Who would have thought drugs are addictive, right? Before you call the Narcotics Police Department, let me say we're talking about an online game, no one I know uses Steem blockchain for gangster-like activities. :P

I've heard about DrugWars almost 48 hours ago, had the first contact with it the same evening, but really didn't start playing until yesterday.

This is far from a stable version, we gained early access to the game and this way we can play, grow our 'drug' empire, test and report bugs at the same time, and support development through purchases (instant building).

The DrugWars has got so much attention from people who enjoy playing online games (or just to earn Steem!) since it was opened to public, that we practically broke the server. On many occasions logging in didn't work and the game interface didn't keep up with the entries on the blockchain.

All these will be fixed, because I suppose the developer, @hightouch only now sees the game in true gaming conditions, which cannot be simulated by a few individuals in a closed testing environment.

Let's remember the game is 48 hours, maybe 36 hours since it became open to the public!

Let's also remember SteemMonsters had plenty of bugs in the early days, which were fixed one by one.

Finally, I managed to avoid a mistake I did with SteemMonsters and which is still costing me there: not joining early.

While there are so many things to fix, this is the time to join DrugWars, if you want to have better chances in the game.

Still unclear if referral links work right now, but if you want to join, I'd appreciate if you'll join using my link below. Thank you!
