Why would they waste their time releasing this stuff when they are shutting down soon? :-\

Because the content was likely already developed and ready for beta testing; it sucks that it's going to get trashed soon, but it's better than not deploying it at all - at least it can serve a purpose, even if it's for a limited amount of time.

Which begs this other question, I haven't been following TR for a good while, have they said if the game will be available for legal private servers yet? So it can live on in some limited capacity?

Seems like a slap in the face to all the players really, expanding on the content, making game better and doing cool things, then WHAM servers are down - forever

In their defense, they've probably been working on this latest content for weeks/months and it wouldn't make much sense to the existing players to just "drop it and run away". If it was finished or close to finished, then why not release it?

Just because "the end" is coming, doesn't mean one commits suicide to create an alternate ending.

Why would they blow the servers up in the face of their playerbase? They can still create another MMO, and it'd be nice to have the existing base's support for it.

Isn't this the patch they said was going to "save the game"?
Looks like they wasted their time, NC Korea never had any intention of letting this game keep running apparently.

the developers were just about done with this when the announcement of the shutdown hit, so they decide to publish it anyway. so far it has been a blast, while i am sad that the game is gonna go the way of the dodo, i can say i had alot of fun

"For those players left to enjoy Tabula Rasa in its final months, Destination Games has remained diligent about keeping up with quality content."

Corrected for you.

And yes, with how much work they put in and nearly completed for D15, it would have made less sense to not finish it and release it as one last "thank you" to the players who had also been slapped in the face by NCsoft's announcement.
