Spend Credits

Players can spend credits on MafiaReturns for various perks that are tied to the master account. These perks generally last 30 days per purchase, but can be bought in advance prior to expiration and the time will be stacked. These perks are tied to the master account and not to the character; in the event of death any time remaining on perks will carry over to the next character created.

In addition to city and drug specific tips (cost of tips increase as you gain more drug units), the timers package also includes a 'Quick Buy' function on the drugs page, which allows players to instantly sell any drugs they possess and purchase a full load of the drug they selected to buy. The timers package also shows the current Minimum/Maximum and Average drug prices for each drug, grouped into city pairs (CH\DT and NY\PH).

  • Search Forums: Search the forums to find matching threads.
  • Profile Notes: Save personal notes on each characters profile.

Full Lockdown

  • Bribe the police to do a major crackdown and fill the jail of a particular city with hoodlums. You can then bust people out of jail to better your skills and gain experience points. You can purchase a large or a small crackdown.

A lockdown can be purchased for any city, a full lockdown can be bought for 1 credit, and a partial can be bought for 0.5. The total amount of people to be thrown into jail is displayed on the spend page, and can vary. Purchasing a full lockdown also grants your account the ability to be immediately released from jail if you fail a jailbreak.

From the jail page, you may now put in credits towards the next jail. This is done in increments of 25 cents and when the pool hits $1.00, then the jail will commence like normal.

Corrupt Agent

Corrupt Agents can be purchased at a cost 10 credits each, and players are limited to two active agents at any given time. When purchased, they can be accessed through the payroll.

  • Bribing a corrupt agent will get them to do your dirty work. He will give you drugs to resell at a severely discounted price, plus any drug seizures he gets, you get a little on the side.

Drugs are purchased from the agent at $4,500 each, the cost will be subtracted automatically from the selling transaction, which is based on the current price of cocaine in the present district. The formula for the units is 2(d)+ 10 where d is the amount of days active. Every 24 hours drug batches would be produced as 12, 14, 16, 18...

  • His official connections at work will also keep you from going to jail from failed jail breaks, as well as occasionally benefit your family members too.
  • After 1 month, his corruption is discovered and he is forced to retire.

    A Drug Front Property affected by DFP Stacking

The purpose of DFP stacking is to allow more buffer time between bribes, lessening the chance that a player would lose their DFP due to failure to bribe. When bribing for a DFP, the timer is still extended by 2 days, but the capacity of the timer is extended to 7 days. This perk lasts for 60 days each when awarded.

Armory Access

The Armory
Armory access costs 5 credits, but affects the entire crew of the purchaser. If someone desires a gun but does not wish to do the required petty crimes to obtain it, the player may instead opt to take a gun from the armory (the amount available varies upon how many people deposit their gun into the armory). Withdrawing a gun from the armory costs 1 credit. Players may also deposit their gun into the armory, so that another player may take it.

Reserve a Character Name

User not found
Reserving a character names costs 3 credits, and is tied to the master account. Paying it allows the player to use the reserved name for renaming a Corrupt Agent or a new character after death. There is no limit the amount of reserved names, and the reservation is permanent until the player manually deletes it. The names are not case sensitive. If the name is currently in use, it cannot be reserved unless the player is the one using that name. If a user of a reserved name dies, the name cannot be used until the deceased character is removed from the system. Character removal usually occurs about a month after said character's death.

If you have more than 500 hours played on your character you will receive a free one year reservation of the name. If you happen to still be alive at the end of that year, It is given after your character dies and will last for one year from that point. You may purchase a normal, non-expiring reservation of that name at any time.

Also, a small change, if you are currently using a reserved name, you may not delete the reservation of that name.

Forum VIP Status

  • Forum VIP Status - Highlights your name on thread listings and posts, and is colored by home city.

Forum VIP status costs 2.50 credits, and highlights your name when making forum posts according to your Home City. The city with the highest quality rank for posts made by VIP users is granted perks; this perk is currently being told the name of a targetable TylerDurden NPC member that is located in the same city as the VIP is presently.

Buy Credit Codes

This allows you to purchase the codes that are normally given out randomly through IRC or Facebook. You have the option to decide how many credits the codes are worth, how many codes and whether it can be redeemed by anybody or only members of a specific city.
