I agree there should be a way to save this game, but I don't believe it's being shut down solely on the basis of being a failed MMO.

I suspect the shut down has more to do with Richard Garriot's name. NCsoft appears to be ridding themselves of anything associated with him as way of saying we are better than him and we don't need him or his game.

I propose that NCsoft hash out a reasonable deal with Garriot to remove his name from Tabula Rasa. Then restructure the game for smaller server(s) and different payment plans.

The game is savable, its just a matter of whether NCsoft is willing to let go of their perceived disdain for Garriot and concentrate on the customers they have.
