I didn't know Tabula Rasa was going to be shut down until I saw this thread in General Discussion:

Here's the announcement on

On February 28, 2009, Tabula Rasa will be shutting down its servers, and as of January 10, 2009, the game will be free to play.
To thank our loyal Tabula Rasa fans we've prepared a little closing down gift. Any active paying player as of 10:00 AM Pacific Time on November 21st, 2008 will be eligible for all of the following:
- 3 free months of City of Heroes including digital client
- 3 free months of Lineage II including digital client
- Aion beta access (coming soon)
- Aion pre-order access (available in 2009)
- 1 free month of Aion including digital client (available in 2009)
These offers are limited to active paying players. Subscribers who join or reactivate canceled accounts after 10:00 AM Pacific Time on November 21st, 2008 will not be eligible.
If you are an eligible Tabula Rasa player, you'll be receiving notification directly from NCsoft in the near future with information on how to collect these thank you gifts.
If you are a player that has pre-paid for Tabula Rasa subscription time beyond January 10, 2009, you will be refunded for that pre-paid time by February 28, 2009.
Should you have further questions please don't hesitate to contact our customer support team at Help | PlayNC.
From everyone at NCsoft, we'd like to thank you for the support and enthusiasm you've dedicated to Tabula Rasa over the last year.

The 'Pre-order access' mentioned is meant in a relatively ambiguous way. While it's not unreasonable to expect a pre-order programme of some sort, we haven't finalized any related plans yet. In other words, we don't have any additional information on it right now.
The 'digital client' is not something I can confirm right now, but you can expect as with most of our games that Aion at some point will be made available for digital download.

I hope that clears some things up for you guys.
