The RuneScape universe continues growing with the new MMO from Jagex, DarkScape, a new free to play PvP sandbox MMO, which takes place in an alternate universe of RuneScape. You can access the game using a RuneScape account, and RuneScape players can play DarkScape getting 50% more experience, double bank space and an extra item kept safe on death, which essentially means that they'll progress more quickly through the game.

In DarkScape we can explore areas of Gielinor, which is normally reserved to the members of RuneScape, which will be classified as low, medium and high-risk areas. Each zone has its own economy, limited banks and strict teleportation limits. In the zones of maximum threat players will find the most valuable resources and high-level content.

Essentially in the game we'll compete for resources, we'll fight in exciting PvP battles all over the world using the Legacy RuneScape combat system. Another important fact about the PvP is that when we die we drop all the items of our inventory to the ground.

"As big fans of sandbox survival games, DarkScape was born from an idea we first bandied around the studio a couple of years ago. Even while it's been on the backburner, it's stayed with us," said Conor Crowley, senior producer of DarkScape. "Developing a new take on the world of RuneScape, one where PvP gameplay rules supreme, has proved very exciting. We spent time looking for a way to get DarkScape into the hands of players as soon as possible, so launching the game today is very much an experimental first step. That said, it will continue to evolve and further develop based on how players explore our fresh take on a deadly MMO experience!"
