I never go into the game anymore, I'm always afraid to do so. And indeed I agree, a lot of people /have/ been leaving lately. Myself being one of those many, I still only come to the community but beyond that I never do anything else.

It's sad to see it falling apart but anymore, that's all that seems to happen.

It's a bit of a shame that you feel that way, to think that the forest is actually changing in a way that would keep players out is saddening.
This place is much more kindly than most communities, it would be heartbreaking to see it crumble down.
I am very glad that you shared your thoughts though, and wish you best for the problems you are having <3

Sorry , I understand you wrong
I have poor english skills , I agree completely that this community is awesome . They helped me a lot !
I just ment that the game is also a beautiful place to be ( for myself )
I enjoy beeing here and I apologize for getting you wrong

I'm like you, I started playing after a long hiatus (I started when Fawns first came out back in the day before I grew bored and there was no community back then) but anymore, my pain comes from the 3 drama bombs I had been involved in. These I will leave unsaid but with them, my mental capacity has decreased greatly for this community.

All I see anymore is the Drama, what people will bring up and then the arguments that spew from it. The drama in itself is what has torn many players to /leave/ the community I believe. I used to love the community, back then you could make so many friends it was fun. But now, like you said, there seem to be 'groups' forming up in which no one seems to be allowed into.

It's saddening and just disgusting. Sometimes it is best for us to move on, but a lot of us (Like myself) cannot just drag ourselves away from this place.

Drama has been getting to many of the players, I simply wish we could keep it to the roleplay, because watching people who are usually very nice tear each other up can be extremely disheartening.
I left right after the end of the Baal plot, which is one I found really rather nice, because it was a very open plot with a variety of characters who were virtually unknown before then. So, I left about mid-summer, and came back months later with my love here rekindled. I was completely cut off from the forest the months I was gone so I do not know exactly what happened, but if there was one thing I remember before I left, was a good few players tearing each other up over the stop of the plot. I'm not going to go deeper because it's really not a wound to rub salt in for some of the players here.
But after that, it did indeed seem much more closed in, most people don't greet strangers anymore, they just run by them. Perhaps groups started forming to avoid confusion or frustration like older plots did, or simply just caused by the human nature to make 'inner circles'.
Sometimes I feel afraid that I'm going to do the same and just 'up and leave' which is something I really don't want to do because it just brings me back to how melancholy it is to read those good bye notes, and the comments of friends who wish the best but don't want to see them go.
I think a lot of people still care about this place even when they leave, if someone were to compare it to youtube comments this place seems like a paradise. And no one wants to see it become less
