There's been a few issues as of late in regards to Dead End - The problem over the increasingly gang centrism and if violence has become way too much of an occurence in the sim to people being either banned or suspended for voicing opinions. Upsets in sim over OOC and IC issues that have wiped out several RP plots and I can't help but notice that here recently we've seen a long string of death after death after death. Are we experiencing an Exodus of some form?

I've had my fair share of drama some of it caused me to decide on a week hiatus because it was irritating and over some of the most retarded crap that could've been settled simply by communicating beforehand. Weeks ago alot of us became upset because of the increasing game violence and issues surrounding that and how it just didn't feel like a BDSM [Fed up with it to a point actually that when it happened at the 8's 5-6 of us just voided the RP went OOC and chilled out on the roof of Marcello's]

We've had people threaten to leave and a wave of drama in some form flare up against several different people that killed off stories or atleast made RPing very difficult and typically it was something that would've been avoidable to begin with if people just communicated. Now, it's been nothing but a string of deaths - which I can't help but feel a bit upset about because I enjoy DE - I come here to escape, however, there's been so many problems as of late that I've debated leaving myself - I haven't of course because I'd like to think things will revert and get back to being a BDSM sim - but losing people that I considered at least good friends or RP potentials is a bit upsetting. What about the rest of you? Are we seeing an Exodus? What issues have you run into? Suggestions on how to fix or try to fix these?
