We are very happy to announce the latest mig33 game called MigWars.

First there was kicking – a one against all freedom of expression to “kick” a user, an enemy, maybe even a friend out of a chat room. Then came Russian Roulette, a risky game of chance of kill or be killed – Bang! Now mig33 introduces MigWars, a social game that requires toughness, luck and good friends.

The goal of MigWars is to become the most feared and respected Mafia Boss. To do this you must work your way up through the ranks by completing missions, fighting, defending and growing your gang. Always wanted to be the Big Boss. Now is your chance. Feeling threatened by a rival gang member, then order a hit on that person – it will cost you, but you won’t be threatened as you try and complete missions.

MigWars is a social game in nature, therefore to progress and grow your gang you will need to get help from friends and new mig users.

mig33 is initially releasing the game to all users that are migLevel 25 or above – but stay tuned as we open this game up everyone very soon. For those of you migLevel 25 or above, go to MigWorld and click on the MigWars link to start playing.

We hope you enjoy and keep playing, mig33 will continue to evolve and change this game often.

Tired of looking like yourself? mig33 team is very excited to launch the new Avatar system where you will be able to create your own Avatar, personalize it with facial features, clothes, accessories and more! View your Avatar in your profile window and check out friends Avatars as well. They have built the mig33 Avatar system to live within the mig world and soon you’ll be able to take your Avatar with you into Chat Rooms, Games and more – so stay tuned!

For now have some fun personalizing your Avatar and mig33 will continue to add more items, including FREE ones. Make sure you create an Avatar you like – your friends may soon be able to rate your Avatar.

We are excited to share news of mig33’s new storefront launching on mobile and web. Our hope with the new store is to make it easier for you to find your favorite emoticons, experience improved browsing for virtual gifts and even shop for new items for your Avatar. We have also made it easier to access information about key features of mig33 like Calling a Friend, Buzz’ing, Lookouts and of course SMS’ing a Friend.

If you are like me and the rest of the mig team you probably want to know what the most popular virtual gifts are, or what’s new emoticons mig33 just released,  so mig33 has introduced a Most Popular and What’s New section.

We hop you like the new experience and mig33 team will continue to improve and ensure that there are many items to choose from, including FREE items.
