I haven't seen any of the devs for the game on in months. Rumors say another version is in the works but I fear it's just rumor. Anyone?

A lot of people wonder the same. The sim has been lagging more and more in the past few months. As of Dark Life 2, it was a go. But like you said -- no one is ever on.

Dark Life is not dying, just slowly people are losing interest due to the lack of new and exciting events going on. Dark life community is still growing, but to get the vets going and making them go beyond the call of duty we need more excitement....like the promising of pvp, or maybe the hard work of the team on the mine shaft to introduce some new elements....Ahh Mark...where are you?

Ahh. Yeah. Hmm, mark and I are spread across the world now. Me back in NZ, him still in European parts. Both of us also have more work and the difficulties of getting scheduled at the same time makes things tricky.
So.. maybe stuff will happen.. maybe it won't. Either way, it's been a lot of fun!

Recently I got a message I was hoping for:
"Feature Proposal 6: "Object to Object communication" has been marked 'acknowledged' by Linden Lab."
that means that there COULD be a future for DarkLife. I was just getting sick of the technical problems that we had. Problems that where not caused by darklife itself but rather more by lagging issues and SL problems . Also it was too hard to keep darklife updated. When the new object2object stuff is out I can centralise all the monster stats and be able to make a much better version of darklife. WHEN and IF that will happen I don't know for sure; I have other projects to finish first. But I give it about 80% chance that we will start on a newer version this year... but ehhhh the new version will also have new game rules, which could mean you have to start over.. maybe.. but I guess that will piss you off like hell so we'll have to see about that...

from what ive seen and heard, DL is prett6y much extinct, but there are several new games of the same flavor in the works by several groups. ive been trying to help one of them with the building of props and monsters, but it'll be quite some time before the scripts are done, and the sim is active. other then that, i havent heard of any good scripted RPG sims that are still activly running thesedays, as it seems to be difficult finding enough active staff to keep them going satisfatorily.
although.. if you know of any, i'd love to know about it.. ^^

Hi Hi,  I havent posted in here for quite some time. I just thought id jump in and say I am still devoted to the project. I had to leave secondlife for a few months inorder to get my RL together but im back and Ive started college in order to get more training to give more of my life to online gaming and darklife. Im currently in the planning stage of reorganizing darklife inorder to make it run more smoothly and to better promote upgrades to the system. Thank you all for being so patient with us. Crash
