NCSoft has revealed that the EU server for the troubled MMO Tabula Rasa will not be included in the planned server merge, which is in preparation for the shut-down of the game on 28 February.
The European server will have its own 'sunset event', at a time more suitable to European players.
Let nostalgia take you back to the lands you once roamed until they were cruelly taken offline and away from us. MMOGames list the top 10 MMOs that died and left us with a hole in our hearts.
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.

It's nice that they're doing that at least. Still very sad to see a game shut down.
The Sun will be setting in Tabula Rasa, never to rise again...
Farewell.
Even if I never played TR or even was terribly interested, I still think the feeling of a permanent shutdown is very sad. It's nice that they get a proper event for it, but never the less, for all the players in the universe, it IS sad...
I'm going to space to sort this out
