In one of the smoothest launches for MMO that we have ever seen, Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa form NCsoft splashed into the MMORPG pool. Replacing crossbows for shotguns and Orcs for aliens, Tabula Rasa may just do what it set out to do: invigorate the MMO market with fresh ideas both simple and fun. Garriott choose to eliminate the number crunching of some medieval MMO titans and replace it with immersive and constant action. He wants to simply the stats, get the players into the game and let them play. In a lot of ways, he was successful, and in other ways, it's the same ole mint gum with a new wrapper.
UGO gives Tabula Rasa an overall rating of A-.
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.
