news-preparing-new-versionToday’s maintenance shutdown successfully finished. As always, please report if you notice something weird going on around you in Underworld.

In fact, it was a little bit more than a usual upkeep. First, we have fixed a couple of annoying glitches in the local tile economy. Labs and addicts that would suddenly go asleep or change their prices and commodities earlier than expected according to the cartel guy — both should be fixed now. Let us know if you feel like it doesn’t!

Another major change: those of you who have reached an ultimate rank #21 will notice that a price of the next upgrade is now visible. Yep, that’s because we have already added 5 new ranks! Can’t upgrade there right now, but please be patient — new version of the game is bringing real-world delivery jobs and it’s coming!

As a side effect of adding the new levels, the rank hierarchy has changed. For example, you were a Kingpin and now you’re Wholesaler again, what the heck? Well, this is the trafficking world in evolution: new powerful figures appear every now and then. Fight your way to the top or disappear.

Got questions? Welcome to the message board or twitter. Stay tuned!

  • Total bs changing our ranks, your ghetto!

  • Agree with BS, not liking the new ranks, I was a godfather, suddenly I’m a ‘baller’ Ugh!

  • Cheers for the update guys, glad you’ve opened the ranks up further to keep the gameplay open-ended a little more. I agree with BS and Jane that it must be frustrating being effectively ‘demoted’ but it might give us mid-levels a chance to catch up some! ;D Quality game-really enjoy it and getting stuck in. Any chance of being able to increase our Underworld points other than buying ourselves? Maybe reaching certain levels we can purchase points using in-game money? Either way keep up the great work! Cheers, Matt ;)

  • I’m level 20 and look to see my next step and it says 100mil. I thought it was 50? I’m with the other guys the ranks are stupid.

  • The game was great and only getting better thankx for the new levels

  • So will the cost for lvl 21 upgrade goto $50mil instead of $100mil? Since it’s supposed to be $50mil according to your own rules!! Double the last upgrade cost…

  • I’m at level 20 with more than enough cash to upgrade.

    I was holding off on the upgrade in order to wait for whatever was coming next.

    Instead of continuing with the game, I lost interest, and haven’t touched it for about two months.

    Hopefully this is the upgrade I’ve been waiting for. I’ll try it out and give it a chance.

    If you don’t see me in the game, it’s because I decided to delete it and move on.

    I’m giving in an honest chance first though. We’ll see how that goes.

  • This is BS , u lazy Fu#ks. U should have created 5 new ranks with different names. U MF took a shortcut, very dissapointed.

  • This is all bull I just spend $ 1000000000 to be come boss and now I’m a hightroller WTF is next there’s going to be flyin gummy bears anyway how about coming up whit five new ranks and stop taking us for suckers. I guess we all not realy playin the game. The game is playin us for lollipops.. Step the game up UW!!!!

  • To the developers great job anticipating the new game and features thankx alot

  • Cool, can’t wait to see what else you guys have coming.

  • @ 17.5 STFU and keep kissing underworlds @s$. Now uw how about givein us the rank name Boss back and making new names whit that real money you all getin off the points ppl buy. If you going to do something do it right!!!$$$. BiG Boss .$$$

  • Mr.17.5 stfu noob! I got robbed on the money I have to spend to upgrade. Ur level ant shit! It gets hard when u have to pay 100mil. U aren’t going to catch up to anyone that is posting here unless u are going to puss up and buy sh1t

  • Have to agree with all of the complainers here. The status is a huge part of why this game is addictingly fun. But this is a game without any replay value; I mean who would want to start over and invest the amount of time they had before?! (Please don’t be dumb and comment about starting over. I know this isn’t exactly the same.) We’ll just have to wait and see if the upgrade offsets the let down.

  • Hey, everybody

    About that rank change. The reason we changed name hierarchy is obvious. We had to add 5 more ranks but still leave the whole picture coherent. For example, you can’t add few more ranks to the top of the ladder and end up with ‘Boss’ or ‘Godfather’ being somewhere in the middle of the hierarchy: they are the most powerful ranks existing.

    So we did it the way you see now. The rank number is important, because it is what the Cream of the Crop is based on. But the name of it is just a label.

  • Exactly. How the fuck you going to be higher than godfather or the boss? It’s not possible in real life why would it be here. Grow the fuck up gentlemen

    and by the way, trying to talk in “gangster” on ther Internet only makes you look like a poser and uneducated.

  • This game sucks tired of f**ing cops and the fact that you cantlevel up unless you pay triple the price where the f** are you suppose to get that kind of money when there is no way. To make steady income and bs for the fact that high end stuff is always on risky and what about all the changes that are suppose to happen ?? Another lie just to get you to stay well I’m not I get games to enjoy them not to be totally frustrtrated take this game and shove it

  • I’m at the point of putting it down to! I have played this game since the jailbreak version. I don’t like how much I have to pay for my next upgrade. It’s already went from 50mil to 100mil with the change u guys did. It takes way to much time to upgrade. I’ve sent to much time just trying to upgrade. Now I have 50 mil still for this upgrade…..

  • What’s going on? The rank names have changed back but I’ve seen no announcements. Does anyone even read here? Hello? O o o o? echo co o o

  • Jane, that’s a maintenance glitch! Pretend you never saw that ;)
