Tabula Rasa: The Final Stand

[sunchips321]

i miss that game

[OcalaBiggun]

Will they ever have a game that compared to TR? I say bring it back! Is there any other game out there that compares?

[Xenokyn]

@OcalaBiggun firefall is shaping up to supersede it in just about every way

[jman19mwi]

@OcalaBiggun Global Agenda

[kooper35]

No Tabula Rasa emulators/private servers around then?

[Aganiel]

@kooper35 there are

[C0ff3Y]

i dream that i'm playing this game, bring it back! i miss it sooooo much!

[tanks608]

miss this game

[Sjiznit]

i played this game a long time and loved it :( wanted to go and play it agian but no more tabula rasa :( RIP

[Brooksie1611]

I miss this. :(

[Akrombio]

heh APB closed down and i remembered tabula rasa beta and thought maybe i should start it... guess NOT lololol.

[SangreSombra]

Das Poster hängt heute noch an meiner Wand! Still missing TR!!!

[Zure467]

it's really a shame to see a game be litterally "dead"

[BubbleGumNipples]

@Zure467

All games are literally dead. As of yet there has never been a computer game that has been literally alive. ;)

[LaggCentral]

2:18 ... a clown? lol top right

[Curoudo93]

damn I miss this game, the community, everything about it, the fact that skill mattered a lot and not the lvl/equp like in every other game, that's what made it so great! wish someone would bring it back, would gladly pay the double sub fee for it :/

[mystrdat]

Well, it was one of the least enjoyable MMO experiences I had, it felt so pointless to play. Still nice to see the dev team pulled off this NY mayhem in the end.

[dantrog1]

this looks so much better than global agenda.... global agenda still relies too much on numbers compared to skill

[stareagle11]

Still miss this game today there is nothing like it. (Global agenda is crap face it not enough value for your money)

Didn't make it to the final night though had family matters, a well long gone and doubtfully it will ever return seeing the huge cost of setting everything up and the fact of the low player base.

[sampension]

Isnt the trial between RG vs NCSoft over? RG is planning to make something on facebook. Maybe from the money he got from the settlement? Fail RG is fail

[Chewbernaught]

Bring this game back NC Soft.

You heinous Villains and rippers of gamers hearts.

[Jawjimo]

i got the collectors edition of this cheaper than the normal version :P awesome game.only mmo worth the subscription

[shurite]

God damnit this game looks awesome! I remember hearing about it when it first came out but I never gave it a chance...

Now I'm fucking scrambling around trying to find a decent sci-fi mmo, and there was one right there all along.

[MrCloudid]

@shurite well, maybe you should check out Global Agenda

[Corey897]

That game is terrible.

[ichael333]

yeah, i know how you feel, i didnt realise it had shutdown until i saw this video, god damn it looked awesome

[kengie2]

T_T let them bring teh game back, and make it a F2P with cashshop.... I Miss U T.R!!

[kelteel]

I really enjoyed this game. Played from day 1 until the final battle. I really hope for some kind of resurrection. I would even re-buy the game if they released it as a single player game (which should be possible and really worth playing).

RIP TR and I hate NCSoft.

[TeeJayFlowTV]

Man I quit playing this game for a little while just so I could wait for some more updates, then I come back to a notice by NCSoft saying the game is shutting down. Kind of sad really I definitely enjoyed it. RIP TR

[realm087]

Tabula Rasa was a great game. But it closed when it's producer went to space( really).

[Nefusarus]

R.I.P Tabula Rasa..was a really good Time with it.

[crazyacea]

RIP TR

[somthingman]

this game makes me kinda mad, "took six years to make" and it doesn't even stay life for very long! makes me sad =,(

[amil221]

man i h8 to see a good game ending like this it makes me feel like the world is ending even in games like matrix online....the ending was creepy!!!!!!

[NecroNickGR]

Tabula Rasa closed as of February 28, 2009, with servers becoming free to play on January 10, 2009.[2] However, the developers decided to set the servers to free-play a month early, and as of December 23, free play had begun. As of this date, no Tabula Rasa servers are active, meaning that the game can no longer be played.[3]

[HuntersX2NCreations]

it would have been nice to keep this game running, no matter how many players you have. he should have known people would stick with him.

[ManiacKomplex]

the firstperson mmo revolution continues with Dust 514

and you can bet CCP will get it right

[worldwidexterra]

I miss playing this game :(

[Reaverhobbies]

man, i really enjoyed this, richard garriot ur a fucking retard for shutting this down yet that sham you call ultima online remains. there goes an mmo revolution, what the fuck.

[thegreenslime]

You do realize that it was NCSoft, not Garriott that shut this down. NCSoft pretty much stabbed Garriott in the back and fired him and then proceeded to shut down the game because they could use the resources else where for more profit. NCSoft are the "fucking retards"

[teotius]

@thegreenslime Yea and Garriott is suing NCSoft for this and he wants some like 26 millions or was it billions.

[chaff5]

@teotius Million

[Leavon]

@thegreenslime So NCSoft played the role of EA when they stabbed WestWood in the back and closed Earth and Beyond. I hope future independent game companies learn from these examples. Some profit should be enough, if a game is in the Black then leave well enough alone.

[Troublesome2008]

@Leavon

"... and I said to myself, this is the business we've chosen; I didn't ask who gave the order, because it had nothing to do with business!" That's a quote from Hyman Roth, but it applies to every industry. Making videogames is a business. The goal is to make a profit. When you are lucky, one day a big company will offer you large money for your product. And you'll be set for life. It has nothing to do with backstabbing. They all signed on the dotted line...

[jman19mwi]

@thegreenslime well he got fired because he want to go in space. he pick space trip over mmorpg

[tehsmythe]

@Reaverhobbies he did not shut the game down it was NC Soft that shut the game down after they forced him out because the game had lower then expected player base. Richard is currently suing NC Soft for money and the rights to the game so he can reopen the serves under a different company name.

[sampension]

LOL. He is only suing NCSoft for 24$ mill and not the rights of the game.

[comeseedie]

@Reaverhobbies Your a retard.

[Reaverhobbies]

for what expressing the fact i mourn for an outstanding MMO? shut the fuck up I and many others could care less what you have to say.

[comeseedie]

@Reaverhobbies No, i think i got you wrong.. i am sorry, seems like a good game tho, remember seeing it in a pcgamer magazine 06-07.

[rahnyc4]

you know. if they made this game free to download and sell ingame weapons and what not it would maintain like other mmos that do. i mean look at combat arms.

[PiMpStAnLeY]

fly to fucking space and abandon all ur fans.. he didnt give two shits about the project he just wanted to fly to space like his daddy.. what a fucking loser now hes going broke so hes sueing NCsoft for more money? dick garriot needs to be shot by those fucking aliens in the game

[Curoudo93]

Learn the whole story before accusing, please...

[slyguy321]

what a great song for this video

[ozmoz342]

so the game is no longer playable now  =*( just when my pc was being upgraded to get better FPS

[EliteSmash]

LOL yea same shit happen to me! this was the game that I wanted to play so bad! but my computer was way too old to run it even @ low settings. Few months later I buy some awesome ass gaming computers and find out that it go shut down...

[Ralexand1988]

I loved this game too. It had its fails, sure, but it was great anyway.

[Holst1988]

Garriott went to space mainly to give publicity for the game. Tabula Rasa is a awesome game, and Grarriot sued NCsoft because they forced him out from the company. He also want the rights for the game to reopen it with another publisher. And NCsoft isnt THAT good, because they mainly care about money and not the players, just take Lineage 2 as a example, the game is fked due 80% of all servers are bots running around, but they get money for it so they dont do anything about it.

[thenesmaster]

were did you herd that richard wants the rights for the game to reopen it with another publisher? that would be awesom

[sampension]

RG never said about relaunching TR again. He only wants to get his damn $24 mill. If u could link where he said he wants TR then post it. He actually said he wants to do another wow clone game again.

RG went to space because he thought he could impress the chicks with his bald head and his pony tail, fail.

NCSoft paid RG and his team for $100 mill for 7 years of development and when the game was launched they didnt do shit to add more content. That's the fact.

[Holst1988]

Google Tabula Rasa(video game) and you can see it at wikipedia at the bottom of the page. gl

[sampension]

"It is also possible that Garriott may sue for rights to the intellectual property as well as a settlement to reopen and sustain the relaunch of the game servers under a newly formed game company as a measure of good faith to the original subscribers and investors."

Says nothing he gives a damn about TR. He is suing NCsoft for $24 mill. Period.

[sampension]

The settlement is a wish that the TR community wish for. Do u really think he wants the rights of TR instead of his $24 mill? He only cares about his money that he spended on his space travel. He even said on BBC that he wants to make a wow clone game again and he didnt even bother talking about TR . Imagine that.

[ichgo333]

the game was awesome, it was truly as immerse as a true video game. too bad i didn't experience for it for very long.

[DoctaGiggles]

Tabula fricken Rasa!

[razark9]

Save it! SAve TR

[Idiotcy]

I loved this game. The idea was so unique

[Kuroteren]

Yea, dev team screwed it over a lot. There's a lot of things they could've added in expansions to keep it going. I wonder if they would ever think of releasing server files so people could run private servers. >.>

[sampension]

yea.....:p

[Rickynator120]

Kinda lame indeed i bought the game yesterday without knowing it wasnt being able o be used anymore all ncsoft said is, the game isnt availeble anymore blablabla not even done anything else for it, bitches >:(

[sampension]

The Dev team was nice but they didnt manage to do anything to add new content. That's why the game died nothing was added for 1 whole year just few instaces and pvp balance and few new weapons. Would be nice to hear wtf they did in 1 year. RG is the biggest fuckhead he mainly destroyed the game since he was busy with his space travel and now now suing NCSoft for 24$ mill.

[CaCaFoGo]

quite impossible to believe that NCsoft failed that much :( they normaly do awesome advertising that gives them lots of subscriber, maybe it was the tabula rasa team itself that wasnt ready...

[ojon12389]

pew pew

[Laffiono]

God I miss this game now. Wish it came back. But, all we can do is hope

[mikezx2]

is it not possible to play now..? I just read on wiki that the servers became free to play. looks cool

[CaptArmesto]

after the game was out for a few years, they made it free to play.

But in march, they shut down all of the servers and ended the game

[Spuree]

what a fail =(

[Moosixman]

Only the good die young!

[IanJackes]

It was good, but i have to say, it was fairly repetative.

[Kai0nTheMoon]

I'm fine with having something good over & over again. I mean, I play Dynasty Warriors.

[Blaze619619]

funny how 3 months later they have it in stores xD

[MadnessMadMan25]

is this game free plz answer me because i heard its now free download and they made a free server so does this have montly fees??????????????????????

[Desimor]

its gone now... it was free for about 2 months total but then it shut down... God i miss that game.... we will miss u Tabula Rasa...

[somthingman]

its fucken bullshit that it took over 6 years of making and then they shut it down

[Desimor]

AGREED! Man... was it even out for at least a year or 2? Thank God I just got Mass Effect or I would have gone NUTS! Now if only Mass Effect was an MMO. Still waiting for Global Agenda. That might satisfy my Tabula Rasa craving...

[mikezx2]

was it that good? i want a mmo, futute, deus ex style fps/rpg waaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

wonder if huxly with satisfy 10%

[Laffiono]

It was a great game. The servers became free for only a month, right before it closed. But it was a great game never the less

[KupoTiash]

Check out

Stargate worlds

Or

Aion. They are meant to be good, especially Aion^^

[Shademan56]

this game was amazing. they coulndt get it out to the world tho. it was very very fun

[WeedWizz]

"Gay!?...try Grand jeté~ryū  sucker!"

[ianguage]

Don't be fooled by the video, folks. This game was not very good. I agree - I hate when an MMO bites the dust, but this game was not at all as good as it should have been.

[somthingman]

its WAS a great game, but it relys on people playing it to do anything, once some people left, more and more people left, its a bad cycle

[thornhead1994]

It is a sad day when MMO bites the dust.

Looking at the game, it looks brilliant, unfortunatley, I never even heard of the game until I read an article on its shutdown in PCG.

[jake11374]

i loved this game. and miss it already =/

[ariadarabi]

it was so young D=

now its dead.

[hoppimike]

yes yes, but people don't want originality, exciting game concepts or gripping combat in their MMOs... rofl

[c0l0jar0]

the aiming system should have been like a FPS and it would have been mucch more fun

[Desimor]

it was like a fps what are u talking about?

[MaartenvWijk]

uhm, i never played it, but this is Third Person, not First Person.

[ownz690]

You could play in both.

[sunchips321]

tahst it closed

[sunchips321]

amazing game :( suck

[Cstyle12]

hey what server was that? there was no such battle on the centaurus server!

[Ralexand1988]

of course there was!

[Cstyle12]

not on earth from what i remember, i remember everyone asking gm's why there wasnt coming any enemies.

[Ralexand1988]

they had problems, yeah, but finally they managed it. so there was. :)

[hardcorewarlord]

its sad

but realy it was the ''best mmo'' because the wapens ,story and more

i hope they wil make a remake of something

[ahtrhaxx]

fuck! tabula rasa i will miss you!

[Drioden]

*sniffle*...TR was like the first of its kind I hate that it had to go =(

[Gavizuli]

Really a sad thing - Tabula Rasa was the breath of fresh air MMO's needed.

[LordSherpa]

Agree

[lonewulf556]

oh tabula rasa how I will miss you!

[anastasman]
