Fan community sites are still in operation and some intend to stay open indefinitely. The largest fan community for Tabula Rasa, Planet TR, will change its name to "The Planet" and shift focus to fou sci-fi themed MMOs: Star Wars: The Old Republic, Stargate Worlds, Star Trek Online and Earthrise. NCSoft has sent Planet TR a large amount of concept art that it will host in a gallery titled: "The Art of Tabula Rasa". Planet TR has archived its Tabula Rasa forum discussions for future reference.
I asked the creator and administrator of Planet TR for more details about their plans, and he responded:
"When the shutdown of Tabula Rasa was announced in November a number of community members expressed concern over the future of PlanetTR. It didn't take us very long to decide that it would be a terrible waste to to pack it in and lose this amazing community of players so we've chosen to stay open and shift our focus to other games. After polling the community members to determine what new games they were most interested in we had them vote on which of those games would make up our core focus going forward. Though we would happily cover the popular fantasy genre in MMOs if the community asked for it, they chose to have us stick with sci-fi games by choosing Star Wars: The Old Republic, Star Trek Online, Stargate Worlds & Earthrise as our new core games. In an effort to be welcoming to players that may not be interested in those particular games we do plan to have sections devoted to other PC Games as well as Console & Table Top games. Where PlanetTR began as a fan site devoted solely to Tabula Rasa, we are hoping to transition into an all-around community site under our new identity of The Planet.
The only other thing I feel strongly about being mentioned is the effort we make to ensure the site is as welcoming as possible to players and developers alike. We feel very strongly about ensuring trolling and flaming are dealt with as quickly as possible because no one wants to be on a forum where excessive negativity runs rampant. That doesn't mean we don't allow negative posts, we just ask that if members have something negative to say they do so in a constructive manner and keep their focus on issues, not people."
The transition to "The Planet" has been completed, though many members are still sharing memories and nostalgic screenshots from their Tabula Rasa gameplay. It will probably be some time before the focus of the site shifts more to other Sci-Fi MMOs.
