I started to join the game, drugwars here on steemit 8 days ago. I had read a few hyped posts about it and decided to try. It was not easy deciding because I had played a similar game back in 2009 I think on Facebook and it is called Mafia Wars. I got hooked with Mafia Wars back then. First reason, it made me feel rich looking at thousands and millions of money in game too bad back then these money could never be converted to fiat unlike today one by one we see this happening. Take a look at drugwars, players earn in steem which you can convert to fiat if you wish. The second reason why I got hooked with Mafia Wars is the dynamics of the game, I love the idea of me and my friends ganging up on some random players and raging wars with them taking a hefty sum of money if we win. Not to mention the loot drops, the fancy graphics of each quest and the leveling up of our defense which make us invincible.
Drugwars looks similar so I joined not for the same reasons as mentioned above but for the monetary rewards. This I think will be the first game after 10 years that will make it possible for me to withdraw or convert my crypto money into fiat. Isn't that wonderful? Yeah I know this is not the first game to allow the players to do just that but I am glad we now have it here on Steemit. That is what made me excited but I realized that I need to use Steem should I want to upgrade my resources. Otherwise, I will be earning Steem dusts with negligible value as the days go by. In my case I make 0.006 on day one then that diminishes or stays the same each day. The price for upgrading your resources gets tremendously higher each level which is too impossible to do if you are just passively playing the game.
It is still early and the game is still being polished. Right now the battles or wars are disabled. So, while you guys still have time you should work on increasing your storage capacity for the three resources of the game to prevent other players from stealing them. Focus on the storage capacity first because when the battle begins who knows bots will steal them you never know. During the mafia wars players know who attacked and stole their money if that will also be true for drugwars, I am afraid other players may take it personal and abuse their power. They can downvote your Steemit posts to get back at you for stealing their resources and that sounds ugly already. I wonder what the developers will do to prevent such possibility.
