We’re hard at work fixing some of the street data mismatches that a number of you have reported. Unfortunately, it’s taking a bit longer than expected. We’ll expect to be back up and running within 3 hours.
There is no people sending post there. It's a bot! The plane is over hawaii by now, and drinks with umbrellas are flooding the compartment. Our only hope is they crash on Lost island...
Unless the game takes a really really long time to come back, I'm thinking that the auction will start when the game is back and end tomorrow at 6:00PM EST (USA).
sorry your auction is interupted, i think people will have to see what cash/streets they have left first though personally im concerned about the 83billion i raised in my auctions and to its whereabouts
i live in Brazil, and so far i haven't seen this board game version on local stores. i tried to buy it online but even on Amazon.com they don't deliver it to Brazil. i do believe that we're thinking about selling the game board before Xmas on local stores so, could you please update your www.hasbro.com/brazil for us to know where can we buy it? thanks don't forget that we're almost 200 million potential customers...
double rent LOL you must be joking remember when you had 5billion in the bank and you woke to find you had 3 million and all your streets were stripped clean
After plublish maintenance page, the guys runned a script with standard filters and crossfingered that it works... Two hours playing golf with a glass on the carpet they found a huge txt listing the errors founded(or produced, who knows) by the filter scripts and the database worst than ever... New deadline for the morons(as they call the players) and trying a new script...
maybe we'll get the new Sketch-Up buildings today....Would be cool...perhaps the delay means they're fixing the building limit too. Thanks for the attention today Hasbro/Tribal we do appreciate the posts and hope to see more posts from you than we have lately. My family are waiting for our Monopoly City board game to arrive, hopefully today. We'd also be very interested in some stats from you, how many are playing, when the game officially ends....etc....
Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. Just got too fed up with the slow response, the offers on properties disappearing and not getting your money back, etc...
it didn't work... big jon... calle de el paso... can't build on it, it's been "offered for sale" for two weeks... can't do anything with it, but just adds to tax loss
Many of us who are interested in this style of game have joined to create an open source alternative to MCS.
We plan to have the game ready for players prior to the January shutdown of Monopoly City Streets. We are adding lots of great features to enhance the game, and fixing the fundamental design flaws to provide a game with long term potential, where you can develop real strategy and build a true empire.
Many developers and designers are already part of our team. We welcome everyone, whether you're interested in the coding or design parts, or just have some ideas to share.
mad props to you. 25 minutes in and it's already hard to keep up with rejecting lowest offers. lol I can't imagine how crazy it will be as the closing time approaches.
The auction is well underway. Already 8.9B total in bids on 10 different streets made so far.
Now it is worst. The streets that were in the "limbo" are mine but they are purple. I think I'll be paying taxes for them but I cannnot build nor sell them.
They jailed all local users on the wireless system here Ordinairy players who are on the topscorelist between position 1100 and 950, not even big players and the account that is really cheating is still alive
When it came back, all my offers on streets (which had been sitting there for almost two weeks) were rejected, the streets were sold to someone else, and I got screwed yet again by this game.
Nothing happened. You just got really unlucky. It just happened to you, but there's a good chance that it will happen to your opponents eventually too so it is sort of fair. Just gotta roll with it. Sometimes, you can build hundreds of buildings without a single penalty, and sometimes, you get 75% taken out for days in a row.
Auction Update: 14.1B in offers on 15 streets.
Highest active bid: 3.5B on I-40 Service Rd Lowest active bid: 90M on Boyers Rd
Jailing everything except for the accounts that really are hacking, they have absolutely no clue what they are doing, white hat "cheaters" are put in jail because they SHOW at least what is wrong with the game, but the real hacks that are not shown in the open are still up and running.
There are some real hardcore hacks and hackers going around, you cannot even call them cheaters anymore. But the blindfolded deaf and mute dev's at hasbro don't even notice them.
When players are complaining they take the easiest way, blame the one that is visible and "sell" a story that the game is fixed.
STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID
Please go back to school, take some lessons in basic and start playing with dos2.0 and maybe in a few years if you master pascal, you can go back in the real world of programming.
ANYHOW ======== If hard hacking without any consideration is the only way to play the game, so it be.
Looks like green house recycling no longer works. would't it be great if this changes on rules were posted on the blog? If you start playing with a set of rules it would be great to keep them, and if you want to chenge them in the middle of the game you should at least tell.
ok as i continue to clear out streets that are of no use to me, feel free to make offers to any street on the account: SLOWTOFASTEST
some are built, some are clean, some can be moved right away and some have to wait 24 hours and i'll add more in the next day or two as i finish making decisions and cleaning off my family accounts which are going to be mothballed.
ok so what is the point of removing recycling? you now can not protect yourself? you wont delete them for cheating(after 5 mails) but you help them! :@ no you have destroyed the game, how can anyone compete with this!

They did mention earlier that they would be limiting the number of chance cards per turn. So what is this intended to do? It makes it harder for someone to effectively use hazard/demo bots (rapidly buy/sell green houses to farm chance cards). For someone to continue to do so means that they will need to use a lot of alias accounts to even get to the point where they can significantly sabotage someone. The example above will become blatantly obvious and will be easier to isolate and eliminate. In the short term, people will still get hit, but I expect in the long term that such accounts will be dealt with quicker than before.
Uhm. Getting rid of the cheaters/hackers/whatever-you-want-to-call-them was good.
But, has anyone here considered that many may get thrust into the National and Global leaderboard after rent tonight?
With no cheaters to pad the boards, I'm thinking we might be a tad sore tomorrow from the beating we will take...
I know a guy ahead of me in the local leaderboard has been staying JUST UNDER the limit for making the National Leaderboard. As of tonight, he will make the Global (If scores stay similar to now)....
yup gabe hes got over 40 accounts,but hey they wont do anything about it.. my local board consits of him the minute u move up it u are bombarded. They cant control they cheats really bad coders/admins!!
and being clever is to seriously hack the game, because that is the only way to win.
So DO NOT CHEAT !!
Steal streets from others "buy" (read steal) offered streets from others use as many bots to kill every other player (it is proven bots don't go to jail)
All other official ways to play the game will result in a jailed account
Thank you for the update and for the hard work guys. It's a pretty nice game, except for the cheaters with multiple accounts used to buy small roads with hazards buildings on them at high prices and stuff like this. for example, main account: ELORATOS82 second account: EUGE82. If you can, check it, that's annoying :) thanks, bye.
You need to fix the utterly absurd fines. They add absolutly nothing to the game. I was just fined 900 million dollars in 4 chance cards, and I only had ~1.3 billion total.
It wouldn't be so irritating if there were actually good 'positive' cards to balance it out. It is ridiculous that the good cards are a set amount (eg 500,000) but the bad cards take a percentage (eg 20%). WHY? Just to make people playing your game mad? Please tell me what it adds to the game other than pointless irritation.
Speaking of irritating chance cards, every time I get one it resets the view of the map to the default for whatever street I am on. This is the complete opposite of helpful. It drives me insane to drag the screen 10 times to get to place a building, only to get a chance card and have to do it again after every 4th or 5th building.
I hope you guys start fixing the problems that everyone complains about. If you want a good game it has to be about the people playing it, not about what you want(even though you made it)!
If an aspect of a game is working as intended, then the reasoning, "I don't like it," is not enough to warrant a "fix." A few incidents of extremely bad luck is not broken. For some pretty compelling arguments for why the penalty cards should not be changed see here: http://mcsstrategy.blogspot.com/2009/10/horrible-penalty-chance-cards.html
There's really no better alternative. If you have the positive cards equal the negative cards, then in the long term, you get a net change of zero. Might as well not have the positive or negative cards then. If you have positive cards greatly outweight the negative cards, then 1) you will have more score/cash inflation, and 2) instead of complaining about how unlucky they are, people will complain....well, how unlucky they are not to get as many positive cards as the other guy. So the only other options are not much better than what we have now, and the way things are extends gameplay somewhat by slowing growth. While this is frustrating on a day to day basis, you get a little bit additional playing out of it.
Well, it is not only 'bad luck' I get at least one 1-200million one a day. My point with the comparison to positive cards is that relatively, the positive cards are not positive at all. It is pointless to add 500,000 to your account when most people who play the game regularly get millions+ in income every day.
I appreciate the randomness of it, and the idea. (I never said "I don't like it") It is only the frequency and amount that I think is ridiculous. i.e. If you are going to take away 10% of my money every day on average, why not just institute a 10% tax? My point was that it seems NOT to be random since it happens so much.
As for them "doing what they want" - I know they CAN. It doesn't mean they should if they want to make people happy and have a good game. The cost has nothing to do with it.
i've noticed the changes taking place with my "stuck" streets. but for some reason, there's still one that i can't reclaim/ditch. (while it was "stuck" i deleted ALL the buildings on it hoping *that* would "release" it for me. that street is still frozen.)
still can't build on specific streets especially with the ones that already have ~400 buildings.while building game takes money but no building is built.after re-logging in, money is given back in cash as if nothing happened.is there a way to build more buildings on these streets?
Looking back,I can't find a reference to limiting chance cards, but did find this in the open letter " ...but we have no plans to further change game rules during the promotion period."
As for cheats having to create many disposable accounts, this is exactly the sort of attack I have suffered several times. They make no attempt to hide the fact they are multiples and are using Bots.
I have been able to limit damage by building and selling like mad for hours, then it takes another day to clean up (assuming there is not another attack), but now I will not be able to do this.
I look forward to the coming havoc with great interest.
the chance card thingy seems the same to me however if you are only getting a small amount of remove hazards from your own propertys, and your getting smacked by twenty people that could be problem
I logged in last night at 10 PM and got my rent for the Day. Now I login at 6:45 this morning and I'm not getting my Rent money for Oct 27th? do I have to wait until 10 PM tonight? I thought you could login every day after 12AM...
i'm fairly certain the roads are being orphaned by the trade function. If you do a trade transaction that includes streets, there is no 24+ hour check on the road to keep it from being traded. upon accepting the trade the road pops into the new users inventory, but is still listed as owned by the previous user. when you collect new rent, the street is orphaned.
Also, to MINGMONG, I don't think that you actually want Saint John St. It's a short worthless street that I am going to use for a street transfer. Definitely not worth 724M. So I will return your money.
i thought that the roads i lost in maintenance was a technical problem. but now that i had some time to check for them, they're all in this guy account!!!!!!!!!!
i'm so tired of this cheating, now they steal roads from accounts also...
@trader10001 I see you have a few streets in the 3M category but only one bid on one. I have a couple of those I don't need also. What kinda values might I see on those ? Or... should I just jump at first bid even if it is minimum ?
There is a new post up where they say .... ------------------------------------------ Yesterday's updates As you likely noticed, we took the game off line for some time yesterday to implement a few updates. As part of our ongoing effort to continuously improve game play, we added an update to correct inconsistent data relating to streets involved in offers. This should correct the problem that some were seeing about streets appearing to be owned by one player when in fact should have been released to another player.
Additionally, we’re doing more to discourage cheating and have implemented new tools to automate tracking these players. As a result, you’ll notice that hundreds of thousands of abandoned properties have been returned to the bank and are now available for purchase.
In the near future, we also plan to implement a few additional improvements, including addressing the long street building issue so that we can lift building limits on the longer streets.
Thanks for your ongoing patience. ---------------------------------------

@Gabe
Well, he got that email... Guess he and Mr. Monopoly are on a first name basis now :D
thanks MOPPERS

all they have to do is add
(street.status <> "free")
how long can that take?
but im so pleased they have given a new window
well done MOPPERS, keep it up and you will make some happy people
communication
Anyone other than COELROM having an auction today? Also, COELROM, what are the details on your auction (ie when does it close etc)
I need to get a couple nice E-W straight streets!
There is no people sending post there. It's a bot! The plane is over hawaii by now, and drinks with umbrellas are flooding the compartment. Our only hope is they crash on Lost island...
i need my fix...i keep hitting refresh hoping it's up!!

Unless the game takes a really really long time to come back, I'm thinking that the auction will start when the game is back and end tomorrow at 6:00PM EST (USA).
@Gabe
sorry your auction is interupted,
i think people will have to see what cash/streets they have left first though
personally im concerned about the 83billion i raised in my auctions and to its whereabouts
@Gabe
you better put the blog time, like that people will understand it better
Ah cool thanks man!
hurry up i need my fix

i live in Brazil, and so far i haven't seen this board game version on local stores. i tried to buy it online but even on Amazon.com they don't deliver it to Brazil.
i do believe that we're thinking about selling the game board before Xmas on local stores so, could you please update your www.hasbro.com/brazil for us to know where can we buy it? thanks
don't forget that we're almost 200 million potential customers...
http://www.apontador.com.br/local/sp/barueri/postos_de_combustivel/88CQZ2WW/hasbro_brasil_industria_comercio_brinquedos_ltda.html
they must be penning the statement of changes now,,,,
when is payday LOL
We're getting somewhere. The site is back up, I just can't log in.
well, if i can't log in soon, i loose a day of rent collection :(
still showing maintenance screen here
Still down here in SW UK
For me the site didn't come back...
I can see the world map with the login screen, but login fails. There's no activity on the map. So no one is able to play.
Or everybody play or no one play! There is no try...(Master Yoda trying to play Monopoly City Streets Online)
Thanks for the update
If this doesnt get sorted today any chance of getting two days rent tomorrow for those that loose their rent today as a result of the maintenance?
@ Scott
Oh, yes, of course! Santa will send Bugs Bunny with your money before the end of the day...
1hour left
poor buggers must be exhausted
10 hours straight!!!!
With this downtime I can actually get something done around the house. Well maybe after I hit the reset button a couple thousand times.
Man if this guy was playing the MCS, he would be going crazy and "capping" all the developers!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KC5kkvuu2pk
Man! Soulcry you sure are getting lots done today cause some of us are up over 22,345 reset pushes. Driveway shoveled or lawn mowed or ...??
Probably there should be one idiot who's written a javascript that presses 3,264,495 per hour.
T MINUS 45 MINUTES
I wonder if this will fix the 380ish limit on really long streets
double rent LOL
you must be joking
remember when you had 5billion in the bank and you woke to find you had 3 million and all your streets were stripped clean
Julien! Where have you been? By now we wonder if the game will ever return someday...
I think they broke it..
I have got a bad feeling about this update or nodate
think you have me confused for another julien ;-)
@wynnt: yeah I had the double whammy. first 400 buildings disappear on my longest street. Next I rebuild it and get no rent. arghghghg
T minus 30 minutes
MOPPERS!!
i know you said inside 3 hours, and thanks for that update, that was very cool of you to do so.
but hypothetically whats the next plan in 15minutes
whilst im willing you on , i think you may need to get your pencil out again and outline your progress/issues/conflicts etc
Wynnt, thanks for the tip but that's a gas station there, not hasbro official site or retailer
After plublish maintenance page, the guys runned a script with standard filters and crossfingered that it works... Two hours playing golf with a glass on the carpet they found a huge txt listing the errors founded(or produced, who knows) by the filter scripts and the database worst than ever... New deadline for the morons(as they call the players) and trying a new script...
@mario
sorry my spanglish is crap,
if i lose my 83billion , you can have my 12 i ordered
@ badboy LOL
I just hope the santa they send isnt corrupt and decides he wants a nice island for himself somewhere
ai..ai...ai....
URGENT!!!!!!!!!!
Server "is now part of another offer" please find "someone else has beaten you to it" ASAP as he has the keys to the building.
Come on Monopoly Men get the site up! Crush the bugs! Fix whats broke! Free Calysto!
yeah that should do it .
It,s 1:30 EST and still nothing?!!?! what give @Mr. Monopoly
MOPPERS!!!!!!
best get penning a new sub-update whilst your ahead with the comms
maybe we'll get the new Sketch-Up buildings today....Would be cool...perhaps the delay means they're fixing the building limit too.
Thanks for the attention today Hasbro/Tribal we do appreciate the posts and hope to see more posts from you than we have lately.
My family are waiting for our Monopoly City board game to arrive, hopefully today.
We'd also be very interested in some stats from you, how many are playing, when the game officially ends....etc....
lol @ getting a new sketch-up building today.
lol @ the nickname MOPPERS
this is like launch day and reset day and reset day the the 2nd all over again
f5

MOPPERS!!
T_MINUS 10MINUTES
Still down? I'm getting my timezones mixed up here, so For the record, it's 6:50pm on Monday in the UK ;-)
@bluismile
you have 5500 players in the world
from them, you have 5500 wifes/girlfriends, 5500 sons, 5500 daughters and 5500 pets.
so you have, 27500 accounts !!!
yeah!!!
the second question you make is easier: this maintenance will officially end this game, you'll see...
who is MOPPERS?!?!?!
Why anybody told me that the pets in my house could have an account? I have a bunch of chinchillas... About a dozen...
MOPPERS!! (aka mr monopoly)
update the update please
Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. Just got too fed up with the slow response, the offers on properties disappearing and not getting your money back, etc...
On to the next new thing.
He's the guy you see on the stage mopping up after the show ends. Hmmm, is the game ending now ?
son says it's UP

Main screen up....still loadng...
Its working! Its working! in the UK anyway

@Wynnt Im in Southend and its working fine . You got 3 Bil in your account
nothing is fixed :-(
The game is up and running, but my street is still not fixed!
It's not on my account, but at least it still shows me as the owner and I can access it.
WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS?
cache cleared... restarted... still robbed...
PHEW !!!!! my auction money is OK!!!!!!
THANKYOU
XXXXXX
you worked your butt of MOPPERS
have a beer now you deserve it
I had to use IE8 i cant use firefox :s
heads up guys , might be some new streets available. I just got a 13m street in USA (somewhere...)
Look what happened to cheaters on global board: ERASED
0 score
0 money
0 streets
clap, clap, clap to Mr. Monopoly, you deserve
I was receiving the blog through my gmail account but no more. Anyone else have this problem?
it didn't work... big jon... calle de el paso... can't build on it, it's been "offered for sale" for two weeks... can't do anything with it, but just adds to tax loss
O CRAP
wish i had one of those street scanners now!
and i has saved the streets the top 5 owned
dammit dammit
Well I still can't access the site :(
@cheeky
close your web page , clear cache etc
it will work then

@ wynnt
mad props to you. 25 minutes in and it's already hard to keep up with rejecting lowest offers. lol I can't imagine how crazy it will be as the closing time approaches.
The auction is well underway. Already 8.9B total in bids on 10 different streets made so far.
OH Sh*t Sh*t Sh*t I'm going to make the global leaderboard at midnight :(
long streets limit still not fixed!
lol@said
@ gabe..yup its full on LOL
Now it is worst.
The streets that were in the "limbo" are mine but they are purple. I think I'll be paying taxes for them but I cannnot build nor sell them.
Whew! One hour into the auction: 12.4B total in bids on 12 streets with 10 participants so far.
Highest active bid: 3.5B for I-40 Service Road
Lowest active bid: 250M for Zep Rd W
oops, make that 14 streets bidded on so far.
@ Aaron,
How will Open City Streets pay for a game server? You should start a "chip in" account and try to raise funds if you havent by now...
I also want to beta test for that game.
I still dont have 2 roads that I lose 2 days ago.
Gabe you have a lot of action but bankson has none. Hey I'll even conider lowball bids. Try me.
30 buildings and NO CARDS. What happen?????
My stret is still trapped in the offered limbo :(
I lost one of my roads, which was personally my favorite. And it is gone to some other person now. Can anyone help?
42 buildings and a 389M penalty :@
Have lucky this time! Lost only one street...
Hmm.... Seems like they freed up a lot of streets owned by expired accounts or something....
80M more.
71 buildings. PENALTIES: 389, 78, 80, 80. TOTAL: 627M and NO EXTRAS, no more CARDS.
This week I'm not going to play more.
!!! WHAT A SUCKERS AT HASBRO !!!!!
Absolutely brainless programmers/dev's
They jailed all local users on the wireless system here
Ordinairy players who are on the topscorelist between position 1100 and 950, not even big players
and the account that is really cheating is still alive
BOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE BOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Amazing.
When it came back, all my offers on streets (which had been sitting there for almost two weeks) were rejected, the streets were sold to someone else, and I got screwed yet again by this game.
Why do I keep trying?
@Iker
Nothing happened. You just got really unlucky. It just happened to you, but there's a good chance that it will happen to your opponents eventually too so it is sort of fair. Just gotta roll with it. Sometimes, you can build hundreds of buildings without a single penalty, and sometimes, you get 75% taken out for days in a row.
Auction Update: 14.1B in offers on 15 streets.
Highest active bid: 3.5B on I-40 Service Rd
Lowest active bid: 90M on Boyers Rd
Hasbro = Brainless programmers
Jailing everything except for the accounts that really are hacking, they have absolutely no clue what they are doing, white hat "cheaters" are put in jail because they SHOW at least what is wrong with the game, but the real hacks that are not shown in the open are still up and running.
There are some real hardcore hacks and hackers going around, you cannot even call them cheaters anymore.

STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID
Please go back to school, take some lessons in basic and start playing with dos2.0 and maybe in a few years if you master pascal, you can go back in the real world of programming.
ANYHOW
========
If hard hacking without any consideration is the only way to play the game, so it be.
My streets are still stuck. Acc name: Theres clones!
CHECK SUBSE7EN PLAYER!!!!
HE HAS 500 STREETS AND EVERY SECOND GAINS MORE AND MORE STREETS , WITHOUT SPENDIND MONEY!!!
HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE
hASBRO DISBAND SUBSE7EN HE IS JUST AN IDIOT THAT HIS MOTHER ABUSES HIM AND FINDS IT FUNNY TO CHEAT ON A FAMILY GAME ... WHAT A LOSER ANYWAY LOL
Before you ban subse7en please accept any outstanding offers on his roads...thanks!
Green house grinding for cards no longer works.
This is probably a good thing.
Or they've possibly limited users to ten chance cards a day...
Last auction update before I leave work to go home:
17.8B total in bids on 16 streets.
Highest active bid: 6B on I-40 Service Rd
Lowest active bid: 90M on Boyers Rd
@HASBRO
good job ;-)
numerous cheater that have used bot system are now in jail
thanks a lot
cheers to all the players
Looks like green house recycling no longer works. would't it be great if this changes on rules were posted on the blog?
If you start playing with a set of rules it would be great to keep them, and if you want to chenge them in the middle of the game you should at least tell.
Not just green house - any kind of recycling for cards. It must be a ten card limit per day.
And the fines, will have daily limit? Or we will continue loose a lot of money after rent collect?
thanks for the prison :s :s :s
ok im back,, now lets find out what has happened
ELEVEN STREETS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE
ok as i continue to clear out streets that are of no use to me, feel free to make offers to any street on the account: SLOWTOFASTEST
some are built, some are clean, some can be moved right away and some have to wait 24 hours and i'll add more in the next day or two as i finish making decisions and cleaning off my family accounts which are going to be mothballed.
I had made offers to buy roads BARFOOO multi-billion, now BARFOOO has nothing and my money is no turning back
WYNN is planning his next MEGA SALE
keep some cash , IM BACK!!!!!!!
OF COURSE IDIOT(s) , the REAL cheaters in this game are the ones that make you loose money !!!!!
For the real hackers running scripts NOTHING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING has changed
They still have bundles of streets for sale , stolen from others or just found from jailed accounts or bought legally .
You can put a username in jail but in 60 seconds he will be back with another name to use .. and the money ??
They have that always in a "clean" account
Don't get any wet dreams that something is fixed, just normal players get jailed, killed and annoyed and will drop the game.

Another unannounced rule change that screws the average player but does nothing to stop the cheats.
I'm out of this game!
ok so what is the point of removing recycling? you now can not protect yourself?
you wont delete them for cheating(after 5 mails) but you help them! :@ no you have destroyed the game, how can anyone compete with this!

They did mention earlier that they would be limiting the number of chance cards per turn. So what is this intended to do? It makes it harder for someone to effectively use hazard/demo bots (rapidly buy/sell green houses to farm chance cards). For someone to continue to do so means that they will need to use a lot of alias accounts to even get to the point where they can significantly sabotage someone. The example above will become blatantly obvious and will be easier to isolate and eliminate. In the short term, people will still get hit, but I expect in the long term that such accounts will be dealt with quicker than before.
Uhm. Getting rid of the cheaters/hackers/whatever-you-want-to-call-them was good.
But, has anyone here considered that many may get thrust into the National and Global leaderboard after rent tonight?
With no cheaters to pad the boards, I'm thinking we might be a tad sore tomorrow from the beating we will take...
I know a guy ahead of me in the local leaderboard has been staying JUST UNDER the limit for making the National Leaderboard. As of tonight, he will make the Global (If scores stay similar to now)....
This could get very intense very quickly....
yup gabe hes got over 40 accounts,but hey they wont do anything about it.. my local board consits of him the minute u move up it u are bombarded. They cant control they cheats really bad coders/admins!!
oh yes, because of fortuitous connection stability, auction update:
18B total in bids on 17 streets.
Highest active bid: 6B on I-40 Service Rd
Lowest active bid: 90M on Zep Rd W
7 streets left w/o bids in the 5M - 8M range.
22 hours 13 minutes left to auction close.
damn it! i may as well play them at their own game! its the only way it seems to work with hasbro. cheat and be honoured
Im not sure im noticing any difference at all in my game , same tax, same cards
did i miss something
it seems to be running pretty sweetly if you ask me
dont cheat!
just be clever , change your stradegy
ok i need someone whos clever at scores to answer this one
lets say you dont need the money anymore ,, and you load yourself up with streets earning about 30billion a day, you get NO monay after tax
but do you get 30billion on your score???
and being clever is to seriously hack the game, because that is the only way to win.
So DO NOT CHEAT !!
Steal streets from others
"buy" (read steal) offered streets from others
use as many bots to kill every other player
(it is proven bots don't go to jail)
All other official ways to play the game will result in a jailed account
wifi wow bots on my comp no thanks
@wynnt
I'm pretty sure only the rent after tax is added to your score.
@wynnt
Unless they have changed something else with this maintenance window, I would agree with Gabe....
Only a positive rent would increase your score, or buying streets worth money.
Thank you for the update and for the hard work guys.
It's a pretty nice game, except for the cheaters with multiple accounts used to buy small roads with hazards buildings on them at high prices and stuff like this.
for example, main account: ELORATOS82
second account: EUGE82.
If you can, check it, that's annoying :)
thanks, bye.
Only is a GAME !! peace!
Is there a way to check other cities leaderboard? Thx guys
Hmm ... well, most cheates does not even try to invent different-looking usernames, I saw HLEMIST, HLEMIST1 and HLEMIST2 all sabotaging my streets...
dammit i'm up to to paying 300 million in taxes per street past 5. sigh. i've gotta ditch some underperformers.

You need to fix the utterly absurd fines. They add absolutly nothing to the game. I was just fined 900 million dollars in 4 chance cards, and I only had ~1.3 billion total.
It wouldn't be so irritating if there were actually good 'positive' cards to balance it out. It is ridiculous that the good cards are a set amount (eg 500,000) but the bad cards take a percentage (eg 20%). WHY? Just to make people playing your game mad? Please tell me what it adds to the game other than pointless irritation.
Speaking of irritating chance cards, every time I get one it resets the view of the map to the default for whatever street I am on. This is the complete opposite of helpful. It drives me insane to drag the screen 10 times to get to place a building, only to get a chance card and have to do it again after every 4th or 5th building.
I hope you guys start fixing the problems that everyone complains about. If you want a good game it has to be about the people playing it, not about what you want(even though you made it)!
Hey what about the Monopoly building contestç?
@Unbiased Liberty
If an aspect of a game is working as intended, then the reasoning, "I don't like it," is not enough to warrant a "fix." A few incidents of extremely bad luck is not broken. For some pretty compelling arguments for why the penalty cards should not be changed see here: http://mcsstrategy.blogspot.com/2009/10/horrible-penalty-chance-cards.html
There's really no better alternative. If you have the positive cards equal the negative cards, then in the long term, you get a net change of zero. Might as well not have the positive or negative cards then. If you have positive cards greatly outweight the negative cards, then 1) you will have more score/cash inflation, and 2) instead of complaining about how unlucky they are, people will complain....well, how unlucky they are not to get as many positive cards as the other guy. So the only other options are not much better than what we have now, and the way things are extends gameplay somewhat by slowing growth. While this is frustrating on a day to day basis, you get a little bit additional playing out of it.
btw, because the game is provided for free, they can and have been doing pretty much whatever they want with the game.
Anyways, auction update before bed:
18.6B in bids on 17 streets. 17 different bidders.
Highest active bid: 6B on I-40 Service Rd
Lowest active bid: 90M on Boyers Rd
7 available streets w/o any bids in the 5M - 8M range.
Gabe, whats the min offer for each street?
@Gabe
Well, it is not only 'bad luck' I get at least one 1-200million one a day. My point with the comparison to positive cards is that relatively, the positive cards are not positive at all. It is pointless to add 500,000 to your account when most people who play the game regularly get millions+ in income every day.
I appreciate the randomness of it, and the idea. (I never said "I don't like it") It is only the frequency and amount that I think is ridiculous. i.e. If you are going to take away 10% of my money every day on average, why not just institute a 10% tax? My point was that it seems NOT to be random since it happens so much.
As for them "doing what they want" - I know they CAN. It doesn't mean they should if they want to make people happy and have a good game. The cost has nothing to do with it.
u can control ur fines by understand how fines work here

Don't seem to be many good streets available.
Either the scans have already picked them up or they released the streets of people who never got far rather than cheaters'.
i've noticed the changes taking place with my "stuck" streets. but for some reason, there's still one that i can't reclaim/ditch. (while it was "stuck" i deleted ALL the buildings on it hoping *that* would "release" it for me. that street is still frozen.)
i really must be missing something,
its running sweetly?
I dont understand what the problem is?
can we have one liners of essential problems concerning its performance
.............................................
1) "invisible streets still in account"
2) "as part of another offer still visible"
etc etc
maybe this will help MOPPERS!
btw the way, hard day at the office yesterday MOPS, hope you grabbed a beer afterwards you deserved it
wynnt
I still have 2 limbo streets that are "part of an offer" (and have been so for over a month)
I am missing ALL my streets...they ALL show other owners now....
Mrmonopolyman
@wynnt
do you have some streets available?
i need at least one between 8-15 mil.
i lost 4 roads yesterday and i want to buy from you, if you have
@super mario bros
yeah i lost a couple as well .O well
have a look at the sale
or email me i found one from the bank for sale, that i can't afford, cash flow problems :_)
sub prime mortgages and all that
still can't build on specific streets especially with the ones that already have ~400 buildings.while building game takes money but no building is built.after re-logging in, money is given back in cash as if nothing happened.is there a way to build more buildings on these streets?
@Gabe
Looking back,I can't find a reference to limiting chance cards, but did find this in the open letter
" ...but we have no plans to further change game rules during the promotion period."
As for cheats having to create many disposable accounts, this is exactly the sort of attack I have suffered several times. They make no attempt to hide the fact they are multiples and are using Bots.
I have been able to limit damage by building and selling like mad for hours, then it takes another day to clean up (assuming there is not another attack), but now I will not be able to do this.
I look forward to the coming havoc with great interest.
the chance card thingy seems the same to me
however
if you are only getting a small amount of remove hazards from your own propertys, and your getting smacked by twenty people that could be problem

nNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
TAXMAN TAKES 21billion NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
and another 3 billion
NNOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Dude! Bank it before you spend it!!
Jesus
We must made a clan devoted to KILL Mr Taxman!! We will bury him under his damned red cards!! Freedom from taxes now!!!
Everybody sucks! PIULA rulez!!!
i'm still having issues with roads disappearing
i'm fairly certain the roads are being orphaned by the trade function. If you do a trade transaction that includes streets, there is no 24+ hour check on the road to keep it from being traded. upon accepting the trade the road pops into the new users inventory, but is still listed as owned by the previous user. when you collect new rent, the street is orphaned.
@Wynnt
why don't you shut up? You're a very bad player and you still try to play!
GET OUT!
@piula
you have a nice day to :_)
@piula!
Vai ver se estou na esquina...

eu fiz alguém chateado? Não sabe como? ou por qualquer forma a minha mãe é obrigado multa e sim eu falo português
Does anyone know how to build houses REAL close to eachother?
On some streets I see towers right next to eachother with no spaces in between.
Ok thx = :-)
@wynnt
have you checked Monopolib leaderboard?
and the winner is MR MONOPOLY!!!!!
now i know why he closed those accounts, he wants to be N 1...
MOPPERS, you're the guy!!!!!!!!!!
yeah
no i have not yet
im not sure if its him
when i had my auction a mr monopoly was bidding on streets, but its was at nearly base costs
i dont know
Wow! So after a slow down in bids before I went to sleep, I wake up to find about 20 new offers to sort through. So auction update:
22.3B in total bids on 22 streets. 56 offers in total so far.
Highest active bid: 6B on I-40 Service Rd
Lowest active bid: Tie at 150M for Boyers Rd and Twp Road 8
8 hours 3 minutes til auction close.
Good Luck!
Also, to MINGMONG, I don't think that you actually want Saint John St. It's a short worthless street that I am going to use for a street transfer. Definitely not worth 724M. So I will return your money.
well done gabe!
I am getting ready for my next biggy as well, its going to be MAMMOUTH!!!!!!!
lol thanks wynnt. this is honestly the most fun in the game i've had so far. also, that check is definitely in the mail somewhere ;)
guys, do you know who's HUNTERLEE?
i thought that the roads i lost in maintenance was a technical problem. but now that i had some time to check for them, they're all in this guy account!!!!!!!!!!
i'm so tired of this cheating, now they steal roads from accounts also...
@trader10001
I see you have a few streets in the 3M category but only one bid on one. I have a couple of those I don't need also. What kinda values might I see on those ? Or... should I just jump at first bid even if it is minimum ?
Is there a 24 wait for the 11M street ?
There is a new post up where they say ....
------------------------------------------
Yesterday's updates
As you likely noticed, we took the game off line for some time yesterday to implement a few updates. As part of our ongoing effort to continuously improve game play, we added an update to correct inconsistent data relating to streets involved in offers. This should correct the problem that some were seeing about streets appearing to be owned by one player when in fact should have been released to another player.
Additionally, we’re doing more to discourage cheating and have implemented new tools to automate tracking these players. As a result, you’ll notice that hundreds of thousands of abandoned properties have been returned to the bank and are now available for purchase.
In the near future, we also plan to implement a few additional improvements, including addressing the long street building issue so that we can lift building limits on the longer streets.
Thanks for your ongoing patience.
