Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa

Tabula Rasa(tm) is a massively multiplayer online action game that takes you into the heat of battle at the frontlines of an epic war between a xenophobic alien race bent on galactic conquest and the coalition of rebel soldiers who've traveled across the galaxy to stop them.

Combining fast-paced action with the immersion of a role-playing game, Tabula Rasa takes the player on an intergalactic adventure where the individual has an opportunity to significantly impact the pace of battle on a global scale. Players enter the game as rebel soldiers wielding a variety of futuristic weapons, potent demolitions and the mystical power of "Logos." It is up to each individual to use their stealth, ingenuity and skill to assist a ragtag coalition of rebels in their efforts to stop an enemy known for its intelligence and unyielding determination to enslave the Universe.

Am in Closed Beta at the moment, but due to NDA can't say much of it But this game plain rocks... I do think it will be the surprise hit of 2007

post some screenies

Is it MMOFPS? or a combination of MMORPG +FPS?

Ive played Neocron 2 and Face of Mankind before.... dont know if it have the same genre/gameplay

NDA mate... means no screenshots!

Its MMORPG by right, but the gameplay has elements of FPS. Lots of shooting but not 100% FPS, if you look at the preview video you can see lasers somehow slide to hit you even if you have moved out of its path.

I can only talk about information that NCSoft has already released to the public, so that I don't infringe the NDA

There's something about it in this month's PCGamer Msia.

And Link, come back to eve lah...

Tabula Rasa is a good game

NC soft always created great game ... if exclude auto assault.. lolx...

omg man, EVE is like the slowest paced game ever... Staring at my ship's ass as it drones on gate after gate is really not my cuppa tea Tried going back twice already so... nah.

TR = Fast-paced = GOOD!

Oh and if anyone is interested in this game (seriously interested, as in you will at least try Open Beta), put up a hand and I'll put it up. If there is enough interest, we should start a Malaysian clan

not laggy for a fps? average ping?
will it be p2p?

- its not an FPS
- Yes its P2P

oops, thought u said FPS. looking at the graphic, it seem like we need a pretty high end system for this game eh?

Hmm sure, when is the open beta....

Closed beta need a ncsoft account right?

Ive like this type of game before (Neocron 2), so might be trying this for sure.

Right now im thinking either to play warhammer online(coming soon) or Lineage2 SEA. Two of them is P2P, so i dont mind if this is also the same as long as its under my budget

I said its a MMORPG by right, but has the gameplay feel of FPS. Its kinda hard to explain, you'll have to try it to believe it lol



Invites for closed beta are sent out to random NCSoft master accounts, so get one its free anyway. Open beta would be a few weeks before launch which is scheduled for October.

I'm also looking at AoC and WAR But for now TR has me hooked

Some gameplay video at gamespot

It does seem like a fast paced gameplay. Cool

hmm.. I wonder how Tabula Rasa fares against Planetside...

how bout against granade espada ?

haha..they aren't exactly in the same genre, so i don't think you can compare Tabula Rasa against Granado Espada.

Wha? That was totally random. Besides, comparing Grenade whatever- with Tabula Rasa is like comparing heaven and earth.

I can't believe someone actually said Granado Espada and Tabula Rasa in one sentence.

This is Richard Garriott we are talking about! The father of MMOs! He was the first to make an MMO game and it was called Ultima Online!

Unfortunately, I get confused between Mass Effect and Tabula Rasa from time to time ... LoL

im a guild wars player . so i might see thru this FPS game

It is much different with Planetside. Since TR is more in PvE side while Planetside is full PvP. Classes wise, Planetside have more flexibility while TR is more linear.

P/S : you removed me from your MSN list... grr @ moo
