mafia Wars notes! Oh, how things change! These days when someone whines about getting hit X number of times, I say "So what? How much health do you have?"

Not to mention there are far fewer targets on the fight lists these days. We can't afford to count how many times we hit someone!

It's interesting too, to reflect on the 'evolution' of my game play and 'ethics'. Way back when, I was one of those angry ranters always going off about Zynga and other stupid players. While I clearly haven't lost the touch for a good angry rant every once in awhile, I've learned that just bitching about the game doesn't solve anything, and I've learned to be much more tolerant of the publishing and game play habits of my friends.

What do you remember about the good old days of Mafia Wars, and how has your game play changed since you started playing?
