Speaking of the Beatles, I picked up their DVD-Audio album "Love" last week. Truly amazing.  |

Fileplanet is giving away Tabula Rasa beta keys to Founder members. If anyone is an interested Founder memeber. I think they're limited. I have the most horrible case of really strong hiccups ever. It's those hard ones that hurt. I've had them before and very nearly turned myself inside out.  |

Part of me wants to play TR.
Part of me wants to ignore it like the outbreak of a bad plague.
It's been in development too long, methinks.

How long has Tabula Rasa been in development? I'm just glad it's not a game that celebrates sameness.

I think four years now. They completely redesigned it about 2 years ago, but there's still total sunk development time and money.
It originally celebrated difference by utilizing a rather recognizable fantasy-inspired setting with some tweaks. Now it's celebrating difference by utilizing a rather recognizable sci-fi inspired setting with some tweaks. Even from the public information it's easy to see there's more that is similar to other games than different. We keep hoping though.

According to Wikipedia over 6 years now (May 2001 was the start). |

Turns out NCSoft DOES want to make a distinction between reporter and player. C'est la vie. Rest of thread will reappear when the "real" NDA drops.

Pre-order boxes are shipping to retail. Among other things lets players get into the game 3 days early. Seems like they're lined up for a late-September launch. No comment on whether that's a good thing. “There is an amazing amount of anticipation for Tabula Rasa’s launch within our development team and the player community,” said Richard Garriott, executive producer. “The player feedback at this point has been extremely helpful and we’re putting the final touches on the game. This pre-order release truly marks the final stages in developing this epic adventure, and since owning the pre-order allows players beta access, it is a great way to try Tabula Rasa out before we launch the game.” I emphasized that because I thought it was interesting they wanted to stipulate the exact source of the anticipation.

You mean Game Intro. A trailer would show some actual gameplay.

Yea, good point. However, it's also a trailer because it's not in the game yet.
oops.

I'm confused by your statement but won't press the issue since this video doesn't affect my decision whether to buy the game or not. If it does for you, then I'm sure there are countless other "game trailers" that are nothing but CGI that I can direct you to. The Bioshock commercial, while not in-game, was a semi-accurate representation of game mechanics though. |

I was disappointed with the trailer or whatever you want to call it.
First and most obvious thing was the Heroine's midriff was not bare although the skin tight light leather armor was appealing.
I give it 6 of 10, because it had a beat you could dance to.

And if the Heroine pranced around with a bare midriff, it would have a dance you could beat to?

Doesn't affect my decision, just a long-standing issue with how information has been flowing about TR. Will explain when the NDA drops. |

It's so easy to get in the beta that it's essentially open now. It's silly that they haven't lifted NDA so we can talk about it. Oh well.

For this reason alone I'm not even going to try it out. People will have to be singing praises to the rafters to get me to do it, because anything kept this quiet this long can't be good. Different? Sure. Good? No. |

After consulting several of her films I can conclusively say it's not her - at no point does a nipple belonging to this fake "Mila" appear, therefore this cannot be Mila Jovich as she has a rider in her contract which states a) she will be served no brown M&Ms and b) her nipple(s) will feature in at least one scene. |
