Last week Richard Garriot announced his departure from NCSoft in order to pursue new endeavors. In the wake of this announcement and less-than-lackluster sales, the MMO company announced that Tabula Rasa is shutting down. New content that’s finished will be brought to the game, but the servers will be shutdown on the last day of February. On the bright side, the servers will be free to play starting January 10, 2009. Here’s what the official posting to the community had to say: To the Tabula Rasa Community, Last November we launched what we hoped would be a ground breaking sci-fi MMO. In many ways, we think we’ve achieved that goal. Tabula Rasa has some unique features that make it fun and very different from every other MMO out there. Unfortunately, the fact is that the game hasn’t performed as expected. The development team has worked hard to improve the game since launch, but the game never achieved the player population we hoped for. So 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. |
