I've personally been really excited about this new look for mafia returns and am wondering when it shall be released? Something that has bothered me nothing much, just like to know when to take a day off work :p

I was unaware of this change actually. Where did you find it? Is there test screenshots or anything?

I saw a preview a few months ago :\ not sure if its the same but it was on IRC I heard this. Any Admins can answer this?

never heard anything about a new look for MR although i know the mobile version needs a revamp (it doesnt have a bank link)

I heard a little whisper it may be ready for us by christmas.. so we will just have to be patient and wait a bit longer.

Thank you for that Barnie and thanks to the others who kept this thread at the top of the OOC until Barnie could answer it properly. Looks like I dont have to call a sicky if it comes by christmas.

Is it just me hoping we stay grey for a while yet?

The game/features has changed.. The way the game is played has changed. Why not go with the flow and bring the visuals upto date. It does look nice though.

Also, i thought i heard (maybe wrong) but you will be able to play it as it is now.???

As far as I'm aware, you can't decide which UI (User Interface) you play on, when it switches to the new one, that's the only one you can play on.

If you are wondering what it's going to look like. www.mafiareturns.com/ui

your going to take a day off work just to look at something you could look at in work?!

Sammy I sure hope that you can choose. I like this one better than the other but I'm also a fan of don't mess with a good thing.

It will be ready when it's ready. It will look how it looks. It will have the features it has. Maybe it will eventually be skinnable.

Honestly, what does it matter? Just let the coders do their work. It's a free game and the least we can give them is our patience.

Not like you have a choice in the changes now is it?/

The computers at my work block all sites other then ones nessercary, so I would :P. Ophelia i don't have a choice but i would still like to know? I personally like the new look and that crew chat thingy.

I am not looking to get into a debate about this but, free game? Been a long time since it was even close to that.

If you're not looking for a debate about it, you're better off not posting. As far as the outlook, I'm surprisingly shocked but it doesn't look half bad. (Though, the option to play on this design would most likely get used by the older players, maybe offer it if people have been playing for x amount of time, or add it in like the timers are?)

Eww...

Why would it go from this...To...that?

You posted a comment in a public forum that is bound to start a debate. Regardless of if you WANT it, it will happen.

Now, tell me... HOW is this a pay to play site? You are not forced to pay a monthly fee or yearly membership. Those who do donate and receive credits have no advantage or special toys that you yourself cannot get without game cash. You can buy the same features that those who donate and get credits for doing so can. You do not have to use your hard earned "Real Life" dollars to play in any way, shape, or form.

The only advantage those who donate have is they can make some cash on selling the credits they received as a "Thank you" for their generosity.

get without = get with.....

i actually dont mind the new look UI.

Cringes.

I hope this doesn't turn out to be a full blown argument again about the advantage of piling real money into the game. :x

I'm with dirty rags on the look.
