Just a couple of weeks after Richard Garriott announced his departure, NCsoft confirms the end for his sci-fi MMO...
MMO-exclusive publisher NCsoft has confirmed that the servers for Tabula Rasa will be switched off at the end of February next year.
The news comes just a fortnight after the game's designer (and space tourist) Richard Garriott announced that he was leaving the company to focus on new interests.
Tabula Rasa launched in November 2007 with a host of features aimed at pushing the development of the MMORPG genre, including 'ethical parables', character cloning, and the LOGOS alien technology.
In a statement on the Tabula Rasa website, the development announced that, “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.”
As a result of the decision, Tabula Rasa will be free of subscription charges from January 2009.
Tabula Rasa isn't the first NCsoft MMO to close its doors within the first two years of going live; 2007 saw the Auto Assault servers shut down after less than eighteen months of launch.

The ISS isn't a permanent space station. Like Mir, it's going to come down after some number of years (so far, it looks like NASA has only promised it'll definitely be up til 2016). You're better off "preserving your DNA" by burying a jar of spit in your back yard.

I recently purchased from Offgamers. It has been a great experience. The prices were rock bottom and their customer support is outstanding. It took a total of 2 days to get my complete order. I was very pleased. I will order from them again and if you are looking for a dependable seller please check these guys out you won't be disappointed.

Even I don´t like the idea off paying for an online fee every month, this might be the future for some online games

Looks promising but so does Hellgate London. Seems these two games will probably go head to head before wooing long term players of other MMOs
