fuck...I so miss Tabula Rasa even though Shield Drones were lame. If they re-released TR and the box said "Tabula Rasa: Same Damn Thing You Played The Last Time You Played It" I would buy it again for 60 dollars and pay 15 dollars a month. There were things I hated about it, but holy smokes no game since comes close to the grand scale and sense of purpose TR had for me.
I only came into the game after it went free to play. I must say that I found the game to be refreshing. It felt nice to learn about a universe that wasn't already an established IP. Perhaps this is one of the reasons it failed and this would be unfortunate. I do wish that I had joined earlier.
Someone needs to come out with another third person/fps mmo like this. I'm tired of fantasy mmo's like WoW and all of the other games that are limited to older weapons and not guns. I want an mmo with guns. I did play planetside for a while when it first came out, it was awesome for a bit but got really repetitive. A constant territory war.
thank you for posting this vid. Brings back good memories for me.
I played this game from May 2007 to the end. I ended up with level 50 toons for all classes. Ncsoft gave me CE edition of Aion for free plus 1 month free to their other mmorpg's due to their cancelation of TR.
For me, this game was the best Ncsoft game out there. I would still be subbed right now if they didnt pull the plug.
At the end of the day folks, there is little reason to get nostalgiac about TR. It was such an epically failed game that it was not only cancelled within the first year but Richard Garriott was asked to leave the company. Otherwise known as being quietly fired for wasting all that money on the game. The game may have succeeded with another year of polishing, but that just shows how flawed it was to begin with. I was in the late beta and even then I could see it wasn't going to go well.
I'm interested in what exactly this game has failed to do for you. I played through and maxed out a spy and exobiologist. Sure, there were some flaws and bugs, but they were like every other games bugs. Is it because of public disclosure on Richard Garriots "forced resignation" that you find a loathing for this game? Sorry, don't mean to come off as pompous or ignorant, i just really want to know why people see this game in such a bad light cause i don't. Maybe I'm missing something?
If you have not play many MMOs then you would not really know any better. The game itself was tediously repetative with limited teaming options, missions were completely devoid of any significance and in general the game was of poor quality. At best TR was below average.
If you disliked it so much why are you here commenting on it, people who are here obviously liked the game. I was here due to playing aion and realizing how much the mobs there reminded me of the Thrax.
TR has something that most mmo´s right now do not have
a great atmosphere and a unique class system , this game was awesome compared to games like WoW or LotR:O it was just not one of these overkilled fanstasy WoW style rpgs
i disagree, I thought the game was rather fresh and immersive, the missions were a little good but at times lacked group effort. Treeback farm was probably the most fun PvE I've ever done in a MMO though. The game had a lot of potential, it was just rushed...succeeding with another year of polish doesnt show how flawed it was, that's just being ridiculous, what If WoW was rushed and released 1 year earlier than it was...same thing.
Thanks for the vid. This game will live in my memory for a long time. It managed to transend from game to experience. Good work from the designers in making it that way.
Yahh!!! I love Cormans music the most, but so many others are great too! Like Foreas_Forean, so good!! That huge tower was so sweet, and the swirling under it 5:55
Thanks for the tip! I just finished downloading the video and it's even better of course. I was in TR's beta and did not think the game was indepth and good enough to buy and play right now, I wanted to give the game 6-9 months for the devs to polish and add more content and more stuff to do than shooting aliens (like crafting and more), before maybe going back in, but with the game closing, that has never happened, I did not want to possibly fall in love with a closing game.
good idea kk! it may be a while but I'll add it for sure I have a list... I need to convert my own fraps videos too i keep putting it off cos its so technical
Go ahead with the embedding, always nice for more people to see these ;). If you want to link, you could use my TR playlist instead, to get only the TR vids.
cool :) I'll link you on tabularasamemorialDOTorg when I finish the Videos section!
Or, if you're ok with it I could embed it (have it playable on the page) with a link below to your Youtube profile page or somethin? :) anyway cool vid!
Man, all this Hellgate London revival stuff really gets my hopes up for this too...

Fair enough. I can level with that. The only other real MMO I played was UO. I quit shortly after age of the Samurai however.

Going from UO to Tabula Rasa has been a testimony to Richard Garriots talent. This game has been the best MMO i have played so far.
