You may be reading that title up there and thinking that's a typo -- like 1UP must have forgotten a zero or something. And you'd be right, 1UP did forget something: not to round up.
Richard Garriot's Tabula Rasa has fallen on hard times lately -- what with other high-profile MMOs like Age of Conan and Warhammer Online stealing away their thunder -- but 1UP doesn't think they realized quite how far the game has been sinking. Many retailers, including Gamestop, have stopped carrying the game altogether, but the clearest indicator that all is not well with NCSoft's space MMO probably comes from Amazon. Right now, the online retailer has dropped the price of Tabula Rasa to $0.96 (and once again, no, that's not a typo).

I agree when it comes to The Sims Online. That game was really fun and nothing has even come close to it. I still crave a new Sims with online multiplayer. Blows my mind they haven't done anything like that since The Sims Online or even The Sims Bustin' Out on PS2.
GamesRadar - You probably think online worlds shut down because no one's playing. Actually that's rarely true. Often, when servers finally wink out, there's a thriving community patiently waiting for the end and making sad faces at the sky. Most recently it was PlayStation Home, a game that no-one apparently played but which still managed to have millions of inhabitants waiting out their own personal apocalypse on the last day.

Sad Boosh :(
Wouldn't be so bad if it were a free 2 play MMO. I believe. I thought about getting this when I saw it, but I couldn't pay the monthly fee to play it.
Still Garriot could blow a 50 million dollars or whatever going into space the game must have made some money atleast.
NCsoft needs to get up off their butts and announce a PS3 game already.
"Tabula Rasa has fallen on hard times lately -- what with other high-profile MMOs like Age of Conan..."
Lol? Age of Conan probably sank faster than TR did. Warhammer has a decent install base now, but the market belongs to Blizzard.
