Tabula Rasa Pre-Orders Open Up

I have mixed feelings towards Tabula Rasa, because the final game is -nothing- at all like the original screenshots. When a game goes through such a drastic transformation, it has to make you wonder how well it will fare when all said and done. Luckily, RPG guru Richard Garriott is the man behind the game, so it can’t be that bad.

NCsoft has just opened pre-orders for the game, which releases on October 2, and with it comes a slew of benefits. First, you get a full three-day head start on the live servers. Add to that, you get a code to unlock bonus in-game content, exclusive Shell Bot or Pine-Ock pets, two exclusive emotes (*sweet*) and of course, beta access.

Richard Garriott’s Tabula Rasa is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game that takes you, the player, into lush forest planets, volcanic moons, and exotic alien civilizations. Face off against powerful xenophobe soldiers, armored mechanoids, and vicious predators! Use a wide range of weapons and unique LOGOS powers to help the Allied Free Sentients (AFS) in their desperate fight against extinction. Tabula Rasa combines a vast, persistent game world and ongoing storyline with fast-paced action, resulting in a striking new approach to the design of multiplayer online games.
