Forgive me if the title offends you, I am a World of Warcraft player myself and I know that no Facebook Game can ever EVER match up to the glory of World of Warcraft. What I am comparing here is the popularity and reach of the two games. Mafia Wars didn’t boom at first what with all its competition prancing around Facebook Games Directory, for a certain time, it remained in limbo until its competition starts falling one by one.
The difference with all these games and what Mafia Wars did right was probably take care of its community. Everybody started with the same strategy and business model. Game is text based. Loading time is fast. This is the type of game that you could play during short breaks.
Soon enough, you’ll find a Mafia Wars Gold Guide or a Mafia Wars Leveling Guide out there. Before long, you would see game guides that you actually have to pay for.
Am I exaggerating? Of course not! Have you seen the number of people who have been taking this seriously? Groups of people ganging up on each other. It’s insane! The steadily growing facebook game Mafia Wars may have a long way to go before it reaches the same status as World of Warcraft but what the Mafia Wars Cuban Expansion will tell you is that they are well on their way.
