Why you might like it

  • None — Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa permanently shut down on February 28, 2009, and is no longer playable through any official service.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • NCsoft closed the game after it failed to meet financial targets, roughly 15 months after its November 2007 launch.
  • The shutdown followed designer Richard Garriott's departure from NCsoft, which led to a legal dispute and a reported $24 million settlement over his termination.
  • A single fan-run private server/emulation project (Infinite Rasa) exists but remains a significant work in progress, with much of the original game not yet recreated.
  • The game blended sci-fi shooter mechanics into traditional MMORPG systems, a distinctive combination for its era that never got the chance to mature with further updates.
  • This profile is kept for historical reference — there is no official server or complete way to experience the original game today.
