    Tabula Rasa

    http://www.gametrailers.com/player/24516.html

    I heard about this game god knows how long ago it was in a book I read about Lord British.

    I applied for the beta but didn’t get it.

    It was nice seeing this video it looks like a nice branched off the swords and shield mmo's

    Anyone else going to try this game out?

    Re: Tabula Rasa

    I had been playing the beta on and off but I stopped a few weeks ago. It seems decently fun but they have a ton of stuff to work out still and the big problems seemed to stay at each patch. The biggest one was a bug where after a seemingly random amount of time you'd just start to lag out and had to completely close the client and reenter. If you were in an instance, you'd fail all the missions inside, and if you were doing it with a team they'd have to send someone out to get you (you still might miss some quests if mobs are dead) or completely restart the instance. That's what killed it for me, was around at least for 5 patches (once a week).

    I don't even know if I should have said that because of the NDA but I assume they'll get something that big worked out by release >.>

    Re: Tabula Rasa

    i beta'd it as well and well... the leveling is really slow. it was fun at first because it was a different experience but overall it just didn't feel like a solid game. the hit detection was pretty much non-specific, you shot, you hit, which honestly playing a bunch of shooters on pc, i'd like to be able to dodge and have to aim myself, but to each his own.

    overall i'd say the beta was fun, but i dont plan on picking up the game.

    I mean, UO was so damn good for it's time.

    I'm gonna try it when it comes out of beta.

    Try looking around Gamespot...I signed up for their beta and got a key that same night (11/3). Not sure if they're still doing that though. I played for 2 nights and didn't like it, so if you can't get it working you can PM me and have my info

    I played the beta. It has potential to be a great game... but it's probably gonna end up another Vanguard. There are too many bugs right now, and the graphics engine isn't fully optimized imo... and it's coming out in a few weeks. Too bad. I'm getting sick of the fantasy genre, would be nice to have a decent sci-fi mmo (EVE is spreadsheets in space)

    I tried the beta as well. At first it was kinda fun and different, but after a couple hours when the novelty wore off there wasn't anything about the game that had staying power. If I wanted a sci-fi grind fest I'd have stuck with PSU.

    Although, I must admit I do like the radar they use for TR (and GW too) where it has arrows pointing towards quest objectives.

    I wish some company would try to just take the best elements of some of these MMOs and work on a way to combine them rather than either cloning WoW or reinventing everything.
