To address the problem of large noob gangs earning loads of money from capturing turfs a new payment system for Mafia Wars has been implemented.
Making money for taking turfs and defending turfs has been removed.
Instead each turf your gang owns will earn the gang $5000 every 5 minutes (this amount is subject to change if $5000 is too much or too little)
The Formula:
HowMuchYouGet = (5000 / GangMembersOnlineAndInLV) * TurfsYouControl
So if you're the only one online and in LV and you own 1 turf you'll get $5000 every 5 minutes.
If you have 5 members online and are all in LV and control just 1 turf then you'll only $1000 each every 5 minutes.
If there are 50 members online + in LV and you control the whole of LV (54 turfs) then you would get $5400 every 5 minutes each.
The amount you each get is based on performance of the whole gang meaning that recruiting 100 noobs so you can take turfs quickly won't work because the money will be divided amongst each member meaning that a small but good gang will earn the most. Gang members will need to make sure their members are contributing towards the effort when they're in LV rather than just leeching off the work of the other members.
Oh and a little teaser of things to come:
You'll need to speculate on what this is about.
