Finally! the new Mafiacorruption has been launched after an unexpected delay for a week, we’ve been working on the new version of the game for months now and I am extremely excited about it going live, the new version of the game has been launched under server 3 which is a brand new fresh server. The updates will later be moved to server 1 and server 2.

The new version comes with a complete revamp of the old design, a home with flash animation and around 12 custom designed pages inside the game which I’ve worked with the designer on for around a month, this is totally new for us in our games and in most other games that are similar where we would usually design a home page and an inner page only.

Beside the new design the game comes with a number of new features such as a custom coded merit system, ranking system inside the game and advanced search features along with updated features in the gangs.

Lets go through the major updates shall we?!

The home page!

Here is a preview of the old home page…

And here is the new home page, check it out live to see the animation.

As I mentioned the home page was only one of 12 other pages that were designed for the game, here is a preview of the old profile page:

And here is the new profile page which now displays more information about the member as well as displays his awards and rank which are two new features added to the game.

And the old inventory page:

And the new inventory page, other than the nice new look, you can drag and drop your weapons and armor from the right hand side in certain locations, the character that represents you also changes depending on what character you selected when registering to the game.

This has been a long awaited launch and was a good chance to do some house cleaning, our server admin moved the main server from mafiacorruption.com to s1.mafiacorruption.com and mafiacorruption2.com which was server 2 to s2.mafiacorruption.com so this made mafiaocrruption.com as the portal page from the game where you can login to any server you want from.

We will soon be moving to Hitmanslife and implementing a similar structure and updates to it with more features as well to differentiate it from Mafiacorruption.com

I picked up a website a couple of days ago from flippa which is bascially a similar website to flippa, sitebidding.com allows you to post your websites and domain names for sale, however it has a cheaper price to add a listing, further more it offers the option for the buyer to send the payment to sitebidding paypal address where the funds will remain until the buyer confirms receiving the files/domains in which case the payment will be released to the seller.

I am not sure if I am going to keep this feature or not, clearly this will need allot of daily work as well as being a big responsibility, I am going to make a decision about this later, however my plan is to revamp the current design and layout of the website and look into marketing and promotional methods, if marketed well and the fact that posting is free on the website, an edge over other websites such as Flippa will be present, I have high hopes of turning the website around and be a big success, lets see how that goes…
