In yet another long line of tragedies for the Tabula Rasa community, the Alpha Wolf Pack has announced that it will be packing up and retiring from their duties. This group of dedicated players have mostly moved on to other games, or simply retired their characters from Tabula Rasa itself. There were no other reasons given, yet we all know that simple lack of interest is all that's needed.
What was the Alpha Wolf Pack, you might ask? It was a group of nine players (one for each tier 4 class in the game, plus one for overall game mechanics) that was dedicated to acting as a liaison between the community and the devs. This group wrote reports and filed them with the NCsoft dev team as a way to get the players' most-pressing concerns heard. This group lays claim to such successful endeavors as the respeccing changes and the Prestige system which was recently implemented. This most recent set-back to the TR community seems to be a big one, but we hope the community -- and the game -- can recover.

I have to admit they aren't the only ones, I've gotten really disillusioned with it recently, I'm strongly considering jacking it in and going back to EVE.
Lack of interest after level 30, lack of new content, no endgame, and very little to do when you get to level 50. A lot of people are just plain bored of it. It's not even so exciting that I can be bothered to play through it again to level up more lower characters.
I left the Matrix Online because of the same thing (it set in earlier in MxO though), it makes me sad in a way with all this technology and marvelous developers and masterminds like Richard Garriot and the Wachowskis. MMORPGs seem to consist of getting someone with great imagination and ideas to spend millions authoring a game, then when they've released it you pull the rug out from under them, move the team onto something else and let the game die a slow, painful death, bleeding it's players dry in the process.
When will these people realise that if they continue to invest, and develop, and grow games like CCP and Blizzard do, then people will keep coming, the games will blossom and they will make more money than they ever would on a one shot wonder like TR.
