Tabula Rasa
#9
I was in the beta up until launch. I heard good old Garriots promises until I was about to puke, it was almost as bad as listening to Brad McQuaid's 'Vision'. I was a huge fan of the Ultima series, so I had rather high expectations, but I always wondered when I heard RG (Richard Garriot) talk about his game, if he had actually played it.

Tabula Rasa is anything but revolutionary. There is nothing new there, nothing. I felt the story was shallow and I never had any drive to follow a storyline. The classes didn't seem unique from each other, but there is a possibility this improved between beta and launch (and fixes after) aka miracle patch.

I didn't see anything I would call new or revolutionary. Perhaps the ability to clone your character could be called new, but I don't see it as revolutionary. The quests were mostly the good old 'good out and kill x monsters' types, again nothing revolutionary.

The game will of course appeal to some people and I did wish it well. Just be careful before any purchases. Perhaps try a trial or something before you pay for anything?

Because if space games and shooting up stuff is something you find is fun, there is a chance you will find it more fun than me:)Just be careful and don't put your expectations up just because it is a RG game. And perhaps don't look for the interaction part of the MMO of the game. When the beta ended there was no reason to group up and no reason to bother with other people, because they were just a bother (aka don't kill my quest mob).

Best of luck with it to those that will play it.
