Tabula Rasa

[Boss]

NCSoft announced today that it will be closing down Tabula Rasa on February 28th. The sci-fi shooter-flavored MMO struggled for quite some time, despite recent attempts to draw in new players by announcements of new features, price reductions, and using Richard Garriott's trip into space as a promotion. We discussed Garriott's departure from NCSoft a couple weeks ago. This is NCSoft's second failed MMO, and apparently layoffs are in the works. They seem to be making an effort to make the game's last few months as fun as they can for their remaining players, though. "Before we end the service, we'll make Tabula Rasa servers free to play starting on January 10, 2009. We can assure you that through the next couple of months we'll be doing some really fun things in Tabula Rasa, and we plan to make staying on a little longer worth your while."

Translation: January 10th, it's free!

Just go play the game and have fun dammit.

all in all the conclusion is that disco doesn't need antagonist factions, it doesn't need phantoms, it doesn't need nomads, it doesn't need coalition and it doesn't need many other things, no AIs, the game is hijacked by morons to confuse the game with their dickwaving generic competition games mixed up with troll-of-the-day.

Yeah, for a month:laugh:
Wonder what that second failed mmo was though... Not that it matters much, as long as GW2 becomes a success.

Yeah, I tried playing Tabula Rasa and just couldn't get into it...

I'm also wondering what their other failed MMO was, because as far as I know GW isn't considered an MMO and is still played quite a bit..

Don't they also do City of Heroes / Villians? And that's a pretty big hit.
And the Lineage games? Seems to me their only crappy MMO was Tabula Rasa.
