NCSoft to cut jobs in European office, Tabula Rasa to be shut down?

Tabula Rasa going into Oblivion?

NCSoft has decided to stop work on the unannounced MMOG that was being developed in their European office in Brighton and as a result around 50 people over there will get the sack.

According to a number of sources close to the company the move is set to be made following the decision to stop work on the untitled MMO that was being developed there, a game that was announced this time last year when the office underwent significant expansion.

Meanwhile rumours surrounding Tabula Rasa are also flying high: the game may very well be shut down very soon due to poor subscriber numbers.

The game, led by Richard Garriott enjoyed a high profile launch earlier this year, but has failed to capture the imagination of the gaming public, and one source told GamesIndustry.biz a few months ago that the company "would kill for 300,000 subscribers right now," when comparisons were made with CCP's Eve Online.

Sounds like things aren't going too great in Europe for NCSoft...
