Mafia Multiplayer
No, you're not on another website. You really are on www.mafia-mp.com! Before you state out the obvious in your head... no, we are not dead! Ha, got you there.
I will not go into detail as to why I felt like opening this page, but it's simply because I felt like it was best for... now. Mafia Multiplayer, is like I said, NOT dead, and we are NOT going to throw the source code to the recycle bin. As a matter of fact, I have recently renewed the domain license for another year, and I will continue to do so until the mod sees the day, because after that, I will let chinese labour take care of this as I'll be too busy signing deals with gaming companies for rights on Mafia Multiplayer.
Now, before you start bombing our e-mail server with questions and hate mail, I will instead answer those questions right here, right now.
Q: What is going to happen now?!
A: I'm no clairvoyant, but I'd say that I'm going to get up from my chair, and that I'm probably going to go for a drink in the kitchen. Oh wait... you're talking about Mafia Multiplayer? Only reddbull (which is the leader of this project) can answer this question. He is the one that drives the car; we are his passengers. (Me (MadK), ASM, Yoann, AJH and stym)
But he promised us a bumpy ride, so let's hope that he stays true to his word! ;)
Q: What about making the project open source?
A: This has been already discussed in the team forums as a possibility, and still is a potential exit for this project.
Q: Why didn't you do this before?
A: Why did I do it now?
Q: I am a developer, and I would like to know if it is possible to takeover this project?
A: No, it's not possible to gain exclusive access to Mafia Multiplayer source files at this moment. However, you may still contact us at business [ at ] mafia-mp . com; if you feel like you could definitely help out on this mod. Use "[MMP] Developer Application" as a subject title.
Q: In which language(s) is the mod developed?
A: C++ / C# / ASM / Lua / Python... but we all do that in English!
Q: Why did you do this to me?! WHY?!
A: I know lots of bridges... I could help you out with this. I hear it's pretty harmless and it's instant.
Q: What about you (MadK), what are you going to do?
A: I will sing "It's time to say goodbye" by Andrea Bocelli.
Q: I don't care about you, I mean, what about the others?
A: I'll make them sing "It's time to say goodbye" by Andrea Bocelli.
Q: Why do you think you're so funny???
A: Because I am! And besides, if I wasn't so funny, you wouldn't read until this line! :)
Q: Actually, you're so cool, I want to talk with you. How can I achieve this?!
A: Great! The world still has sane people left. A while ago I created a group for Mafia Multiplayer on Xfire, which is still alive and which you can still join, so if you wish to talk to me or reddbull (he is sometimes on Xfire), you can do it right here! Be prepared for a comedy show though.
Q: Who are Mafia Multiplayer team members?
A: We are composed of 8 members, including testers.
For list lovers, here goes the list of our team members at this time:
- reddbull (Project Leader)
- AJH (Developer (Memory + Core))
- ASM (Developer (Memory))
- Yoann (Developer (Memory + Core))
- stym (Developer (Core))
- MadK (Webmaster)
- Krej (QA Tester)
- Makk (QA Tester)
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the guys over @ www.InterServed.com who have sponsored us since the beginning of the mod, and still are sponsoring our SVN server (geeky words for source server). If you are looking for a great, stable and fast host, then look no more! On top of that, if you mention our project name (Mafia Multiplayer), you can get to choose custom plans, made just for you! Isn't that beautiful?
(Cue the song "You're beautiful" by James Blunt here.)
I almost feel bad making this page come to an end, I had so much fun picturing you with a priceless face reading all those questions and most importantly, answers... but I guess everything has to come to an end!
If you still did not get it, Mafia Multiplayer is NOT DEAD! It is simply put on standby. Reddbull decided to not refuel the car tank. He said that it's better that we camp for the night.
Until then, I wish you guys good night, hoping that no bear is going to attack me or the other guys during our sleep, because of course I love them, but I mean... you know. It's nothing personal.

PS: You might be feeling nostalgic at this moment, so here's our two videos from Mafia Multiplayer! :)
PSS: I would like to give a shoutout to our most devoted fans! Mr.WWW, Hova, Rainman, adidragan94, BeastMaster, Blurredman, Senor_Koka, 6godfather9... fans that have been amongst us for a long, long time! Of course, those are only active members of our forums, but I bet that some of you were just as "hardcore" as these guys, and I thank you for it. And you will definitely be thanked for it later!
