NCsoft Announces Launch Date for Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa
Gaming legend's widely anticipated online space adventure to launch October 19th
Thursday 6th September/...NCsoft® Europe, the world’s leading developer and publisher of online computer games, announced today that Richard Garriott’s Tabula Rasa® has reached gold master status and will launch commercial service in Europe and North America on October 19, 2007. Pre-order customers will begin their three-day head start on October 16.
One of the most anticipated PC games of the year, Tabula Rasa is gaming legend Richard Garriott’s newest title, which combines a vast, persistent game world and rich storyline with fast paced action. Set in a near-future science fiction storyline, players create characters that must fight to save humanity against hostile alien enemies while trying to gain control of the universe. The game introduces several innovative elements to massively multiplayer online (MMO) games, including a Character Cloning System™ that allows players to explore different character classes without having to create a new character, and dynamic battlefields where players experience the frenetic action of combat in an ongoing war.
“It has been a heck of a journey,” said Richard Garriott, the game’s Executive Producer. “The fact that we are getting ready for the final stretch towards launch feels great, but it is also just the beginning. I think we’ve managed to do something truly unique and I hope that the gaming community likes it as much as we do. Now, I am looking forward to a really fun ‘end of beta event’ for our incredible testers, and focusing development on new planets and innovations for future expansions of Tabula Rasa.”
The standard edition box of Richard Garriott’s Tabula Rasa will be available at major retailers at an expected retail price of £29.99 / €44.99 and at the PlayNC® store (https://secure.plaync.com/cgi-bin/Store.pl?language=en-gb). Customers will be able to purchase the recently announced Limited Collector’s Edition box from major retailers at an expected retail price of £49.99 / €69.99. Both products include the first month of online game play. After the first month, players will be charged a monthly subscription fee of £8.99 / €12.99. The game is rated 16+ by PEGI (www.pegi.info).

There is...it's called teleportation. From my time in the military I don't recall getting a personal motorcycle to drive around.

"Pants! Pants! Pants!"
it's not bad but ..you'd think a game set in the future would have vehicles ..I'm not even asking for mechs or battlecruisers ...ANYTHING would have been acceptable ..even a freaking hoverboard ..really it spoils the setting ...especially since there so much land to traverse ..just cant shake the feeling while running that in the future their must be a form of transportation that's better than just your legs
I just received a beta invitation in my inbox this morning. Doh!
The NDA no longer pops up when you launch the game, still no official word it's gone though.

the early beta was a lot of fun
Yes. I had a lot more fun in the early beta than what the game has now become.
The game is a lot more polished that 90% of the MMO's that go to reproduction.
Even the early beta was a lot of fun and it didn't have many of the more advanced stuff like crafting implemented. The game ran very smooth, no major server crashes, I never lost my loot etc.

As most have said...it's way too early in development to say.
Potential? Sure! But not there yet.
And not before October 16th.

Seriously, I thought people would learn from Vanguard - give it another 6 months and this could be a must buy, but not yet ...
There's a reason the NDA is still in place on this game.... I look forward to it being lifted.
I'm dying for a SOLID Sci-Fiction MMO game....Is this any good?
Any word on a open beta of this yet?
This one is a definate try before I buy jobby.

I'd love to try this game, but last time I tried to sign up on palyNCs website for a ga,me, it just kept telling me I was typing my password wrong. eventually I gave up. I bet thousands of people have the same issue, and they wont respond to tech support emails about it. dickheads.
The sound you hear is my jaw dropping.
Edit: I don't see this posted on NCSoft's site yet. Perhaps they're just slow?
