A darkscape player suggest that me
DarkScape got really boring after so many people stopped playing and worlds got harshly de-populated.
The reason I am making this thread, is I think it might help better understand why so many people stopped playing it, because they might think the same way as I do.
I have a strong feeling it might have been because of the GE tax and then the removal of smuggling. This took a lot away from of smugglers and smuggler killers. Back then it was very enjoyable finding new routes to kill people or smuggle, and the most enjoyable thing about it was you never know what the person would drop. The element of mystery and risk was amazing. So far, every friend I talked to about this misses smuggling and wishes it was back, and they don't like the tax either.
I really enjoyed DarkScape and hope that soon Jagex will revive it, either by bringing back smuggling or making some new really good updates.
Thanks for the good times, I will be playing DeadMan mode and OSRS, sometimes will be checking DarkScape to merchant, possibly PK, although nowadays most of the times there is nobody to PK. I might be training some afkable skills while playing DeadMan.
Jagex is still in the process of uploading new data

Put it on forums on what you would like to see in game as it updates you might see your idea put into the game. Watch out for the new DEV Q&A videos also remember to vote on the polls. Im sorry to hear that you are not going to be playing DS anymore I hope to see you around the DS world but sounds like you are Quitting DS If you change your mind you can add me ingame. My buddy is in a clan called Pk Reglatorz if you would like to join. His name is "Aaron LOD" just send him a pm and maby the clan will make you want to keep playing.
