infinaterasa (.com) is trying to recreate the game (they have some maps done from what i understand and walking around and all that stuff but they need programmers
The condensed version is that the game spent far too long in development. NCSoft sank a whole lot of money into the project, and they wanted to see some return on investment... So they forced the game out the door before it was ready.
Fast forward about six months: TR was running smoothly, nearly all complaints had been addressed, and subscriptions were on the rise.
Then NCSoft pulled the plug. They basically decided make more money elsewhere.
Ouch. I hope that doesn't happen with Conan. Sounds like the same story thus far. We're on the subscriptions on the rise phase, but I get scared - especially with the lack of respect some FunCom employees put out on the forums. It drives players away.
@FreneticfangsFL Thanks to a pending lawsuit between Richard Garriot and NCSoft, it's unlikely that Tabula Rasa will ever be seen again. And that perhaps is the saddest thing of all. :`(
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I use the 64-bit version of Fraps running on WinXP x64. It's a nice lightweight capture program that does what I want. It ran smoothly without any hiccups even at 1920x1200 resolution. For all the audio and video editing, I used Magix Movie edit Pro.
Thanks for the info, i'll have to look further into Magix, but the display and quality throughout this clip has basically already made up my mind for me :) Again mate great vid. I wish they would make some sort of emu for this game, my friend showed it to me a few weeks ago and sadly I never got to play it.
The piece is called "Lux Aeterna," by Clint Mansell. Originally the soundtrack to the movie "Requiem for a Dream," it has since been used for several movie trailers. The remix I used is sometimes called "Requiem for a Tower" from its use in "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" trailer.
I loved playing this game, from Beta to Close. One way or aother I hope something happens someday so I can enjoy it again. I have no interest in anything else NcSoft currently offers, or any company for that matter.
I want to kill myself for not playing this game when I had the chance, It looks way better than I originally thought, I heard there are several private server projects. With this, close down, I bet NcSoft lost alot of fans, added to the lost ones for the promise of GW2
Long live Tabula Rasa. Long live Foreas Base. Long live Synergy.

So why did this game die off? It looks fantastic and I don't even like sci-fi.

@FreneticfangsFL That is a long story...

Somewhere out there, someone who posted a video of their pet hamster is currently just as perplexed with your comment as you are. XD

Considering that it was, "And there you'll be, at the end of the world, pole dancing"... yeah, they'll be confused. ^^
