This weekend NCsoft finally shut down the servers for their failed sci-fi MMO Tabula Rasa but the remaining players made the most of the final few hours playing Richard Garriott's latest creation as they batlled an alien invasion. In the end the battle to save humanity was won and then . . . well, NCsoft just pulled the plug.

Launched with much fanfare in October 2007 after several years in development (and apparently at least one major shift in the game design) Tabula Rasa never really got off the ground in terms of signing subscribers. The above YouTube video shows the last few minutes of game time and our sister site Massively has some more videos along with a final Tabula Rasa gallery.
