Sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down. NCsoft, publisher of such MMORPGs as Richard Garriot's Tabula Rasa, seems to have suffered a slump in sales and profits during the last quarter of 2007.

Despite the setback, company executives aren't looking down. More statistically significant news follows after the jump.

NCsoft is showing no signs of slowing down even after the big release of Tabula Rasa, and with NCsoft America under Chris Chung's management, massive games are inbound. In his latest interview, Chung talked about making PS3 titles, improving customer experience, and extending NCsoft's domination in Japan. Check out the full article for more details.

The older brother of Lord British, NCsoft North America CEO Robert Garriott, is leaving his post to pursue the MMORPG giant's global business development and planning side of things. Check out the full article for more details.

Today we have another "Screenshot of the Week" from the upcoming NCSoft MMORPG, Tabula Rasa. This particular screenshot features a squad of AFS soldiers getting themselves sufficiently psyched to infiltrate a Bane Prison Complex. Check it out below:

Strategy and cooperation are just a couple of the key skills that players need in Tabula Rasa. With each mission squad capable of having up to six players who can share mission objectives between them, communication will play an important factor in turning back the Bane tide.

Tabula Rasa is expected to ship Fall 2007 in Europe and North America.
