Tabula Rasa shuts down

The online Sci-Fi MMORPG Tabula Rasa, developed by NG-Soft, is about to close down. I dowloaded it when it became free back in January and gave it a whirl - I found it to be a pretty darn good game, even though I'm not that much of an MMO person, the Sci-fi elements appealed to me. Interestingly enough though, Apparently at 8:00PM (us time) last night, the Bane (the main enemy force in the game) launched an all out offensive on all the Allied forces, setting up for an epic battle that would presumably climax with some kind of apocalyptic 'splosion (see the source below). All game members were invited to join in the epic battle, but unfortunately, and perhps ironically, I un-installed the client a few days ago, and even if I were to install it again, I'd have to patch it again - and thanks to the wonderful magic of 256k, that wouldn't finish before the game ends...
