  • this gama sux

  • wicked! is thsi game on now?

  • It is the best game I have ever played,lots of instances ,sieges good old times

  • :( it's too sad this game is gone. It looks cool. Personally, they should have started out at lower fees, not made it P2P as soon as it came out. Maybe a free public beta test and then made it P2P... don't say "the gaming company sucks." It's harder than you know.

  • wow, you know a gaming company sucks when you charge 15 dollars a month and STILL Cant manage to break even

  • @chriscos123 Doesn't mean the company sucks, it was a good game, just not in everyone's taste.

  • the thing is that most games that are p2p fail not because they are crap but because p2p game like WOW are just alot better when it comes down to it so this should have gone f2p and had member option most mmos that so that get more people playing it

  • Dark Millennium Online follow the same gameplay standards from this game.

  • sarah morrison is hot

    

  • Comment removed

  • I miss it. They should really regear the game as a single player game.. it's got plenty of content and a lot of the stuff was solo-able (or can be adjusted to be so). Add in the ability for four friends to co-op and i'd buy it (again).

  • Whoah,well,this game sucks..Maybe it was nice on the time it was shutted down.Anyway,new Tabula Rasa with awesome graphics and more on PvP is Global Agenda,I am buying it right now,hope it will not fail me. ^^

  • This didnt last long, did it?

    I almost bought it. Glad i didnt invest to much time in a toon there then :p

  • is this a online game???

  • this game have day and night cycles?

  • BRING IT BACK 

  • I really Miss Tebula =( one of the best games but cut short

  • @zozanday They didn't advertise it Well and plus no item Shop, games like this should be put into free to play with itemshop n they should have some rare creative things such as tactical smoke nades or mines players can set up against other players during pvp GvG and or against monsters. The main reason why this game failed is because it's just basically PvE, If they had a PvP system, I guess i never got involve given the little time left before the game servers went down. :(

  • @coshbane1 I Promise, If I win The Lottery Tonight, I will Look to it that Tabula Rasa get's signed to me and reopen, but before the servers are back online, I will seek to it that it becomes free to play and managed properly, with Mech Mounts and PvP and Pk system Added to It. yes am talking about going through the whole scripts to make those eager Tabula Rasa Fans dreams come True :)

  • I truthfully believe This is the perfect time to reopen Tabula Rasa back to the gaming community. Back then players were into elves and Orcs, now they Want a different whole new type of pc gaming. They should add an aircraft bought or crafted by players, or some kind of Zoid Mech mount, or they can put dat as an Itemshop item and much other creative stuff i thought of that can by put into the game before that guy sold us out to go into space :( U failed us. I love this Game called Tabula Rasa

  • I still have a near-mint condition copy of the Colector's Edition of this game that's never been used. Would it ever be worth something, or should I throw it out?

  • fail boooooooooooooo

  • Why do they cancelled this game guys This game is So Funny.

  • wow people are comparing this game with others.. if you wanna have a duscussion, go to any forum xD

  • Dark Millenium.....there is only WAR......there is only WSARHAMMER 40K!

  • this games is KAkA!!

  • Loving the bear. Of all the BSG soundtrack I think this one best suits the show.

  • looks like red faction; gorilla lol

  • it looks so awesome.. i never got the chance to try it out. i wish it hadnt shut down

  • I just dont waste my time with f2p mmos, with no income they lack content and quality. After playing a p2p you cant go back.

  • I miss this game :(

  • Booooring...-.-

  • somebody should make a free tabula rasa now when its shut down

  • why this this game fail? looks pretty respectable to me.

  • Boring, complicated, linear, you dont feel thats an mmo,

  • if this had been a free to play game it would have been successful

  • If this had been a free to play game there would have been no method of sustaining acceptable levels of income and they would have shut down faster than they did.

    ITT children who never took a course in economics.

  • a itemshop model is still better.

    I meant if this game had been free it had been more successful

  • @Lankist *cough* premium content purchases*cough*..............­.oh wait.....never mind

  • @vidmuncher

    Would you buy them?

    If no, same problem.

    If yes, it isn't free.

  • @Lankist thus the "oh nevermind".....the kicker to any requests we had of the company backing this is that they need to be able to make money to support themselves and the game. You HAD to pay $15 to even play the game. Premium content isn't a requirement and is going to have higher costs as a result. I'm totally with you

  • @vidmuncher

    Lotro now got their f2p and their little store.

    Its even more expensive to play now as you want all the shit in that store for your chars.

    Not a bad idea really.

    But when they start to sell stupid stuff like "Fall injury imunity tokes" its just become a bit of a joke.

    Besides you see the store button every where now.

  • Think about this for a moment.

    Tabula Rasa as it was had 100% of its playerbase giving them $15 every month and they still could not afford to keep the servers running.

    How could adding a ton of players (i.e. bandwidth use) and taking in a fraction of the profit they did before possibly help?

    They ran out of money. Taking less money cannot help them.

  • Dude.... 2moons, silkroad, 9dragons, cabal online..... The list is endless. And they are still updating and patching their game cuz they have enormous player base... How do they make money? Cash shop!!!! 80% of high lvls in these mmos use cash shops (Even I use it in 2moons).

  • Is there anypoint buying this game now then? Are all servers shutdown

  • @Lankist they did pretty well with the servers up until the people got to lvl 50 and found out that there was nothignn more to do ... thats what failed the game ...

  • @Lankist F2P games use micro transactions to make money. They frequently give out new content which you have to pay for, like the free patches you get in P2P MMOs. They also sell temporary buffs and other stuff. This would perhaps bring in alot of new players, which means more money... So, how was this game? Was it skill based or stat based? Was it PvE or PvP focused?

  • @PsychoT1m

    Those games are also designed, from the ground up, to be manageable with that sort of profit model. This game was designed specifically to be subscription based, and implementing a system of microtransactions would not only have outraged the community but also broken key components of the game.

    TR was pretty fun if you had a group of friends to play it with. You could PvP a little, but PvE with a team was the focus.

  • @Lankist DnD, LOTRO and HoN all went free.

  • @Lankist no you are wrong, lots of games outthere turned to F2P and improved their profit by a LOT.

  • @LhynnBlue Yeah, I agree with you! (XD)

    A good example is Dungeons & Dragons Online. The creators conffirmed that now they gain much more than when the game was P2P.

    It's a shame that Tabula Rasa didn't got F2P. Now that I see those videos, my desire to play this game just increases! In my opinion, it was the best futurist MMORPG out there! (*_*)

  • @Lankist They ran out of money, cause its not free to play, no one wanted to play it cause its not free to play, means less profit from advertisements and other crap you can get from players if they play. The game is good though

  • @Lankist servers aren't the main costs, development debt is.

    You run up HUGE debts designing a game (100+ coders x $100k per year x 3 years = $30 million+) and if you can't keep up with debt repayments to the bank then your company is bankrupt. And debts get paid first, before servers.

    They needed more customers on board sooner, even if it costs more in servers.

  • @Treblaine moron, coders don't get paid 100k a year lol.

  • @AngryCrowTakesFlight What?!! Coders don't earn 100k per year?! YOU LIED TO ME, MICHAEL PACHTER! WHY DID YOU LIE!?!

    ... I should never have trusted gametrailers.

    (Seriously, how much DO they earn on average? And of a 3 year development, how much of that time are coders employed?)

  • @Treblaine 100k a year? i don't give a shit what michael pachter says, he just predicts shit. he said kinect was gonna cost over $250 lol. it's nice to see game developers living in mansions and diriving around in ferraris isn't it?

  • @AngryCrowTakesFlight So HOW MUCH, remember, less than $100k not less than £100k

  • @AngryCrowTakesFlight Actually, I looked for myself and reputable sources like Games Developer (Magazine) state their poll revealed average earnings of $95,300, from $74,600 at entry level and to the more senior earning $125,700 annually.

  • @Lankist Richard Garret Funded this operation with his own money, And earned a profit to go to space. NC Soft and other company shut him down before he was able to go up to space but profits from the game where his enough to take him up, The game wasnt made to keep going.

  • @Lankist They didn't ran out of money. This game was hosted by NC Soft. It's one of the world biggest online gaming companies along with SOE and Blizzard. They DID not ran out of money and I'm pretty sure they still made even a small profit with the game's subscriptions. Taking Tabula Rasa offline was for the sole purpose of making room for projects that bring in even MORE money. NC Soft got greedy and THAT'S what killed Tabula Rasa. No playerbase nor lack of money. Simply greed.

  • pve looks so easy

  • sucks when good mmos shutdown but you still then have the horrible crap mmos out there that thrive longer..

  • agreed.

  • Tabula is dead....

  • It's looking good

  • It is free?

  • iz diz game free yo

  • its Dead

  • i have a 36 engineer i hardly even play him any more the game was bugy as hell had to talk to a gm every time i did a quest never gave me credit

  • I heard there are still some private servers running?

  • Comment removed

  • this shouldnt hav shut down theres alot worse mmos still out there

  • yes.i had only gotten to lvl 9 but this was the best and most fun GAME not just MMO that ive ever playd and yet games like runescape is still out there because people dont like to have lives or pay just $10 more for a game that could be $20 more by how good it was.

  • yeh i loved tabula rasa and i only played it once! They could at least have had made one that you could play offline so you could still play on it :/

  • this is mill. times better than rune scape i wish this was still here instead of that shit fest runescape

  • Hey pinky. The game did shut down, but I see avaible clients for this game. Is it free, or is the game completely shut down? Thanks man

  • It's completely Shut down.

  • thnx man

  • OMG! u r kidding, its shut down? i really wanted to play this game.

  • This is an RPG for me. you have to aim by ur self, not an freaking bot, this is the way you show the skill in the games, instead of aimbotting arrows etc..

  • i want to play this game. That's too bad that the server are down. Its something else like elves and dwarfs. (lotor, wow, daoc... )

    SWG at the begin was a real fun to but now its crap. (great work Soe!)

    That's a real shame that there is no other (good) game in this genre.

  • there will be called mechscape, coming in Q2 or Q3 2009

    for more info visit mechscapeworld.c0m

  • cool, thank you!! It looks good!

  • NC is makin this a free2play

  • Hey I was just watching this and it seems cool, I'm currently downloading...is it worth it? I mean is the game good cause It seems like it

  • It is shutting down the 28th of February. Don't get too comfortable.

  • is this game PVE or PVP?

  • Game : AwEsOmE --- Player : AwEsOmE --- Character : He can be Master Chief :D

  • I hate when people compare games like this to halo

  • @Hypn0tyz3d Yeah it's not even FPS lol

  • oh then.. fuck my game will lag A LOT (512 kbps :/)

  • huh... this game is like the combination of exteel with ... dungeon runners... but its PRETTY BIG FILEEEEE 2 GB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gosh its big.... im gonna test it... (obviusly play it cuz it was a pain in the ass the download) and woaaa dammit this thing will be awesome... just another thing, in what resolutions in can be? i have anotebook and i run dungeon runners in fullscreen (it can be as small as the screen) and exteel (cant modify the size, its laptop size!) plaync rox!

  • dis game is laggy

  • What is this LAGG ? :(

  • huh... lag is ... u know when u get stuck in an online game

  • i have a WERY SLOW internet connect. (1 MB) but i never see this lagg before on my pc ... :(

  • DUUUDE!!! 1MB is sooo NOT slow!

  • here a another end of bandwitch (50 GB/sec) or LAN, or wtf is the name of thie ...

  • This is not bad, but another game from the same company is alot better, also F2P: Exteel!

  • TR wasn't f2p from the start..the servers are shutting down in February and that's why it's f2p now...It was a p2p game initially

  • i have downloaded this game but it wont work

    when i press Play buttom a error comes up and it says "Tabula rasa has encountered a problem. We are sorry for this inconvenience.

    we have prepared an error report wich will help us improve tabula rasa. we will tread this report as confidential" please help me so i can play this game.

  • if u have vista try playing it as administrator

  • i just downloaded it and i'm playing it f2p D:

  • its comming free to play  soon

  • Is this game closing down?

  • Yup, 28th of feb servers are being shut down.

  • forever? and why ?

  • the game wasn't as popular as they thought it would be.

  • oh god i bought the collectors edition for $70 and they close down servers next mont

  • When did you buy it?

  • last month

  • i cant understand its closing it looks so fun

  • It was a really fun game, but its major flaw was in the fact that you could solo most everything, and when you actually needed a squad of players it was balls hard to find one.

  • Not just that.

    It was just not well known enough tbh.

    WoW had big marketing, LOTRO has the name, WAR has the name, AoC had marketing. GW had advertising to pay for it, TR was a monthly sub (like WoW/LOTRO/WAR/AoC) but it didn't have enough advertising, it wasn't well known at all and it's player base just died.

    It's a real shame, was a brilliant game.

  • in first 4 second i decided lets download it!

  • well at least stargate worlds is coming out maybe it will be do better.

  • no it wont you can say its Tabula Rasa 2 -_-

  • this game is closing down feb 28th

  • lolol bye TR

  • Actually now it's free to play.

  • Why the balls was this marked spam?

  • if its free why does it say buy now.. on its original site T.T

  • why is goin to be cancel?

    xD

  • because it didnt make much money.

  • i like this game maybe ill start playing again

  • ok WTF! my brother downloaded this and when we make a character all we see is fog....wtf is wrong?

  • LOL!!! i downloaded this game...registred for trial, and when i was to play...BOOM!!!! my graphic card dows not meet the requirements:((( damn shit fucking pcs.

  • HAHA!

  • To belive this bullshit replaced Auto Assault.

    Fuck you, NCsoft, you raped and burned the best MMO and tried to make up for it with this.

  • LOL auto assault...please tell me you didnt actually like that POS.

  • If you hate it or not, compared to this bullshit, its much, much, MUCH, better.

  • i recomend playing exteel instead

    1. made by the same people

    2. its free

    3. its just ..... awesome!

    :) and if any of you guys in another country cant register for exteel then subscribe to me then send me a msg saying the desired username and password then i will make u an account. :)

  • Looks like Starship Troopers.

    Bugs everywhere!

  • sry...is this game free?

  • Fifteen bucks a month.

  • Can you like choose between melee and range ?

  • Yes. There are two close-quarters classes, spies with swords and guardians which use what amounts to a Stargate Staff Weapon.

  • Guys if u die in tabula is it really that you loose all lvls

  • You do not lose any levels or experience when you die. The only penalty is about 10% condition off of all of the equipment you were wearing.

  • stop sending bad comments if u dont like dont watch,he plays the way he wants and how well he can ok

  • Fuck You, Sucka :-)

  • QUESTION PLEASE RESPOND ASAP: Is this like Guild Wars were you follow a story or like WoW were you lvl and acheive a certain lvl. (in WoW's cake lvl 70)

  • You level up through 50 levels through missions and instances, like WoW.

  • in WoW's cake?

  • Fuck cake. Pie is better.

  • I gave up on trying to full install/download/acquire account that actually allows you to log in the game....therefore i hate this game. But it looks cool.

  • do you reccomend i buy it?

  • wow nice game though but its not free you need to buy the cd but is ther someway to get it free plzz help.

  • Buy it, you lazy shit.

  • i'm poor not like you guys your rich!!!so don't blame me

  • Then you don't get the game. Fuck off.

  • you are a asshole

  • Your mom doesn't seem to mind.

    Oh snap! Need some ointment for that burn, bitch?

  • wow your so cool your my idol get a life.

  • lol

  • u really are an asshole, stop makin vids if you are such a dick

  • Your mom is a dick.

    Surprise. You actually have two dads.

  • ........Hmmm....

  • Win Troll is win

  • lol nearly all MMORPG's cost..

  • Do you get to fly around in ships and shit like that?

  • No.

  • oooo

    This game looks like an fps/rpg :o

  • terrible

  • Your mom is terrible.

  • i got this game today installing it now i hope i enjoy it it remidns me alot of Hellgate london from this vid

  • dang nice armor dude

  • is this game like WOW? because in WOW its like every 1 is running around every where or is it like guild wars where u get a seperate area once u leave town?

  • There are world maps, similar to WoW, in which everyone shares the same world, and within those maps there are instances, in which the game loads your own, private mission map for you and your squad.

    Most missions take place on the main, shared map, however the tougher, and more rewarding missions take place within instances, in which there is no backup.

  • Do many people actually play this, because from what i've heard there's hardly any people playing and I really wana play but I don't wanna be playing an offline MMORPG XD I want people!

  • Yeah, I hate un-populated games. One time I played Deicide and there was like 5 people on at once. I like games with thousands.

  • is this game playable on mac?

  • No.

  • do you haft to play monthly or weekly to play this? i saw it when i was going to start up exteel and i wondered is it free to download this and do i haft to pay weekly or monthly

  • Monthly.

  • how much is it monthly?

  • nice Battlestar Galactica music to go with it :)

  • Ugh.. is it just me, or do you too have the little jump every 3 seconds while running in this game? It'll do like a quick half-second skip all the time as long as you're moving.. hard to tell from the youtube vid, but by the looks of it you do. What the hell is that? I know it can't be my computer because I was able to play Medal of Honor airborne on decent settings without lag.. and LOTRO with all settings maxed. I even tried putting the game on the lowest settings and it still did it..

  • do you have to pay a monthly fee like wow?

  • Yes.

  • question: the zaping gun is that unlimited ammo or not? and do i have to make room for the game is that a good idead or what :)

  • The electric rifle is simply an elemental variation of the standard rifle. All weapons come in several varieties, from normal ballistics to flamethrowing grenade launching staff weapons.

    All weapons require ammunition, aside from the Sword used by the Spy profession and the Staff used by the Guardian profession. Ammunition is bought from vendors around the world at varying prices and qualities.

    I like the game personally. It's good for those of us who want to jump in quick and get out clean.
