Tabula Rasa State of the Game, and Joystiq thinks Starr Long is a girl

It's the name

Tabula Rasa Producer Starr Long has posted a State of the Game in which he states that the game hasn't grown as fast as they had hoped:

I would be remiss if I don't clarify the matter of rumored "massive layoffs" within NCsoft North America and the Tabula Rasa team. While the game has not taken off as quickly as we had hoped, we also launched in an insanely competitive time frame, with several well-known intellectual properties launching follow up products at the same time. However, the fact of the matter is that we are transitioning from a pre-launch crunch-mode development team to a live service team. This is standard in our industry-you ramp up to launch a game and then ramp down once it's live. This is what we are doing over the next several weeks, and it only affects the Tabula Rasa team.

Hurry up and get some meaningful PvP and PAU's in the game, plzkthx. Joystiq, the paragon of gaming journalism that it is, seems to be a bit gender confused when discussing Starr Long (emphasis mine):

The admission comes almost a month after reports of major financial trouble and layoffs for NCsoft caused by the game. That said, Long does have some good excuses, and she reaffirms that NCsoft is still devoted to seeing the game succeed.

Here's something to help remember Starr is a boy:
