Thanks for your patience this morning as we took the servers down for maintenance. Now that we're back live, we have started the process of repossessing the cash and streets from players that are cheating and returning those assets back into the game. The removal of accounts will be an ongoing process and it is likely that a player you have reported may not yet be removed. Take note, however, that we are monitoring them and will take action.
As a reminder, the rules state (just like Monopoly) that there should be only one game per person. However, to accommodate families and others who might be playing together, we do allow up to 5 players per computer. We ask that those playing the game honor these rules.
We will continue to delete accounts as long as it is necessary. Thanks for all of your feedback.

I've lost most of the buildings I built last night...
Nevermind, they just didn't load up with the others at first for some reason. All is good, and the game appears to be running more quickly than yesterday, which is a plus!
justin i have the same problem with you
how do you know this is the loading problem?
maybe this is the error made by mr monopoly

Nice shameless self promotion and self awarded non-title of "leading MCS fan site".
So much spam. What a douchebag.
me and my family use 7 accounts, but without cheating.
will two of these account will be deleted ?
please note we are not cheating.

Hi, my familyand I experience some strange bug that occurs quite often:
When trading streets with each others it sometimes happens that a street on the map belongs to a player but is listed in the "my streets" of the other player.
On the street theres always the note: (translated roughly from german) "this street is for sale. In exchange an offer for another street was made."
THis should occur, when the street is offered in a trade. But with the problem that the system doesnt really know who the owner of the street is it does not seem to be unblocked.
I suggest that all trade offers will be auto-cancelled after 2 days to ensure those blocked streets will be usable again.
@hpfx
According to the rules, you can only have 5 accounts per computer. I guess this means if you have two computers, you're not in violation. However if you have all 7 accounts on one computer then you are indeed breaking the rules.
At least that's the literal translation.
The developers would be smart to use methods that other games have used in the past. Such as hardware serial numbers. Some games I've played manage to enforce bans by using something like the hard disk serial number as a unique identifier.
Watch: CAPVLAD is a multiaccount, there is also CAPVLADH and CAPVLADR.
@ Tapewormz
If you are referring to MAC addresses, there is also ways around that just like IP addresses. Good suggestion though.
Hey there Mr. Monops. My family of 25 are really enjoying your game. Great job!!
We currently play on 5 computers each with a unique IP located in my basement. Oh its just a coincidence that all of our names are similar. We're just close like that...
Hopefully in due time we will see a leader board not slapped up with cheater accounts.

The game gets very boring, very quickly when you have 4 or 5 players sabotaging your streets, leaving you with no income. I see no reason why there shouldn't be a buy feature for bulldozer to get rid of sabotages, say, 500K money for each or something like that. It's to the point where I and others I know can barely play.
Ok, it's slow as all getout again. :( MOAR SERVERS PLEASE!
@ JAX
Excellent idea. The problem with that is, if you keep getting attacked by the same players you will eventually be left with no play money. And then, youd probably be even more angry...Amirite?
My advice to players. Stay OFF the leaderboards and do not mess with other players property or you will get payback.
Some noob sabotaged my street the other day. I had like $25mil in cash, and totally destroyed him to the point of bankruptcy. Its part of the strategic element of the game. Just like in real life, you cant just go around bulldozing peoples houses and expect them to just be cool with it.
I have a street with a Hazard on it but I can't see the hazard.. I have a "bulldozer" card but can't use it cause the Hazard building is invisible...
Nice! Two of my fully developed streets are now controlled by me and another user, way to go on the downtime. My two other unaffected streets have four hazards each, and this morning I got a $28mil tax chance card to leave me broke.
If the point of this game is to fairly play with a few well developed long roads, why does it take so long to put property on a road costing more than $8mil? And why do I keep getting penalized for building on my roads? At a level 4 I tried many tactics to build with the property available, but kept getting wacked with 75% & 80% taxes.
This game keeps getting more and more silly, it's no longer fun to log on and pray that you have enough money to try and bulldoze the multiple hazards before going broke. The chance cards have been coming up 4-1 hazard to bonus too, so there seems little point in trying to do anything but make someone else feel miserable.
@ DAN
Just like in the board version of Monopoly, there is LUCK involved. Deal with it.
@Mosquito said...
I'm sure there are many people who are with me on this. I hope your post gets deleted. Mr Monopoly pointed out that this is a family friendly site. There are many young people playing this game and reading this blog. Your profane venting should not be tolerated.
I agree, we all have our strong opinions about the issues, the flaws, the exploits, and other problems with the online Monopoly game. We do not need to blast the blog with your lack of vocabulary.
I hear ya policeman. I could better deal with the bad luck if I didn't also have to deal with sharing streets because of site maintenance, rule changes & restarts, and terrible loading times as my streets get hammered. It's just one thing after another with this game, and I'm having trouble rationalizing why it's even worth the effort anymore.
Too many demolition cards now! I get one every time I log in.
The ratio of demolition cards to bonus building cards is really too high. It's no longer fun.
It was way more fun before the re-set. You should just re-set it again with better chances and implement your game controls with a new, fresh start.
@ Mosquito
Every play the board version of Monopoly? In that game theres a chance card where you pay X-amount for every house and hotel you have...I've seen it bankrupt players in the game. There is luck involved, so either accept it, or dont play.
@ Matt
Im also on the national leaderboard and getting pwned by hazards lol.
I give up this game will never be free of people wanting to cheat seriously aint you guys got nothing better todo. I am now being targeted by a cheater and he literally crippled me within an hour. Wheres the fun in playing fair and im not gonna cheat maybe ill be back when the game is sorted maybe i wont.
What kind of a bug is this? After I logged in earlier tonight, my alert inbox informed me that someone had placed a prison on my street. When I go to my street, all I see are buildings that I have built. No prison, yet when I view the street property card, it says there is one there and I wont receive rent from it. I cant bulldoze it because I cant see anything there. What else is funny is that the entire street is occupied by buildings - there is no room to build anything else yet someone has managed to build a prison there?
Either someone is cheating (again), there are server problems (again) or this is one of those glitches (again).
@i am a sheep : same problem here
@ DAN
Please explain what you mean by "sharing" streets. Im unaware of this issue?
If youre saying another player has access to a road you own, then yeah, that is messed up!
The lowering of rent rates was a good thing even though it screwed a lot of people. The reset was a good thing. But theres no excuse for the loading times and memory issues, I agree.
If i were you, Id clear my temp browser files and cookies, reboot, and open up the game and see if that fixes anything. Cant believe youre sharing a street. Screenshots?
It's good to see the global board looking cleaner. I'd still like to see the local board clean up and it may take some time to rid the idoiot cheaters.
You think the saying is true?
"Once a cheater, always a cheater"?
In what other areas in their life do these cheaters cheat in life?
hahaa
what should do people who use proxy? with me also 87 people has the same ip address... 19 of them are mcs players... nice. so only 5 "chosen-one"-s can play? what we shall to do? ah.... of course no answer. Mr.Monopoly, thanks again u are not get tired to rejoice us.
@ cestvrai
Are you somehow from usa?
@The Policeman
No, I'm not talking about the MAC of the NIC. I'm talking about the actual serial numbers for the CPU and Hard Drives. It's the same way microsoft keeps tabs on what hardware you've installed a retail version of vista or windows 7 on. It's married to your hardware. If you try to install it on another PC, you'll get a nag and have to call microsoft and explain why you're putting it on another computer.
That's an example, but you get the idea. The serial numbers are easilly accessable for the CPU and Hard Drive.
@ For those have technical problems/glitches
Clean your browser, reboot, and re-login and see what happens. Also, it seems Google Chrome is the best browser to use for this game. At least for me, although I havent tried firefox.

@ Tapewormz
I gotcha. What games use this approach? Just curious..
@The Policeman
Sanctum is probably the only example I can provide that wouldn't be protected by a NDA. Others that I'm aware of, I can't disclose because of a NDA I signed.
I'm at work so I can't post a screenshot, but basically the sharing thing is one road owned by two people with two sets of buildings controllable by both users.
If I click on my streets it goes to mine, with my buildings and bonuses, where I can both buy and sell. If I click it in my profile or on the map it goes to the other user's bizrro world version, with their buildings and bonuses, which I also can both buy and sell. I assume it's reciprocal, but there is no way to contact the user.
@Mosquito said...
Hey, I guess it's moot where I'm from, I may be in the continental USA. I see I got your attention.
Maybe in person your probably a good guy but just on behalf of everyone else here, let's keep the language to G or PG as Mr Monopoly has pointed out.
Thanks :)
@tester-zero
You'll probably notice that while playing through the proxy, you can't sell any property. It'll say something like you've made 10 trades today, or something along those lines.
give us an option to delete our account
@loserman5000
Why would you want to delete your account? Just idle for two weeks and voila, All your base are belong to us.
:P
Well devs, you decided to screw me last night based, I can only imagine, on how many buildings I had on my expensive street. Despite playing by your rules, you though I had been a little too successful I guess, and took down 200 green houses, 180 bianco blancos, 28 bonuses and a smattering of other buildings.
In the two hours we've had since the offline time, I have build 432 new green houses, but none of them are on my expensive street. They are on shorter new streets, but pay the same as if they were on my expensive street.
It cost me $26million in fines to build them all. But, I'll get $21,600,000 in rent for them, I could sell them for half tomorrow for $10,800,000, so I figure I'm still ahead despite the taxes,
From putting them up, I also got 11 bonus buildings, all of which are on my expensive street.
Shortly before 00:00:00gmt, I will take my remaining money and rebuild bianco blancos. They cost 1.1 million and pay $750k per night, not a bad return and it saves time putting them up, as long as some numnutz developer doesn't steal them again. Assuming I put up 200 of them again, I'll get $150,000,000 rent tonight, and could sell them for $90 million tomorrow, so I figure I'm still ahead.
As long as some numnutz developer doesn't steal them from me again.
Your move, numnutz.
@ cestvrai
Ok thats explains it all :P
I know it's difficult to check "small" cheater, but there is a possible (a-ehm) multiaccount in my local board... there are a few user, called MM OOA, MM OOB, etc, down to MM OOZ. Please check if it's possible, thanks.
please put a delete account button as i would like to delete the 4 other accounts i m playing with, by the way please allow atleast 2-3 accounts per person because if the street gets sabotaged there is nothing to do. punish these ppl if there is inter buying selling of streets or if they r building hazards indiscrimiately.
@Tapewormz
I did not break anyrule that was not told before.
there was no restriction when we created these accounts. (not for cheating)
now the rule is here and that's it.
we have to stop two account... but how ? and which ? will we have the choice ?
@ DAN
The only thing that would explain that is that the database was compromised in someway. Im obviously an outsider looking in, so I have no suggestions for you.
When you click on "View My Streets", is it the same list of properties in your profile?
Also, did you clear your browser, reboot, and open up another one? Just a suggestion..maybe that will sort things out.
@hpfx
I'd say just get your family to select their five strongest accounts and only play those going forward.
I would say limit the amount of hazards on a street depending on the length of the street.
I also like the idea of the hazards only diminishing the rent value instead of outright negating it. One hazard should only subtract a little percentage of the rent value versus additional hazards subtracting a bigger percentage.
I'll admit that although I've played nice thus far, a local person attacked me by putting one hazard on a street of mine so I build that street up and put 4 on his most profitable street and 2 on his 2nd most profitable street. (He only has those two streets.) Now does that make me vindictive? Yes, but he probably shouldn't have sabotaged me when I did nothing to him. But that's how the game goes I guess.
Game works pretty cool than yesterday for me. Visit http://www.monopolycitystreetsblog.com for more infor on what i have to say.
Yeah I just purged rebooted and opened back up. It's still kinda the same situation, except now I no longer have the option to buy or sell on the bizzaro world streets. Both times my street list was fine, it was the streets themselves. I guess it cloned some streets and people bought them up after the system reboot, it was not like this in the morning. So now I have my streets and if I click the map and hit buy streets, I can make an offer on the other user's, but mine only shows up in my profile and the leaderboard.
This game is just one glitch after another, I just hope they do something about the load time building on long roads, in an hour I can build maybe fifteen grid buildings on my $20mil hwy. But that doesn't matter because it only takes a minute to drop a hazard on it, and I'm now broke until my million bucks for showing up at 8pm est.
I wish people would quit pimping their Monopoly related blogs and forums on here.
Dang, I may like the concept of this game and all, but you don't see me devoting web space to this failed game.
Your almost as annoying as Mr. Monopoly!!!
@ dan said...
please put a delete account button as i would like to delete the 4 other accounts
I would suggest selling back all roads to the bank on those accounts and just leave them alone I read somewhere that accounts left dormant for 2 weeks would be deleted
@ Developers
Nice job game seems much better but after rent is paid out will tell the truth on weather the speed of game play will be better.
BREAKING
============
Monopoly City Streets in Hybrid view video!!!
(Watch now in HD or full screen)
Blogpost & howto
============
So far the biggest complaints have been:
1. Game speed (very laggy)
2. Memory leak (contributes to lack of game speed)
3. Rent multiplier needs fixed (square root model most people favor)
4. Chance cards (too many hazards, and the inability to get rid of multiple hazards). I personally like how a hazard should only drop rent by a percentage.
5. Database integrity (seems people are owning the same streets)
6. Multi accounting (this is the #1 problem, yet the hardest to fix)
7. Zoom feature sucks (finding a long road requires constant scrolling down a highway)
8. Buildings and cash disappearing from accounts (I cant explain this)
9. Tax system (obviously needs revised or nobody is going to be a "property magnate")
Good luck development team whoever you are. Feel free to add to this list.
For people staying in universities and college hostels; they will find it difficult to use the given set of 10 public computers. My brother and his friends were crazy on this wonderful game but now I think their joy is cut short. Without this you could have thought about deploying someother kind of counter measure!
Not a game for people working in corporate houses that block entertainment portals like mine; we are however provided a cafe with 50 comps. Now with 1000 employees we will be screwed with all our efforts on monopoly with every PC registering multiple accounts.
You guys are indeed bringing in a lot of tactics to improve the game but these fail the users bigtime. Time for you move into 'strategic' measures rather than coming with this tactical "ADHOC" counter measures that shake the confidence of the gamers.
-JV
Does anybody knows an online game without cheaters at early stages?
Lots of games even with punkbuster's like utilities face this problems.
Here we're facing different kind of cheats / hacks, and even glitches from the game itself.
I have more than an account, like almost eveyone else and i used them to buy my neighourhood.
This kind of behaviour is the most talked one, but i'm guessing that there are worst, even because one account takes like 5-10 minutes of playtime, and then we have to wait until next day.
I know at my brothers school, that they are playing in their free times, one at a time.
Conclusion: lots of people with one PC and one IP:
A solution for this could be:
or allowing only a buy per day, you couldn't take advantage of multi-account;
or not allowing transfers between users with same PC or IP.
just an idea....
Forget leaderboards, PLAY for FUN.
The only way to cut back on the multi accounting is by disabling the trade function. I doubt they will do that. Plus, it wouldnt stop multi-accounters from hording streets anyways.
The only way to stop all this is to hire the best MMO gaming expert out there. Whoever that is? Someone mentioned somebody from "Swirve". I doubt Tribal has the resources to do such a thing. Hasbro needs to step in ASAP and up their resources if they dont want a failure.
@Hank
I agree, all the spam is annoying. Especially the guys who want you to download their calculators. Thanks, but no thanks...I don't need a virus or keylogger.
See how they should do it next time!
Monopo.ly
@ Tapewormz
I agree. Everyone on here should be aware of what you download. Any spammer wanting you to download their program is most likely targeting you for a virus or keylogger.
DO NOT DOWNLOAD MCS TOOLS!
WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS?
tsf and tsf42m are cheating
railtracer and aaron star are cheating as well
DONTMESSWITHME, DONTMESSWITHME1, DONTMESSWITHME2 are all at it again. Bombarding my streets with hazards and demolishing my most valuable buildings.
One hazard should NOT totally negate the rent from my street. Each hazard should only remove a percentage of rent. The more hazards, the less rent. When you reach a certain number of hazards, then the rent totally disappears.
Also, having the option to buy a bulldoze card would be nice as the demolish cards sometimes don't appear for ages, if at all. In the meantime, we don't have any option to remove un-wanted buildings and have to sit there and stare at them.
The take money away chance cards are still way too painful. And the leaderboard people are just targets. These two aspects of the game design MUST be fixed. They SUCK SUCK SUCK. Its not fair to take almost 90% of someone's money on a single chance card. that is just STUPID. where did you guys come up with these rules?
@ slashjesu said...
For people staying in universities and college hostels; they will find it difficult to use the given set of 10 public computers.
give me a break I have seen those universities campuses 99% of all students have laptops and there are tons of wifi hot spots with free connections.
@ Hank your right DO NOT DOWNLOAD these tool ain't nothing for free
I have tried to give the game time, I've tried to be positive, but the game is just too irritating to play.
Its SLOW (takes me about an hour to place 20 to 30 buildings). Been this way since the reset, no matter what time of day I try.
Chance cards are way too random. Lost 10m last night alone, on 20m collected in rent. PLUS, another player in my area was able to hit me 9 times, took out 4 out of 5 of my roads (again, just one guy, in 8 hours)... and that guy has less money than I.
The game is not fun, and almost not playable. I sold everything, and e-mailed service to delete my account.
My brother sold everything off too, but is probably to lazy to ask to be deleted.
It was a nice idea, but poorly designed and executed.
Hmmmm....missing 5 mil. today. apparently, I.m a cheater.
@ The policeman... I didn't call anyone names like you have, so I'll leave it up to others as to who looks like what.
Yes, I have had that chance card on the board game... not 2 times every turn I take though.
Yes, random can be too random. Many games have luck or chance or other things like this, its just too big a part of this game.
So much cheating not even worth my time anymore. Some will stay just under the radar like this guy, "thumb tax"
I think they need another restart, and maybe a few more after that.
are you guys deleting everyones accounts? please dont delete people who arent cheating
LOL, so when you say "We ask that players respect those rules," what you actually mean is, "We don't have any way to track or confirm this, I mean, hell, we can't even keep the game running, let alone monitor IP addresses, so you can just go right on ahead and use as many accounts as you want."
Did I get that right?
Can't wait for the latest round of backlash after you mistakenly delete accounts.
WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS?!!
On the topic of MCS tools -
Wake up, folks. It's a greasemonkey script, not a "program." It's not going to do anything harmful to your computer, except perhaps remove some of the last remnants of fun from the game.
Man, this blog is funny! FAILblog should probably just aggregate these posts directly onto their site!
WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS?!!
What about Cyber Cafe...............?
As similarly mentioned before by another poster (sorry forgot the name); I no longer play the game but come here to read the blog responses, as the content here is far more entertaining than the "game" itself.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it, "developers" / "marketers".
After some days without damage the other players I decided to attack my local leader with an hazard... I supposed he was a cheater and I was right. I've been immediately attacked by his multiple accounts! The only thing I can do now is discard every hazard or demolition card and hope he stop to picked me on. Surely I will never try to stop it again! It's not funny to play in this way! :////
well now that they've actually taken out a few of the best cheaters, I'd expect our next wave of whaaaaaaa will come from those players who are now exposed on the leaderboard. they used to be protected fomr showing up there by the powerful cheaters who could for the most part handle the "fame", now they will become the target of random attacks from all players.
WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS?!!
>>LOL<< I was in 1st place in the global leaderboards (KoricBrazil) after all the cheaters had been deleted, then I had an offer of 183k on a small street I owned (all my other streets had like 75++ hazards), so I negotiate and send a counter-offer of 250k... as soon as I sent the counter offer, I was sent to jail wtf hahah IT WAS A TRAP?? My account got (automatically?) deleted for sending a counter-offer asking for 250k? Just awesome, good thing I hadn't really played in the past 2 days, would have been more wasted time.
I'm glad I did a good deed before losing my wealth though, gave 1 billion to mariannemarlow a few days ago because she asked for it.
I would really like to see a seperate universe where there are no bulldozers and hazards, it's just a matter of who owns the most streets and who has the most money.
I can't sign in to my account. Why? I'm not cheating, that's not fair.
I can't log in!! The user experience in this site is really bad!
It says "problem logging in, please try again"
Seriously, this is very frustrating!
Lol this is messed up
Is it possible to withdraw from a negotiation? I mean, "take back" the offer? It doesn't seems like it, but it would be nice if I was possible. ;-) Keep on with the good work.
Btw people, "WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS?!!" is WRONG.
You can either say "WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS" or "WHOSE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS"
I've got a better idea. Post their usernames here, and we'll dump our unused property damaging cards on them.

You could try understanding what is happening instead of assuming you know more than those around you. Just a suggestion.
Also,
WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS?!!
Oh, and why can't I make an offer at the beginning of a day? It always says I've already reached 10 offers that day, when I haven't even made an offer for the past couple of days. It's just absurd. But it could be worse. :-)

Thank you guys, awesome game and a fantastic Idea. wish I could always play the Iron.
I dare not to login my account any more. I just can't get off the local leaderboard. Being bombarded by random players is no fun. I hope you can keep those high score cheaters so that they can cover me up.
Check out our blog, find out what happened with the leaderboard and how at>
http://bestcheater.wordpress.com
We've got them to fix monopoly let's find out later just how fixed it is find out on our blog first!
It's very easy to stay on the local leaderboard now. There are much less active players.
Just to continue with my complaint... For example, I had this street in La Matanza, Argentina, called "Tabaré" and now is owned by someone called "COMPRADOR22". I have another avenue called "Avenidad Coronel Roca" in the same place, La Matanza, Argentina, and is owned by someone called "PARQUE". I bought this streets, that's not fair, someone is cheating. I don't remember the other streets I owned, but I'm pretty sure someone rob me. If it works, please answer my comment so I can give you my username, maybe you can fix this problem...
@Richard
I know we were doing the community a favour by taking up global when normal players are on global they will whine about being destroyed! You can't win with whiners they just like to complain period

lol @ The Policeman.. you just have no idea how easy it is to make money on this game, do you?
Honestly, my 100 billion account got deleted, but it was not for being involved with multi accounts. Btw it took me 3 days to get that far, cooperating between 3 accounts only, then I didnt play for a couple days cuz it would take so long to spend all the money, it was just plain boring.
Anyways, I just started an account from scratch and within a couple hours (at day 0) I multiplied my money from 3 million to 60 million + 2 streets worth over 20 million, would be making a rent of 100 million on the first day if I could build on my streets, but with this lag its kinda unbearable to do so. Again, one account, starting from scratch, nothing more, 100 millions at day 0. Could turn into 1,5 billion by the end of day 1.
Until they fix the bugs, the horrible lag, and balance the chance cards, this game will be worthless.
I was expecting when some cheater accounts got deleted there will be some streets becomes available again in my city, but I still can't see this. And I've captured a few cheaters on my watch list since day one. They are still on my list today.
If the cheaters' accounts really got deleted. I think there would be some of them dumb enough to post a protest here, but I still don't see it. The only change we can see is the names on "cheater board" have been changed.
Does anyone sense that there are really a good load of cheaters deleted?
...and "The Policeman", who are you? You obviously don't work for Hasbro with that kinda language! Calm down buddy!

If Arthur is not lying. I think he have done some hacking. Or he have discovered some loop hole that is not widely known. Anyway, don't mess with them.

OK THIS GAME'S GOT A SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR CHEATING. IT GOES WAY BEYOND MULTI-ACCOUNTING.
USING FIREFOX'S "TAMPER DATA" ADD-ON YOU CAN CHANGE THE AMOUNT OF HOUSES TO ANY AMOUNT YOU WANT. THATS HOW SECURE THIS GAME IS...ITS NOT!
IM DONE WITH THIS GAME. THEYLL NEVER BE ABLE TO CONTROL THE CHEATING.
roflcopterfulness @ THE CAPSMAN
Of course there is a glitch you are unaware of. In fact, there must be dozens, but I only know a couple of them myself.
The one hint i'll give you is that it is possible to easily increase your money over tenfold per day just with one account, although it is faster with a couple.
You didnt seriously think people with 600 billions at the leaderboards had earned all that from creating 200,000 accounts with 3 mil each, right?
But it becomes a pain in the ass after you get to a certain ammount because you need to spend all the money continuously and trust me it is NOT fun to spend even 10 billions when the servers are lagging like crap, let alone 100+ billions.
Oh yeah and just so you don't think i'm making stuff up, here's an special extra hint for you just so you can taste it a little... check the user "lolness" out and wonder to yourself how in heaven did it manage to get NEGATIVE 68 BILLION score and money.
Yeah, i'm pretty sure there are glitches you aren't aware of, mr ALMIGHTY MUST-KNOW-IT-ALL CAPSMAN.
Cheers, enjoy the puzzle. And by the way, dont expect any more hints, this second one was already more than enough, just because I felt like rubbing it in your face just to show you how oblivious you are in this game. Sucks to be you.
@ ARTHUR
DONT THINK YOURE THE FIRST TO BE A FILTHY CHEAT.
IM UP TO PAR WITH YOU ALREADY AND IM NOT CYBER NERD LIKE YOURSELF. YOURE RIGHT ABOUT ONE THING, THE GAME IS WORTHLESS AND HAS WAY TOO MANY EXPLOITS. I GOT THE PUZZLE, YOU CAN TAMPER WITH THE DATA.
nah what i'm talking about has nothing to do with tampering data, you don't need anything else that is not already in the game. It isn't exactly cheating like the other methods, it is just a flaw in the game rules itself. More like bug-abusing than properly cheating. No wonder my account was the last one to be deleted, it didnt get caught like the other ones that were deleted for being involved with multi accounts and other cheats, but after all the others were gone I was left alone at the top with over 130 billions while the second place had 18, so they had to check me by hand and probably didn't understand where my money came from so they just sent me to jail (yeah it actually says that).
I'd be right back at the leaderboards but unfortunatelly I made a wrong move and messed up on my second account and got stuck, impossible to make ANY kind of move for about 20 days, but there are a couple billionaire streets waiting for me in it, even though they lost half their value after being heavily bulldozed and there are over 75 hazards on a single one of them.
It is common for a game like this got bugs or security hole, specially in the early stage. Hopefully they'll patch it.
At least they are doing something to make cheating not as easy as before. I'm still happy about it.
WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS?!!
@ Arthur
I find this intriguing. So when you logged in, it said "you've been sent to jail."? Quite funny if true. Post screenshot.
If you think the game is worthless, then why not just give out your method? Wouldnt it be more fun if you came on here and gave out your method so everyone could do it and make a mockery out of the game? By doing this you could kill the game or at least get them to fix it, if possible? If youre not using a cheat engine or tampering data, then I have no idea what youre doing.
This is a first version of the game and they are writing the game as we play. In other words this is the BETA year. I suggest everbody just chill a little and give them a chance. This is quite a big endevor. Just think, in a year or 2 this game will run smooth and may end up being the coolest game on the planet...well, besides Madden Football. LOL Go Redskins!

OK, has anyone noticed they didn't say a person could only have one account. All they said was one GAME per player. They may have meant one account per person but without saying that exactly I can already see the blogs on here:
Something along the lines of: "I am only playing one game, they didn't say I couldn't do it with 100 accounts."
5 players per computer????????????????
ID: FUTURE, FUTURE1, FUTURE2, FUTURE3, FUTURE4, FUTURE5,.........., FUTURE999
All the same player
If 5 players are playing a game in one computer than it is obviously that server is getting slow.
cable
they obviously WANT everyone to have as many accounts as possible, because this allows them to tell Hasbro, "oh yes we have 1.7 million users" blah blah. they don't care about the quality of your experience, they care about marketing success.
and if 1.7 million users was their max, you can bet that translates to well under 1 million real people.

@ryan: It is possible. I did something similar yesterday. Some guy put two hazards on my street, and for the next hour, I built green houses on small streets. That way, you can easily build 10 houses a minute, that is, it's not hard to get a chance card every 1-2 minutes. In that hour, I think, I got 3 demolitions and 6-8 hazards.
That has nothing to do with cheating, but with 5 millions, you can kill a smaller player by forcing to draw chance cards.
not when you have 1.3m 1 street 4 hours ago when I left to do a job.
now he has 4 2+mil streets. And I have been spying on him and the record indicates no demolishing or sabatashes.

JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS, YOU HAVE ZERO CHANCE OF WINNING AGAINST THE CHEATERS. THE CHEATING WONT STOP. THE DEVELOPERS ARE OUT-MATCHED AND CANT STOP IT.
OF COURSE THERE IS MULTIPLE ACCOUNTING CHEATS. BUT THERE IS ALSO PEOPLE USING BOTS AND TAKING ADVANTAGE OF SECURITY HOLES AND PROGRAMMING GLITCHES. SOME PLAYERS ARE EVEN MANIPULATING THE DATA SENT TO THE SERVER IN ORDER TO FIX THE PRICES OF HOUSES THEY BUY. YEP, YOU CAN RIG IT TO BUILD A CASTLE FOR $10 IF YOU SO DESIRED.
I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW THERES VERY FEW EXPENSIVE STREETS IN THE WORLD LEFT. IM TALKING THE VERY LONG ONES. HOW DO I KNOW? I JUST USED A BOT TO SCAN THE WORLD. IM NOT THE ONLY ONE DOING THIS.
THERES ALSO BOTS OUT THERE THAT ARE SETUP UP TO DESTROY YOU IF YOU SABOTAGE ONE OF THEIR ROADS. TALK ABOUT A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD HUH?
THERES BOTS THAT AUTOMATICALLY BUILD ANOTHER BUILDING IF YOU BULLDOZE IT DOWN, JUST SO A HAZARD CANT BE PLACED ON THE STREET.
THE LIST GOES ON! IM DONE BUT YOU GET THE PICTURE. THE CHEATING IS WAY MORE RAMPANT AND WIDESPREAD THAN MOST PEOPLE THINK.

Re: TAXES
Postby balaus » Thu Sep 24, 2009 6:25 am
I've a question (excuse for my English)
I've read that over 38 streets my taxes is 100%
How do I do to become a WORLD CHAMPION :) if I can't buy over 38 streets?
I think that the best way to tax is the geographical position of the streets and not the number.
So people are still cheating , Why ?????????
Just play the game as it should be and take your pleasure from that .
check out
www.wincitystreets.com
for a friendly community of players of monopoly city streets. We may not be the biggest but we the friendly ones !!!
@wincitystreets: "So people are 1still cheating , Why ?????????"
Because they can. It's naive to think that everyone will play by the rules if its possible and undetected if you don't.
Today in a few rounds I got penalized for 7.7m 1.4M 7.4M 4.5M 1.5M why?
I LOST MY MONEY. Is it a BUG ?
I bought a street from someone. But i did not get the street. But my money got deducted from the account.
Why did it happen ?
Please reply....
@Mario
I'm planning to compose a FAQ about rules of MCS. I've been commenting on the tax rule in this forum for multiple times.
To win the game you may grow in two dimensions. You can go either expanding or upgrading. Expanding means you buy more and more streets until you can't find any more available. Upgrading means you sell cheap buildings and buy more expansive ones, and increase your daily income.
Without tax rule expanding will be too powerful verse upgrading. Probably because the game designer found that, without some control, 20% of players will buy 80% of streets and their wealth will grow too fast. Tax rule cap the expand dimension, so players will have to balance upgrading and expanding. And some how they need to sell some of the cheaper streets they brought in earlier stage of the game.
TO IMPROVE THE GAME:
- possibility to talk with another player (or send a message)
- possibility to make an offer to sell the street, and not waiting for another player that makes an offer... so for the new player is better this solution also
The cause of two people owning the same street: its a race condition on the database, need to sort out transaction processing. I just bought at $10M road, got bored of waiting for the hourglass so clicked buy again, ended up being charged $20M and there are two copies of it in my list. Now wether a hacker can then exploit this to double up on rent i dont know...
@Super Rei:
Thanx for your fast answer
I think that the tax is necessary to play but it may be for the position and not for the number of the streets. In this way a street on Himalaya :) has a tax smaller than a street near via MONTENAPOLEONE.
This morning I sold 8 streets to decrease tax but this is not Monopoly. In this way I can't CONQUER the world but only 5 long streets (or a few more) with biggest palaces and a bonus building on.
WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS?!!
I bought a property but I can't put any buildings on it because it's not on the screen and I've no idea where it is. Also, I stubbed my toe in the bathroom this morning.
WHOS RESPONSIBLE THAT?!!
we have Silvio Berlusconi
WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS?!! :)
I think that tax must be review
the cheaters and bot blocked
This game is a great idea but may be better and much strategical and funny
@Mr Karl Marx
I had same problem.
1, select street
2, with card showing press zoom out - once
3, press build property and you should see cones. If not move around without clicking anything.
Good luck
.
@Mario
You're welcome.
It depends on how you define the phrase "conquer the world". If you mean to buy all streets on the map. You chance is slim, even without the tax rule. If you mean to be the wealthiest among all players. You can still do it by altering your strategy (if all cheaters are really out).
Anyway, have fun.

This game is flawed. The tax calculation goes against the spirit of the game. The rules encourage you to own many streets, yet if you own 38 streets or more, you make NO PROFIT because you are taxed 100%! That's nuts! Who gets taxed 100% of their income in real life?
HENDY2 and FLYBOY2 are the same person. He (or she) is going around sabotaging others. Check them out, let them have a taste of their own medicine.
Mr MONOPOLY! see the players ATZUY and ATZUX...they are the same person!
@ Super Rei
Thanx for your answer! :) (if you have a msn I prefer...this kind of chat is terrible!!!)
sorry but I think that the tax on a number of streets is wrong. In Monopoly I win If I buy every streets. Instead in this way I must limit my strategy at 5 streets. After reset I had 18 streets (small and big) with a good start incoming. Today I've sold 8 streets because tax was high. Well... my game is at the end because I can only build big palaces in this streets.
So...
1) why is not possible to have a geographical tax?
2) why is not possible cut off tax and have many evil cards?
3) why there is so many cheaters after reset?
I'm an another online game admin so I know the difficulties to admin an online game but I think that you could take hints by players how experience points.
hi
Mario i`m with You, and i wait too for answers.
Wow! for a free game, that a company has developed at their own expense, to have some fun and let others have some fun. people really do bitch about it a bit too much. Just play the game, have a bit of fun. If you don't like it - don't play it.
Take a look at SCOTT WP he has 42 streets just to hold them to his main account
thanx pan
I think that a good balance between evil and good cards is the key to have a great game
I hope the game admin listen to me :)
i'm new to the game...how can i register? i'm asked to login...but can't see, where to register new...
dear mrMonopoly help me...ROOKIE(main account), COUNTRYWIDE,OPRAHWINFREY, TEXASTWIT, JEREMBEE are the same people.
dear players of monopoly if you hate cheaters play destroy ROOKIE.
Olifati is cheating
FRAN is cheating...
A lot of gamers are cheating
There is no future in game for honests
mmmmm
I think... if original monopoly is the most known game all over the world with his rules, why don't use same rules here?
please DELETE cheaters and change the tax rule :)
Use Sidewiki on www.monopolycitystreets.com and you can chat with other players !
This is just ridiculous. LOL
Why even bother to play the game if you're gonna cheat? That's like going to play trivia and having your laptop there so you can look up the answers. Where's the fun in that?
And it's not like there's an actual prize. Not that I've heard of anyway. It reminds me of some of the guys I play pickup basketball with that take it way too seriously and act like they're playing to get signed onto an NBA team. LOL
I take back everything I said about the cleaver use of game's mechanics by the so called cheaters. If what MrMe is true, than it is an exploit and using exploits is the same as cheating.
It can be calculated, how much money one can earn by this day, so everyone having more than the maximum, should be considered and exploiter.

@Mario
Actually, if all streets pay same rent. The optimum number of street you should own is 19~20. So you may consider to buy some streets later.
About you questions. My idea is as below:
1)Not sure what is your idea about geographic tax, but I think the design the developers don't want to introduce actual geographic data in the game for implementation simplicity and easy to balance.
2)Tax is a way to limit expanding. Without it there will be no point to build expansive buildings. You may have more creative idea to achieve this goal, but keep in mind that the target player of this game is from kids to adults, so you the rules should be easy to understand.
No one like evil cards but luck is always part of the game Monopoly. The amount of penalty is sometimes too high. I think some adjustment is required. I guess the amount on a penalty card is calculated by a % of your current cash balance or total asset value. I would say a maximum of 50% of current cash level would be appropriate. Bonus cards are usually fixed value no more than 0.5M. So chance card act as another money sink in the game.
3)Why so many cheaters? The brand name of Monopoly plays a key role. The more players, the more cheaters. And so many people "fall in love" with some streets since they use the real world map in the game. So they do whatever it takes to claim them. Since most likely you can't buy all streets you love on day one with only one account and 3-4M. So they created multiple accounts because it is so easy. After reset the problem is even worse because for one week cheater already have a good understanding on how the game works and where are the loop holes. Finally I have to say the security measure of this game is below standard on day one. Making it extremely vulnerable. It is common for online games have security problems at the early stage, but in MCS there are a bit too many.
Check my profile for MSN.
So this is so much fun. I got hit for 3 negative cash chance cards for a total of just over 50 million. I had only 250 million to start with. So 1/5th of my total money is gone now, because I had the GAUL to build some nova tower blocks on my streets. I will take me THREE GODDAMN WEEKS OF RENT to make that money back. FUN FUN FUN.
I am going to post here EVERY TIME I GET THIS STUPID CARD until you IDIOT DEVS FIX IT. YOU MUST REMOVE THEM, OR CAP THEM AT 500k like the positive cash cards. THEY ARE SO DAMN UNFAIR. IT IS NOT FUN YOU MORONS.
Has anyone tried selling a park? I had 40 Million and my money zero-ed out.
However, it appears to be just a glitch. When I logged out and logged back in, I got my funds back. Probably should be fixed though.
Lol this must be a joke,
38 streets = 100% Tax?
No words to explain this FAIL... goodbye Monopoly
Yeah! Another 22 Million (out of 49!) Gone to another chance card! Thanks alot developers, you made a really fun game! That takes me to almost 75 million out of a start of 250 million because I actually BUILT something. 4 SCREW YOU chance cards drawn in about an hour! YEAH FUN!
