Product Description
Tabula Rasa 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. Simplified game interface is complimented by built-in voice chat technology to create a seamless cooperative gaming experience Role-playing game fans will enjoy a game design that focuses more on depth than complexity, with an immersive story and rich character growth driven by player choices. First person shooter fans who crave a richer gaming experience will appreciate a massively multiplayer game that is reactive to player choices and allows for a broad range of character movement. Massively multiplayer online game fans will enjoy a large community to interact with, and frequently updated content to both the game and the storyline All new arrivals begin as Recruits. The early choices recruits make determine their progress

 RIP Tabula Rasa November 26, 2008

"Last November we launched what we hoped would be a ground breaking sci-fi MMO. In many ways, we think we've achieved that goal. Tabula Rasa has some unique features that make it fun and very different from every other MMO out there. Unfortunately, the fact is that the game hasn't performed as expected. The development team has worked hard to improve the game since launch, but the game never achieved the player population we hoped for.
So it is with regret that we must announce that Tabula Rasa will end live service on February 28, 2009.
Before we end the service, we'll make Tabula Rasa servers free to play starting on January 10, 2009.
We can assure you that through the next couple of months we'll be doing some really fun things in Tabula Rasa, and we plan to make staying on a little longer worth your while. For more details about what we are doing for Tabula Rasa players, please click here.
Stay tuned for more information. We thank you for your loyal support of the game and encourage you to take us up on the benefits we're offering Tabula Rasa players.
The Tabula Rasa Team"

This is a pay to play game. You have to start paying as soon as you get online. What a genius buisness model. You start by giving them your credit card and like a taxi the minutes buzz by on a meter. You are about $30 in before you get past level one. I think you should just burn dollar bills instead. I would rather pay $60 1 x for a new game then 100's for some subscription.

Tabula Rasa is an interesting combination of first-person shooter and a role-playing game with character advancement similar to many fantasy games. This package includes the install DVD and a lengthy user manual. Reading the tiny type in the manual will save you dozens of hours of trial and error. I advise that you download the manual from the Tabula Rasa site and read it on-screen -- the type is much more readable!
I thought buying this package would save me from having to download the 3+GB client software, but nope, as soon as I installed from the DVD I then had to download the upgrade to the latest version which was, you guessed it -- 3+GB!
Tabula Rasa September 29, 2008
Excellent Game. I had a lot of fun playing it, altho' most of the time I was playing solo. Not as easy to get into some groups for things in this game as it is to get into groups for some other games.
I still had a very very fun time playing it and I definitely recommend at least trying it out if you haven't.
Not what it was at launch, and that's a good thing. September 20, 2008

A very well done game, contrary to what a lot of people have said. Most of the negative opinions are either based on the beta product or the launch version. It's been patched, expanded, and polished. I really disliked this game -- a lot -- at launch. As a gamer I can say this is easily one of the best games out there. 4.99 plus 30 days? I mean, come on, how can you not try it? Give it a shot...an exceptional game that has come a long, long way.
