Tabula Rasa adds mechs for final fortnight

By Oli Welsh Published 11 February, 2009

NCsoft rages against the dying of the light.

In an an example of either impressive dedication or bizarre futility, NCsoft's Tabula Rasa team has made a major and long-promised addition to the game - mech suits - just two weeks before it's due to close for good.

The time-limited mechs, detailed in the latest patch notes, come in five models themed around various character classes - but any class can use any mech.

You've only got a shade over two weeks to try them out, however, as the science-fiction MMO's servers are due to close on 28th February - a scant 16 months after they opened. At least Tabula Rasa is currently entirely free to play, so you may as well have a look, and give the fallen game a good send-off.

    Way to go out with a bang anyway.I wish I had enough gaming time to try it out, but I'm on 2 MMO first months.

    Hopefully some enterprising person will get a private server running, I'd love to try it out down the line.

    That's dedication.

    I think this is what a lot of people are hoping. There are MMO's out there who, contrary to appearances, are kept alive long after official abandonment by people running servers for the fans.

    I think Tabula Rasa deserves it. It deserves more than being forgotten, having been underfunded because NCSoft have a half-dozen more new MMO's in the works. It's never been great, but it's never been bad either... potential potential potential. Another game that just simply hasn't fulfilled its own potential.
