Tabula Rasa goes free-to-play one month early

Am I the only one who thinks that all of the sudden updates, and the early move to F2P is a sign that TR is going "Micro-pay", and will potentially live on?

Little late to the ball here.

I only just realised this means it's actually free, now! Yipes. Client download is already in progress, I can see my Mac isn't gonna spend a lot of time in OS X over the Xmas break :D

I even bought a A1 wall poster while they were still (hopefully) available, so I have something to remember it by when it goes. But hey ya never know, NCSoft might make it free with Micro-transactions for stuff, it seems to be flavor of the month ATM :)

such a good game, now its gonna be gone....whyyyyy

Well, I made an account on NCplay and submitted a question asking for a serial code, Heres the e-mail I got back;
