Tabula Rasa shuts down tomorrow

Tomorrow another MMO dies. This time it’s Richard Garriot’s Tabula Rasa. Unlike some other MMO, Tabula Rasa isn’t going down without a fight.

Starting tomorrow at 8PM CST, and lasting till midnight, there will be a full on alien invasion. According to a message from the development team, “We request that all military personnel begin fortifying defenses at every AFS base in preparation for a massive Bane assault. If enemy troop movements are as large as we fear, and the Neph are truly prepared to lead all out war against us, this may be our last stand. 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.”

I always get sad when a MMO dies. I can’t help but think of all the gamers who have spent hours and hours of their time, only to have all their winning vanish at the flick of a switch. Hopefully this last event will be something to remember.
