Tabula Rasa adds mech suits in final weeks of operation

The most important element to MMO development and maintenance is also an integral component for comedic exploits --
timing. Here's a sterling example of
bad timing: Noted spaceman Richard Garriott/Lord British's overwhelmingly unpopular
Tabula Rasa, which has about two weeks left before its servers shut down, just
released a patch adding "mech suits" which are available for all classes. It sounds like a neat feature -- one that might have attracted some much-needed attention to the game before it nestled soundly into its death bed.
If you've been intrigued by
Tabula Rasa, but couldn't be hassled to, you know,
purchase it, it's
free to play now. Just don't get too attached -- the game's servers are going down on February 28, at which point
Garriott's final project with NCSoft will have an ironic, though
extremely appropriate moniker.
