NCSoft Gets Ready to Close Tabula Rasa

The widely acclaimed Tabula Rasa will end its service on February 28th, according to the open letter distributed by the company. The company has begun distributing rewards for their other games, as well as refunding subscriptions that were paid for February and January. NCSoft had sited that the reason for closing the service was that the game had a player population of less than it had anticipated, citing a gap between real and expected revenues.
Rumors had been floating around that Tabula Rasa would be made free to the public, however with the recent events putting forth, Tabula Rasa seems to be officially closing all services. Tabula Rasa will indeed be missed by many players, however in my opinion, I think NCSoft is making the right decision to focus on their more popular games, instead of lingering on some of their dying franchises.
