We’ve seen last season that the Dark One can be killed, so, technically at least, being the Dark One does not give you eternal life.

True, you need the actual dagger to kill the DO, but he can be killed.

The Do that Rumple replaced was old and definitely tired of being the DO, which is not the case with Rumple, so we don’t know what that specific curse brings. There are stories in Greek mythologies of humans being granted immortal life, but not eternal youths, so they grow old and weak, but cannot die. Maybe that is the curse of being the DO, until you can find a replacement, and Rumple somehow (possibly with the Holy Grail) circumvented that part of the curse.

Some more info on the grail and Lancelot

Galahad, illegitimate son of Lancelot and Elaine, the world’s greatest knight and the Grail Bearer at the castle of Corbenic, is destined to achieve the Grail, his spiritual purity making him a greater warrior than even his illustrious father. Galahad and the interpretation of the Grail involving him were picked up in the 15th century by Sir Thomas Malory in Le Morte d’Arthur, and remain popular today.

I think Rumple has the cup as well. To bad we don’t get to see a Troll bridge scene with Rumple/ Lance, since Lance is dead. (Aka: What is your name…? What is your quest…?) LOL. I’m kidding, I’m kidding. I know I’m not the only one thinking it.

Better question: Where does Rumple get all his awesome stuff?! Through deals, or did the curse teleport all of it to his shop?
