"MONOPOLY City Streets has officially ended! Thank you to everyone - all 5 million of you from across the world - who played during the past three months. It has been absolutely amazing.
We're currently collecting all the data from the game so that we can share with you a few results. Please check back in a few days." Hasbro Statement
Well here we are at the end, Sometime today it all comes to a close, the streets will be swept, the leaderboards cleared. It was an interesting experience, and we've all met people along the way.
Our precious hard won streets reside empty and alone in data land. For all the various problems we've found this game fun, captivating, and sometimes exciting. Most gamers would say it was lame, perhaps it was, but it allowed you to set your own pace,when building, selling, and trading. We will likely see this game again soon, hopefully in a more enhanced form, with heartier street search, tighter rules and less taxes and penalties. Thank you all for visiting our blog, we hope you had fun visiting, playing games and discussing game play. Good luck to all hope you've reached your goals.
Thank YOU, Rhodes! Your Blog is a island of common sense and tranquility into the mess of the continuos fight betwenn the cheaters that crowded the official blog, overwhelming the innocent bystanders. Hope see you soon in a new and improved version of the game.
ReplyDeleteGreat time playing. Wife disagrees.
ReplyDeleteIf no game in future, then wife happy.
Otherwise I may start happy but may switch due to her influence.
See my suggestions for 'improved' game in earlier Dec blog. Mostly improvements in increasing demand for under 1Mil streets.
And oh yes, fix the 7day rule.
Buyerandseller, Thanks for the comment we appreciate knowing that you have enjoyed coming here.
ReplyDeleteBankson, The game will likley return in January, hopefully with some needed repairs.
Thanks to all of you who've come to this blog, we've had fun sharing and discussing this crazy game. Hope to see you again if/when it resumes.
Thanks again Rhode for the awesome blog, was a pleasure chatting and playing with you all!! :)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to a new and improved game next year some time, hope to see you all here then(except "Donald").
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone here!!!

ReplyDeleteyou have lost it - you are completely irrational on the chat to day - I hope you get your meds adjusted and get back to normal - whatever normal is for you. And stop using "take care" on the chat - that's my line
Simon,
ReplyDeleteBack at you, it was a great time. Have an excellent holiday season. Probably see you in the new year.
wynn - hahahaha - after all your cheating and lying you didn't make top 20 - I DID
ReplyDeleteHave a nice life.

@Donlad
ReplyDeleteYou should try out for that game show "Biggest Loser". You'd do AWESOME! They don't score on intelligence!
Donlad, I may just have to donate some of my wealth to knock you off the top 20 would be just desserts. The game is still playing.
ReplyDeleteWynn, congrats on your win.
Rick, lmao, good one
Serial needs just about 30bil to knock you out Bangalore lets see what we can do.
Bangalore you moved your money, not gonna stay at top 20 like that.
ReplyDeleteFor those who want to 'browse' the web site leaderboard.......
ReplyDeleteAfter some work I found the No. 1 looooser - trifectadotcom at position 218,579th place with a whopping -603 Billion ! score and 0 money
But that is not where a newbie starts at.....
dukeking035 is the top of thousands of 0 scores (206,xxx)
united states is near lower part of 0 scores (213,???)
At bottom of 3M score: 195'039 nyrr
At top of 3M score: 190'426 alban123 with a 3001000 score.
So a new player should show up at about 190,039 or there abouts. I started an attack account 2 weeks ago and after 2 days was done attacking. Sooo built roads etc. moved it up to 89,000 in just 2 weeks. I never attacked before but this one guy just would not quit.
Use these to hop around and not need to click 890 times to get to another page.
Bankson,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info. Hope you ended up in good position.
Well folks its all over, I took their little survey on the web page, looks like they are pondering a paid site, In the survey they ask about payment Ranging from 2.95 a month to 15.95 a month. We ask that you take this survey and pick the smallest amount with a slightly interested rating, If enough do it we may get a decent price for this because theres no way we'd pay 15 bucks a month for this. (per accont name not even 2.95)
Thanks again for visiting, we'll have a follow up post in the next day or so.
With latest incomes at end of 9th, I totaled up virtual combined to 1.21 trillion in score. 1.26 trillion in cash and assets summed.
ReplyDeleteThat puts me at 32.5 or 35.5. Pretty satisfying.
My best account was a feeder to make one get rich fast. The rich one didn't do so well. Feeder one came in at 148 B$ approx 2888. I think that is pretty good considering new accounts started at 190,000 roughly at end.
I'm a bit confused. are the top 5 places all Wynn T?
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing Donlad is canadian patriot from a few months ago?
@ Kebabman - Wynn T didn't win anything - he is the biggest CHEATING LIAR. He said he "flies solo" but I heard he just likes playing with himself. Wynn had to combine with other multi-accounts - hahaha.
ReplyDeleteThen he stabs his "friends" at MarketPoly world in the back on the main blog.
What a pathetic, lonely little man. We should send our condolences.
Yes, Donlad is a Canadian Patriot - Wynn is just a pommy Brit, alone in this place, talking to his multi-personalities. SO SAD :-(
Donlad,
ReplyDeleteYour so full of yourself, you can't see anything through your veil of anger and resentment. We feel sorry for you that you can't get past some minor and insignificant occurance, to make you so vengeful and abusive.
This will be your last post on our blog and we ask that you stay away with your vile and obnoxious sentiments. perhaps you'll grow up someday and act like an adult, instead of the temper- tantrum child you are.
Now go away you vile excuse for a human. We thank god your not a product of our country, as we'd be embarrased to have any association with people like you. Take your petty hate-mongering elsewhere we're finished listening to you.
Kebabman,
ReplyDeleteThe final tally put Wynn in first place with the others mentioned above. The rest of the field was MP World which was a conglomerate of the users at MarketPoly. Mcs Fr, a conglomerate of the French users, CCCP a conglomerate of the russian users, and so on. Why would you listen to Donlad the fool in any of his rantings.
He still thinks this blog is run by Wynn, which is absurd. Im a graphic artist in Chicago and the pictures you see on this blog are a product of many years of hard work, I resent the fact that Canadian dickwad dismisses my long labor and intense pride I feel for my work. Wynn is his own man and I'll be happy to be friends with him, unlike the extreme dislike I hold for multi personality donlad/Canadian parrot/Digidoom/Mcfool, and any of the other names we've seen. And he accuses others of having personality disorders.
wynn - GOTCHA!
ReplyDeleteMarketpoly site is gone!
ReplyDeleteMarketpoly site is back!
ReplyDeleteSo Wynn T Won, YAY!!!!!
ReplyDeleteChalk one up for the Good Guys :)
Excellent work on the blog, Rhodes!
Thanks for the fun everyone (Except Donlad and his multiple personalities) !!!!!!!
People are saying "january the 16th "!!!!

ReplyDelete*WHAT* People, Buyerandseller, and Jan 16th for *WHAT* ?
ReplyDeleteThe people who continues to show up at marketpoly's chat room(me included) and was said that west have some "inside information" about a restart of MCS in jan 16th. Is it true? Is just gossip?
ReplyDeletesounds a bit like the original end date of the game to me?
ReplyDeleteYour opinion is that just gossip, not gonna happen, go home and have a life? Probably is really it. But is very funny to see the people discussing possibilities.
ReplyDeleteIf you take the survey, there are a couple questions regarding how interested you would be in in a future pay-to-play version as well as what you would be willing to pay. So they're at least gauging interest for a future game.
ReplyDeleteIf they did continue with this game, I would expect it to take way more than a month to develop a true working version of the game especially if it became pay-to-play. There would need to be a much greater investment in player support and company-to-player communication. There would need to be a significant investment in monitoring for abusive and exploitive activities with quicker response. There would need to be more content added.
Honestly, these are all things we expected when the game was free. The expectation multiplies greatly once we have to fork over some cash.
I will say this though: making the game pay-to-play would help control some of the exploiters and multi-accounters because there would be a significant negative consequence if caught (monetary loss).
@Gabe
ReplyDeleteIf they are going to accept money, then multi-accounting would be tough. They would then have a CC or other payment means to track players by, and it's a simple task to see who owns what accounts. For example, I pay for 2 accounts in the City of series, because it makes it easier to xfer money and stuff in it to other avatars (Toons).
Just as an example, Donlad would have a tough time paying for 200 accounts, even at the lowest rate. And, you can only get so many Credit Cards :) Assuming of course, that he's not an adolescent, and even HAS a CC.
Also, the method of cheating whereby one would create a lot of accounts, then trade off the money to one big account, would no longer be feasible, as you would still have to pay for the feeder accounts.
All in all, if they actually step up to the plate, this could be big. Conversely, If they drop the ball like on the free one, it won't last long at all, as a pay-to-play model.
*Crosses Fingers*
Gabe, all that you say plus cheap prices!! On the survey I marked $2,99 the value I accept to pay.
