The security environment on East Republic Road began to improve in version 0.5 when the number of players surged.
The change was gradual, and a new order was quietly being established.
This can be seen from multiple angles.
The gang members who used to extort protection fees door-to-door, eat for free, and readily slash people with knives haven't vanished entirely. After all, the gangs do have businesses on this street—restaurants, bars—they can't just give them up. At least they're cautious not to cause outrageous incidents here.
Paying the bill honestly, making change properly.
For the gangs, there's good news and bad news.
The bad news is that all illegal businesses besides color and gambling suffered heavy blows; stockpiled organic organs and limbs were confiscated, drug factories were raided completely.
The losses were nothing short of severe.
