Mafia Wars Bangkok is now officially in open beta! If you've already collected the 3 hidden items in the New York jobs and are level 18 and above, you're eligible to grab your passport and continue growing your Mafia empire in Thailand!

There are three ways to get your passport - see the clerk, ask your friends, or bribe an official. You can only see the clerk once a day for a passport drop. If you don't get one on your first try, don't give up - the clerk will grant you access soon enough if you keep being persistent. You can also post a request for a passport and see if some of your more well-connected Mafia members can hook you up. If you're really itching to get your travel started, bribing an official is your guarantee for instant access. Not only will you get a passport for yourself, you'll get 3 additional ones to hand out to some very lucky Mafia members.

Our goal for this passport distribution system is to maintain a steady flow of users coming into the new city to keep the Bangkok servers running smoothly for everyone. We want to provide exciting and uninterrupted game play for all, while giving you a fun and challenging obstacle to conquer.

So, once you have your passport in hand, pack up your suitcase and go master Bangkok! Good luck to all! Click here to play.

From,

The Mafia Wars Team

    If you’ve logged in today, you may notice a new Elder. This one’s name is Jeremy and he’s a Collector.
    Well, when it comes right down to it, he’s THE Collector.
    The (New) CollectorJeremy will gather items you’re going to need and all he asks is a bit of blood…and some punctuality.
    Read on for more details…

    Under the Elders tab, select Collector. You’ll be presented with several options, listed below.
    The “Collection Time” is how long it will take for Jeremy to return with your item. The “Decay Time” is how long Jeremy will wait before getting rid of your item.

    Log in to Vampire Wars and click the Lock at the top of your screen to open the Portal to enter a whole new zone!

    When you do, you’ll be greeted by a new Elder, named Sagaan.

    There’s something that Sagaan needs you to take care of. A situation that requires your special skills.

    Once you’ve arrived, you’ll find new abilities, new missions, and a chance to win 1000 Favor Points!

    But hurry, Vamps, the Portal will not stay open forever.

    There’s only one way to make sure you get to experience everything…
    Hey Vamps!

    The winners of the New York Events have been selected! These lucky players were randomly drawn from almost half a million entries.

    All of the prizes have been awarded already so, if you see your name on the following lists, check your character to see if you’ve won.

    Remember, more than one Vampire can have the same name.

    We’d like to thank everyone that participated in this event. We had a great time putting it together and we hope, despite some of the problems, you enjoyed it.

    If you didn’t win, don’t get discouraged. We’re working on more events (with some of your suggestions in mind) and you’ll have more chances to win in the future.
