Tabula Rasa, the sci-fi MMO from NCsoft and Richard Garriott, will shut down on February 28, according to an official message on the Tabula Rasa site. The game officially launched in November 2007, meaning that it will have lasted approximately 15 months. This brings to a close the long saga behind the game; it began development in 2001 and encountered numerous delays.

"Last November, we launched what we hoped would be a ground breaking sci-fi MMO. In many ways, we think we've achieved that goal. Tabula Rasa has some unique features that make it fun and very different from every other MMO out there. Unfortunately, the fact is that the game hasn't performed as expected. The development team has worked hard to improve the game since launch, but the game never achieved the player population we hoped for," the post, which was attributed to the Tabula Rasa team, read.

The post went on to add that the Tabula Rasa servers will be made free to play on January 10, allowing anyone to experience it before it shuts down on February 28. The team says that it will "be doing some really fun things... and we plan to make staying on a little longer worth your while."

This certainly marks a setback for NCsoft and Garriott, even though he recently announced plans to leave NCsoft to pursue his interests in space. Garriott, the creator of Ultima and Ultima Online and an early pioneer in the RPG genre, was the sixth space tourist in history last October. He paid approximately $30 million to fly aboard the International Space Station for 12 days.

Tabula Rasa is set on alien worlds, where the last remnants of humanity battle against an alien coalition known as The Bane. Like World of Warcraft, it required a monthly subscription to play.

Is Second Life dying? No, but the buzz is gone. For all the sound and fury over recent a href="http://www.alleyinsider.com/2008/10/linden-lab-s-survival-plan-spike-second-life-user-fees"price hikes/a and a href="http://www.alleyinsider.com/2008/11/linden-lab-pulls-back-second-life-price-hikes"layoffs at Linden Lab/a, Second Life has a community of fanatically loyal users. Since Linden Lab derives its revenue from user fees, not advertisements, Second Life is much more likely to survive the Web 2.0 shakeout than most other startups./p pIt's hard to say what, if anything, Linden Lab can do to make Second Life appeal to a general audience. The very things that most appeal to Second Life's hardcore enthusiasts are either boring or creepy for most people: Spending hundreds of hours of effort to make insignificant amounts of money selling virtual clothes, experimenting with changing your gender or species, getting into random conversations with strangers from around the world, or having pseudo-nonymous sex (and let's not kid ourselves, sex is a huge draw into Second Life). As part of walking my "beat," I'd get invited by sources to virtual nightclubs, where I'd right-click the dancefloor to send my avatar gyrating as I sat at home at my computer. It was about as fun as watching paint dry./p pBut here's how Linden Lab can make Second Life more fun and a better business:/p ol listrongBuild good newbie-oriented content./strong Linden has always taken the position they're in the 3D platform business, and can't be expected to build anything with their own tools or even know what others are doing in Second Life. That argument didn't fly when the a href="http://secondlife.reuters.com/stories/2007/08/14/virtual-speakeasies-defy-second-life-gambling-ban/"gambling scandal/a broke and it doesn't work now. Second Life has a monster learning curve, and Linden Lab needs to hold new users' hands through every step of their first five or six hours. A big content push isn't even that expensive: the company has proven a href="http://secondlife.reuters.com/stories/2008/03/03/linden-lab-hiring-up-to-40-part-time-content-creators/"it can pay Second Lifers $10/hr/a to do these things and have skilled content creators begging for the job./li listrongAcknowledge that Second Life's reputation is now a liability./strong This isn't the worst thing in the world, but it does mean Second Life can't sit back and hope word-of-mouth brings in hordes of new users like it did back in 2006. Second Life needs to advertise, and the ads need to be hip. New CEO Mark Kingdon has an ad background and should have the right r sum to pull off a makeover./li listrongRadically simplify the user interface./strong The Second Life UI is a mess, and there's been no major changes to it in Second Life's 5+ years. Making the Second Life experience easy-to-use, even graceful, isn't a nice-to-have, it's a business imperative./li listrongAbandon the idea that Second Life is a a href="http://www.alleyinsider.com/2008/10/second-life-offers-business-teleconferencing-now-penis-free"business app/a./strong I wasn't in Second Life to play, I was there on assignment for Reuters. The login server would crash. I'd try to reach sources, but Second Life's IM window would hang on "waiting" all day when trying to figure out who was online. "Teleports" -- the ability to move from point to point anywhere in Second Life -- would stop working and I'd get locked out of my own office. These weren't one-offs, they were my daily, first-hand, happens-all-the-time experiences. For all its bugs, Second Life is tolerable as a playground, but enterprise users will never and should never use it for business. Re-focus on the core mission: Keeping the hobbyists happy and converting potential recruits into hardcore (read: fees-paying) users./li /ol pNone of these things will make Second Life palatable to the general public, but it will draw new traffic and keep a lot more potential users with the right temperment for Second Life from quitting in frustration on their first day. That might be enough for the next year or two./p pThere's an incredible depth, passion, and camaraderie to the Second Life community that more popular online experiences like MySpace or World of Warcraft can't match. And while I didn't find it compelling, there really is something awesome about buying be able to "buy" a grid of blank 3D space, mold it like clay into an elven forest, a futuristic space station, or a bdsm dungeon, and then invite your friends to hang out./p pstrongSee Also:/strongbr /a href="http://www.alleyinsider.com/2008/10/linden-lab-s-survival-plan-spike-second-life-user-fees"Real Estate Crashes In Second Life, Too: Linden Lab's Bailout Plan/abr /a href="http://www.alleyinsider.com/2008/11/linden-lab-pulls-back-second-life-price-hikes"Linden Lab Pulls Back Second Life Price Hikes, Confirms Layoffs/abr /a href="http://www.alleyinsider.com/2008/10/second-life-offers-business-teleconferencing-now-penis-free"Second Life Offers Business Teleconferencing, Now Penis-Free/abr /a href="http://www.alleyinsider.com/2008/11/how-google-could-have-made-lively-work"How Google Could Have Made Lively Work: No Sex, More Ads, Firefox /a/p pa href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/6Ca7lLqMaVq-hTM2p0wxFd0sj0o/a"img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/6Ca7lLqMaVq-hTM2p0wxFd0sj0o/i" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pdiv class="feedflare" a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=o7Yix8mb"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?i=o7Yix8mb" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=m9QePwLd"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?d=52" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=2jVSFrEs"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?d=80" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=8KiM934T"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?i=8KiM934T" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=jXcJQ9Zx"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?d=131" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=oOwtP6Px"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?d=336" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=YOiDJKL4"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?d=41" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=L1kgB3T4"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?d=50" border="0"/img/a /divimg src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider/~4/VFnMRFy9-4Y" height="1" width="1"/

img src='http://s.sk-gaming.com/image/image/38dbe91b6b34a331m.jpg' alt='Image' width='270' height='180' align='right'/Gravitas Gaming announced today the release of four of their Warcraft players, as well as their intention to acquire two more.

Si Blizzard continue régulièrement de réitérer son souhait de proposer une extension de World of Warcraft par an, il aura fallu - comme pour The Burning Crusade - deux fois plus de temps au développeur pour mettre au point Wrath of the Lich King, soit le second add-on du MMORPG le plus joué au monde...

A Dwarven Death Knight kills Proto Drake eggs for the Alliance.

A Dwarven warrior quests in Baryl Point.

Unholy Death Knights desacrate Howling Fjord.

A Orc Death Knight is "born."

Could anyone goto the Account management page and tell me if it loads for you?
