Which one were they talking about? 888? Something different?

"Fix" should be used with extreme caution around here.

CJ put it best...


So, one of the bugs that this was addressing: Since the beginning of the game, actually impossible to get above 1000 real people (around 1000 anyway, the exact number varied) connected to your account; going above 1000 would add "ghost" mafia (basically the number on your profile would go up but the person wouldn't be added).

A lot of people, when they got to several thousand mafia, would start wondering why they couldn't see their recently added friends and then start removing people, until they'd only see a handful of real people and the rest would be ghosts. Some players didn't really notice at all, but now do. So there was a lot of confusion already with the existing bugs.

We haven't seen a confirmed case yet of someone losing real people (just those people no longer counting towards the game total). Also, the first reports that we received of people suddenly losing mafia came in after we made the forum posts last night and before the actual change went out this morning, so at least some of that was preemptive terror.
