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

 GAME CLOSING. DO NOT BUY! December 13, 2008

I bought this game for a steal at something like 96 cents. I was thinking, well this isn't a very well known game, and the idea sounds good. After researching the game, it sounded like a good way to spend some time. The plot was very intriguing.
Only after installing the game, and going online did I find out that they are shutting down all the servers for this game in February 2009, only 2 months after I install it. What a scam. Let us know that the game is closing BEFORE we spend money on a friggin coaster.
 Never got the attention it deserved. December 12, 2008

I'm glad I got the chance to play this game for a few months. The story was great fun and the gameplay was unique to the MMO genre.
The servers are shutting down in February 2009, so check the game website for the latest news. Richard Garriot crafted a wonderful game before departing the development team after a year of live service. The GMs in this MMO have been the most fun to play with and offered the best service I've received in game.
This game is still worth playing and can be played solo.
It was fun while it lasted... December 12, 2008

I really enjoyed this game. End game content was lacking, PvP was not fleshed out as well as I would like but in the end it was a fun MMO - IMO. Exciting combat, nice world design, friendly GM staff & player base, new and interesting game events, and good story arc.
Sadly this game is set to be canceled on Feb 28th 2009. This means you will not be able to play anymore, so keep that in mind if deciding to pick TR up.
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.
