In late september 2015, Jagex Games Studio released a sandbox-mmo based on their original title "Runescape"

This game mode game to be known as Darkscape. since the release of this game, many old veterans of runescape have explored the feeling of their favourite game, obtaining a feeling of true nostalgia and making many great friendships due to the small, but dedicated community that has formed through the game. 

I am inclined to ask the support of anyone who has witnessed a video game or favourite hobby to explore how the shut-down of this game, with little to no warning and no justification will impact the bonds, friendships and hobby that has inspired many people to have an enjoyable experience in their lives to stand up and go out with a bang or convince the development team to keep this game alive in some shape or form.

This may seem to many like a completely irrelevant cause, which hardly impacts upon peoples emotions and lifestyle, but i will explain how this is not entirely the case, and try to convince you that many people are being impacted on by this complete lack of customer service and quite frankly, morally unjust action that has caused chaos within a small percentage of dedicated players within an already popular game.

Many people have dedicated hundreds and even thousands of hours of their time, effort and money to play what is now known as Darkscape, the community has declined into a stable form with over ~2000 players logging in each day (As much as the average activity on up to 4 normal runescape 3 worlds (Servers)

They have made exceptional friends, and have enjoyed this game to its fullest capacity, and even when the developers had not communicated for over a month about of any kind, the optimism that was kept within our community was extremely overwhelming, only to be swiftly and wrongly shut down in an instant based on a companies alter-ego.

Please lend me your support in the ongoing cause, even if it doesn't change anything, it shows the company that we aren't going out without a fight. 

For anyone slightly interested in this cause, i request that you please check this subreddit out, as it might influence your decision to help support what we worked so hard to build over the past 6-8 months.

and for anyone interested in the companies response, however statistically incorrect it may be, here is their announcement of the game shutting down:
