Speak of the Devil: Tabula Rasa Shutting Down

By: Andrew Lee, Nov 24, 2008

With Richard Garriott leaving NCSoft, it shouldn’t be any surprise that his baby, Tabula Rasa, will shut down its servers on February 28th. As I mentioned a few days ago, Tabula Rasa fared well with critics, but underperformed, considering its massive budget and bloated development time.

I never got my hands on it, but it sounds like the people who did play it enjoyed it. I wonder how much of the game’s ultimate failure can be attributed to NCSoft, and how much can be attributed to the stranglehold that World of Warcraft has on the genre.
