Tabula Rasa to close its doors in February
By Jessica Citizen - Sat Nov 22, 2008 6:50pm
It is a sad day for the MMO community, as sci-fi title Tabula Rasa announces that they will be ending live service in February 2009.
The news, shared with the Tabula Rasa community via an open letter on their website, follows the revelation earlier this month that legendary game designer Richard Garriott would be leaving the game's developers, NCsoft to pursue other interests.
While it's sad to see Tabula Rasa go, it's nice that they're still looking out for their subscribers and fans, even at this late stage. In addition to offering refunds for game subscriptions, those people who have a current TR subscription (as of 10am Pacific, November 12st 2008), will be receiving the following (courtesy of publishers NCsoft):
For those of you with a current account - all the best for the remaining few months... and those of you who hadn't gotten around to trying Tabula Rasa, this is one game you can cross off your list.

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.
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.
The Tabula Rasa Team
