Maybe it's possible that 2 cities were created by this new curse that caused the main characters to be separated. However, I'm not sure the curse can explain why Regina, Hook and Gold haven't aged because time seemed to be moving when Henry and Lucy were still in the EF, unless, this is a similar curse that can trap people in time without most of the magical lands being frozen has well. I doubt anything tragic happened, but if Rumpel and Hook are in fact cursed, being separated from their true loves makes perfect sense.
