Tabula Rasa Going Out With A Bang 162
Mytob notes that sci-fi MMO Tabula Rasa is set to close down tomorrow, and the development team has something special planned for the game's final hours. The decision to close the game was made in November, and it went free-to-play a month later, while the developers continued to roll out the new content they had planned. Now, after a round of patches and server merges, the beleaguered MMO has reached its shutdown date. The game's primary enemies, the Bane, are launching an all-out offensive on Allied forces, which will culminate in a battle beginning at 8PM on Saturday and lasting until midnight. All players are being called in as reinforcements in this apocalyptic fight, though the final announcement says, "Penumbra has been informed of the situation and is standing by on the use of their last resort weapon. We can not afford to be complacent or uncertain, but if it is truly our destiny to be destroyed, we are taking them all with us."

Sounds like a plot from Armageddon.
Maybe Ben Affleck should turn up on the final day to make absolutely sure the game loses money!

And I mean this seriously...
Was my bugged character.
I could run at about 5x normal speed, jump about 60', climb to the edges, and beyond (and fall off the edges of!) maps by bouncing up them, very easily.
I must say, once I got bugged, I didn't die once. How could I? I'd just RUN UP A MOUNTAIN and get away.

Couldn't they just wipe the slate clean?
