iMobsters was a massive multiplayer online game that was launched in 2009 by a gaming studio called Storm8. iMobsters was one of their nine games.
The game was only available in English and it had the classic mafia story built into it. You were a character working for the New York mafia and you had to work your way up in the mob.
Why did iMobsters close?
Storm8 retired iMobsters in 2015. Historical store records also show that its Android app was removed from Google Play that October. A store-removal date is not necessarily the day a game’s servers stopped, so we do not treat it as an exact shutdown timestamp.
The original game is no longer a current Storm8 release. We have not verified a publisher explanation that establishes a specific cause for its closure.

Can you still play or download iMobsters?
The original Storm8 game has retired. Finding an old installation file does not restore the online service it depended on. A similarly named game or fan project should be checked separately; it is not automatically the original iMobsters.
Mob Wars: LCN is a separate game, so you start a new account rather than recovering your old iMobsters character.

A closer look for returning iMobsters players
Look at what you will actually do in LCN: complete Jobs, review the equipment you collect and work towards a stronger mob. These are LCN screens, with their own rules and progression.
Use Energy to complete Jobs for cash and experience. The screen lists what a Job requires and what you can earn before you choose it.
Review your weapons, armour and vehicles in the equipment list. The Personal Loadout shows what your own mobster has equipped.
Buy properties to develop regular income as your character grows. If playing with a group was part of the appeal, a Syndicate gives you people to learn with and compete alongside.
