Tabula Rasa

The major problem about MMORPGs is that with regards to the saying, “what has a beginning has an end”, the end tends to happen too soon. I have seen and played great games out there, being one of the very first few avid Malaysian gamers to play online games since the MUD days all the way to RealMUD to MMORPGs over 14.4K modem!!

This time around, the game that will be closing its doors is Tabula Rasa.

Extract from the News page:
“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. ”

What can I say? There goes another good game… down the drain…
