Linky...

Keep your chins up, Stephen et al! You guys took an old, failed game and turned it into the success it is today! Kudos to you and your team!

Yes, it shows once again what a success this game is, unlike other games, it is not so popular everyone knows its name, but thats just fine, as DR still is gaining a fair amount of players, and makes profit.. as far as I know.. enough to make NCSoft happy

Quote:

During a conference call on February 14 NCsoft's CFO Lee Jae-ho stated that, "Because of this disappointing result, some downsizing in Austin is inevitable."





Stephen.. tell Lee Jae-ho to not scale down the DR team.. that sentence of him sounds dangerious.. hope DR doesnt takes damage too of Tabula Rasa burning cash.

Here's a followup to this article:

http://www.massively.com/2008/02/18/tabula-rasa-news-not-what-it-seems/

From what I understand this is from the same reporter who once said NCsoft was leaving the gaming market....

*boggled*

I have no doubt that the DR team will continue to grow in upcoming months.

I have played Tabula Rasa since beta. And there has always been people predicting its downfall. It seems to be a game that you either love or hate.

The starter battlefields seem to be as hectic as ever. The mobs hardly get a chance to breath before an throng of slavering noobs mows them down.

Anyway I just hope that Tabula Rasa lives till I have gotten my Spy to level 50 and equipped her with some cool Stealth Armour that I am keeping my charcoal dye for.

And given my sedate levelling pace that will be sometime in the far future.
