Features of Bootleggers vTarquiNv
Since the very first day of Bootleggers back in 2003, countless new features have been added to Bootleggers to help improve the quality of this game. The Buzz caught up with a number of players to take a look at their view on some features of Bootleggers.

From recent crime updates to the addition of Organized Crimes just after the start of Bootleggers, we have seen hundreds of updates which have shaped the outcome of Bootleggers. The latest update to a feature was the much speculated, even though awaited update of the crimes page. With the addition of major crimes, players have the chance to steal much more realistic amounts of money, from real players.

The Buzz had a chat with D0nCorleone, for his view on the new crimes revamp. His ideas about the new crimes update were very positive, he said, “I like it, it adds to the game. The old style of making $78 here and $97 there was going nowhere.” He went on to mention, “Players should have the option to steal from each other. It teaches people about consequences.”

The Buzz also caught up with California State Don, Claartje, looking for her opinions about Organized Crimes. She came back with, “The only thing that I hate about the Organized Crime system is that everyone has to be online to complete it. It can get very annoying sometimes, especially since Bootleggers sometimes logs you out by itself.” She continued to mention an idea sparked by a Moderator, “There was an idea by a member of the Elite Guard that I liked. You had to do training to become a better Weapons Expert and Explosives Expert and so on. It looked like a nice idea at the time!”

Finally, looking for views on the Stock Market and auto-burglaries, the Buzz turned to Elite Guard Moderator, Riserva. In a brief interview he told us, “I don't really see any cons in either one of the features”. He also said, “They both give you an introduction as to how the game is played as well as offer you the opportunity to earn quite a decent amount of money by doing them”.
The Buzz would like to thank all interviewees for their time!

Happy Gaming!
