Tabula Rasa Going Out With A Bang

Mytob notes that sci-fi MMO Tabula Rasa is set to close down tomorrow, and the development team has something special planned for the game's final hours. The decision to close the game was made in November, and it went free-to-play a month later, while the developers continued to roll out the new content they had planned. Now, after a round of patches and server merges, the beleaguered MMO has reached its shutdown date. The game's primary enemies, the Bane, are launching an all-out offensive on Allied forces, which will culminate in a battle beginning at 8PM on Saturday and lasting until midnight. All players are being called in as reinforcements in this apocalyptic fight, though the final announcement says, "Penumbra has been informed of the situation and is standing by on the use of their last resort weapon. We can not afford to be complacent or uncertain, but if it is truly our destiny to be destroyed, we are taking them all with us."

    If its Tabula Rasa, no. Also, fuck you.

    You can't be serious.

    So, you can't tell a human player from an AI one, and that's the game's fault? It's very clear. since player chars have their hame, clan, and title above them. Sounds to me like you're talking out your ass.

    Also, big surprise, Blizzard Fanboy #1 doesn't like a game that isn't WoW. Holy shit, this is breaking news.

    I guess since TR required skill to aim, fire, and use the cover system, it couldn't attract the WoW players who are used to standing still and hitting the same three buttons over and over. Boo hoo.
