DrugWars Battles Re-Started at Midnight Server Time on a New Interface
Battles were re-enabled and new units were enabled as well for DrugWars at midnight server time, on a brand new interface at drugwars.io.
The new interface looks cleaner than the staging one, but for now it lacks some of the useful information the other one has. That was already known by the devs when they decided to go ahead to make it public, because in the short presentation post, it was mentioned they left the previous version running for this exact reason, while all the information is added to the new interface as well.
The new version started without the "Find Targets" tab activated, probably to avoid an overload of the server at the re-enabling of battles. That didn't stop some issues to arise with the battles or with the new interface during the first hours.
A test server would be really useful on major releases, to see how the game will work in almost released conditions and to gauge the feedback from actual users (in this case game players). But such a setup costs extra and slows down release times. The advantage is that most bugs and pitfalls are caught in that phase, before everyone is involved in the release phase and with real resources (and money).
All in all, we are in the stone age of developing games on the blockchain. Lessons are learned with each achievement or setback hopefully. And with every step forward, we become more bold, try things that haven't been achieved before. For some we hit limitations, on others we discover new possibilities. It's the only way to make progress.
Just enjoy the games, if you like them, or the progress they bring, if you are a Steem supporter in general!

Looks like I'm the only one who's not playing neither Drugwars nor Steemmomsters. Good luck to you :)
That might be the smarter choice. Games are addictive. :)

I agree, I've seen so many people disappear from steemit, they had no time for blogging because of these games. These game developers know what they are doing :)
