Looks like Richard Garriott, the Executive Producer for Tabula Rasa at NCSoft, finally got his wish and is making his way to the ISS.  A great personal achievement.  Too bad his last game will not experience the same kind of achievement.

I recently turned down a job at NCSoft here in Austin and it looks like that was a good decision.  It was a hard choice though. I mean to work on MMORPGs world-wide sounded so appealing but the gaming industry is a cut throat sector, plus where I am at now has me on a project I am DETERMINED to see completed.

Congrats Mr. Garriott, I hope your journey will be a safe one.  Now that you got your dream, what will be next for you?  Another MMORPG? God I hope not, lately there are just not enough room in gamers’ mind for another game.

I had an opportunity to join the server team at NCsoft here in Austin. Though the salary negotiation did not work out, we left on great terms. I just read that the Austin studio may be shutting down. I wish Matt’s NOC team well. That was a killer group of guys with a down-to-earth leader.
