Tabula Rasa to Close

Category: NCSoft, TR

It is with regret that we must announce that Tabula Rasa will end live service on February 28, 2009. 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. For more details about what we are doing for Tabula Rasa players, please click here. Stay tuned for more information. We thank you for your loyal support of the game and encourage you to take us up on the benefits we’re offering Tabula Rasa players.

Damn it.

    It’s never a happy day to see an MMO offlined. NC Soft has been tough on underperformers, as we saw with Auto Assault. But in general when the community sees games shut down so quickly, it just encourages people to choose more quickly whether to invest in a game or not — which pressures developers to release games that are more finished, which in turn creates a lot of financial pressure. It’s probably a reflection of the economic conditions as well, but in all not a very good development for the industry.

    Sad to hear that.

    I didn’t even know about this game but I think it’s a sad day for the game team.

    :(

    good luck for this team.
