Dark Sun is my favorite setting and I will play it over any other setting every time. Dark Sun will never die as long as there is player interest. A good example of this is when Dark Sun made its comeback... look at the sales an interest it had with its return. If WoTC never wrote another thing about Dark Sun I would still play it... period as will many others.

I do not like any other setting.
As long as I could play the Dark Sun in the next editions with some extra features; Monsters, Classes and maybe a few bits and bobs.

Lack of interrest? Unlikely. As mentioned before we got one article in each Dragon issue. There are many, diverse topics covered, which allows to create unexpected adventures. Moreover, tou still ahve many adveture hooks in DSCG that only wait to be explored. Actually, tehere is room to DM's idead and for inspirational material, which is fine for me. If I can make wish, it'd be adventure once per month.

Thanks for your numerous answers!
You are all right that there is many old products we can use. I have yet to see what's inside the DDI stuff, but it doesn't seem to have a lots of generated adventures (medium or grand scale).
My point is that I am now older, with kids, a full time job and a 30 horses barn owner AND still want to play DND !! Though, I cannot afford to loose time preparing a game now a day. It's why I NEED existing adventure. I don't want to build one from scratch or convert an old 2e or 3.5e into 4e, because I Don't Have The Time!
It's why I am wondering if I will ever get back to DS... I will have to focus on a RPG that already have a lots of adventures pre-made or to get back to DS 2e or 3.5e...

No offence, but if life make you occupied, why roleplaying AT ALL? In life, we often have to make a few hard choices, to make sacrifices.
Maybe you should drop rpign at all, if so occupied.
This is said without real snark or meaningness.

No offence taken. Thing is that it's one of my only hobby (it's a cheap hobby too!). It's easy to book and we play at home (when we can't, we play Boardgame). It's easy to understand why I strive to keep it: It's to keep my mental sanity! :-)

I know this is why a few of my friends have moved toward pathfinder, they have so much material you could drown in it. The simple fact is that WotC doesn't produce enough adventures for all their settings, because they go through a fine toothed comb. It's good and bad, but ultimately not useful to GM's with limited time and energy.

I fall under that category of having a real life, with a full-time job (I consider 40+ hours a vacation) and kids as well. DS 2e came out when I started college. After a long dry spell of not gaming, I made the decision to stay gaming to allow some type of get-a-way from all of that. Since the kids are starting to get interested in gaming I will be able to pass that excitement along and have fun with it, and that is my drive.
Typically I am able to scavenge existing adventures from other 4e worlds and flavor them with Dark Sun, not all of them work well but the storylines might flow well enough. Knowing the world as well as you do that would be an easy task to add that flavor. I definitely will give the plug for DDI and the adventures they have since you would be able to find lots of other adventures beyond DS that you can use. Definitely request the Ashes of Athas adventures from Baldman Games, they will give you a great adventure.
I do allow myself time to read in the evening before I crash for the night, so I use that time for reading the adventures. Even just creating a few generic encounters that you can throw together during some ad hoc adventure will help maintain some level of gaming sanity!

I just saw the Dark Sun comic book compendium at my local store. Has a few encounters in the back of the book and two character sheets of the main characters.

If those encounter are the same, that were in ordinary issues, the are queite... high level ones, which means you have to have skill in game handling. I wish we had more heroic level adventures.
