  • I played TB for a short while. Quite short. At the time I was not expecting the game to be what it was, and felt disappointed. For some reason I quickly ran into npc's far too powerful for me to handle, got lost in the questing and stuck in places somewhere on the map. I eventually returned and, knowing what I was going into, thoroughly enjoyed myself. Truly a pity it ended how it ended, and sad that futuristic sci-fi is still a theme where too many games come to die.

  • ... God I miss Tabula Rasa. Long live Synergy, long live Foreas Base.

  • this trailer doesn't do justice to the game, I miss it despite not playing it too much. :( I wish there was a private server or something

  • This was the best mmo ever. R.I.P

  • 1:11 Looks a ittle like Mass Effect

  • @mancamiatipoola sorry not Divergence :P it was on the same site below the one I mean.

    Infinity is the game was the game I meant, I mean being able to have the WHOLE universe in EvE is good but what about the Universe + being able to fly down to planets and land and walk around ? like a Sci-Fi gta ^^, I am mostly speculating but it is still in alpha, but hopefully this shall be a truly awesome game :D

  • this was the best mmo out there

  • Why this does not exsist anymore? i wanted it so bad :S

  • NCsoft shut down Tabula Rasa because they didn't like Richard Garriott, the man behind the game (who is the creator of Ultima Online, the best game ever).

    they done this for pure vendetta, shame on NCsoft.

    Poor Richard, all his best work on video game have been demolish or ruined by big corporation who buy his game (EA and NCsoft).

  • if this was not paying every month i would play it

    to bad it's gone though

    and don't get me wrong i think it's worth paying each month but it was always against my principles to pay for a game every month

    otherwise i would play eve so...

    but aren't there private servers or is it really gone like auto assault?

  • y would they name this tabula rasa lol

    tabula rasa means clean slate and that when you are born you have no culture nor personality just crying and moving

  • @thehawaiian96792 pretty sure because the human race has been wiped out in this game except dozens of thousands,, and almost all of them have alien DNA now in them. Idk, haven't played this game in forever, but I know it was because Earth got raped.

  • Garriot know his games, i've seen this a while ago on tv (never played it, didn't have the time to invest). However, I feel it should have continued (feel it should never have died out). There isn't alot of good mmo sci fi games out there.

    Last thing I hear, Garriott has a pretty nice bankroll so maybe something else will be in development? Dunno, but I look forward to more great games from his line of work!

  • I miss TR too, it was a great game!

  • The coolest things always seem to bomb. Disgusting really....

  • I also miss TR so much!! It was fuckin great! i loved it! Please REOPEN this game!

  • damn richard garriott is a genius.I was w8ing for Ultima X to be released but that doesnt happened.I wanted to started Tabula rasa and when i was rdy to start tha game was offline.Now w8ting for a new game of richard garriott....

  • execlentet work ncsoft you created the worst fracase in history of the mnorpg

  • Global Agendas is like this in most ways...

    its sci-fi and place to go to the "Sohara Desert"

  • ya mancamiat, i know what you mean my clan and i used to play hellgate london, i played that game for almost a year and i loved it. but just like wat happened to TR, the gameing compaines had their finger up their ass and let the game(s) like HG and TR die. i doubt we will ever have a game a Sci-Fi game that we can play with out it shutting it down.

  • wait. so u cant play this game anymore?

  • RIP

  • This was one of the best RPGs I ever played. the combat system was awesome.

  • SWTOR will not stand a chance against Warhammer 40k: Dark Millennium.

  • why they take this game offline

  • totally agree, wish they'd never taken this game offline.. :-(

  • god i miss this game

  • @eatthebage1 sigh i wish they just made this game into f2p. it would make money if went f2p >.>

  • I MISS THIS GAME D= amazing PvE. Best PvE I've ever played in ANY MMO. It felt like real war and it didn't feel like those click to attack games, it's like Mass Effect. It's a shooter and an RPG at the same time but its ONLINE as well D'=

  • I miss this game so fucking much.... :(

  • lookin' good! would have loved to at least try it out.

  • Never played TR but I've heard it was good, I dunno NC is a weird company. I hate their titles like CoH/CoV and Lineage2. But they've also got 2 of my favorite MMO's on their list which are Guild wars (pvp is original and innovative) and Aion which is just a sick game. But I think they pulled all their resources off other project in order to make Aion, and this caused the other titles to suffer. On top of that they've got the worse marketing dept. of any company that develops games period.

  • Now if another company would just buy them out and pick this game up where it left off. But easier said than done I imagine.

  • This game showed a lot of promise. Ufortunately it bombed "at the box office" and so they had to shut it down. It's all about the benjamins... Goddamn corporate empires and their commercial crap that they enforce on the world. U can't make decent games anymore nowadays because of the financial implications. I hate this money hungry corrupted world we live in... I'm still waiting for a great sci-fi MMORPG cuz i'm so sick of WOW and every other fantasy MMO there is. Bring us sci-fi games !

  • @mancamiatipoola lol theyre actually making one of star wars and i belive they made one from star trek already... but never thought the rumor about mass effect 3 being mmo, that might be awesome

  • @Vellisipsi

    Star Trek Online is a piece of shit backwater MMO, as for the SW - The Old Republic, i'm signed up for the beta, we'll see how that goes.

    ME is a great RPG/Action, but i rly don't see it as a MMO, that would just ruin the story side of it (MMO have no epic story). They could have made a 2 player coop mode tho...

    Still waiting for that really big MMO, but it has to have a huge company behind it, for the support.

  • @mancamiatipoola Wow, for a second there I thought I was reading an old comment of my own lol! I totally agree, fantasy is so lame and overdone. Sci-Fi is where it's at! I miss TR...

  • @mancamiatipoola you are so right <.<

  • @mancamiatipoola

    try global agenda. i know your post is 1 year old, but hey: shit on it

  • @Zappelphillip666

    Global agenda? I dunno what u mean, mate.

  • @mancamiatipoola

    how about using the search function?

  • @Zappelphillip666

    I played GA. It's not really the same.

    What made TR great was this "army of me" feeling. You went, took over a base and held it for as long as you could. Others might have joined, and without arranging or agreement you helped each other out, there was simply enough enemies for everyone. No instances needed, just go in and have fun, alone or with a few friends, and that feeling of satisfaction when you managed to hold the ground...

    It's just not the same.

  • @mancamiatipoola There is Star Wars The Old Republic coming out that may interest you.

  • @mancamiatipoola

    I have a feeling it wasn't even that. The fallout between Garriott and NC was pretty rough or so I heard, and they most likely just wanted this gone. Also to promote their new love child Aion.

    But, bluntly, I came to play a SciFi MMO. Not a WoW clone.

  • @mancamiatipoola I know I'm posting this comment kinda late :P but I agree there are too many Fantasy MMOs but there is a game currently in development called Divergence Online - looks promising but what doesn't these days but still should be good to see what it brings and all other upcoming MMOs :D

  • @Smokeshota

    From all the trailers i saw of Divergence, it looks like a Mass Effect clone turned into an MMO. That is not necessarily a bad thing, as i have imagined how a ME MMO would look like and this game comes pretty close.

    For now it's just a concept without any funds, and it's going to die if a big gaming company doesn't get behind it, and if it does, they might even ruin it. Still, the gaming industry is getting more and more casual so i don't see this game having much luck...

  • @mancamiatipoola Neocron, Fallen Earth, Face of Mankind, etc etc. They're there, you're just not looking.

  • @xbox50000

    Well, i'm done with MMO's, but tnx. I prefer to focus on real life now and get out more. MMO's eat up too much of your time and with too few rewards. I'm playing cosmic RTS now and then.

    Take care.

  • @mancamiatipoola Yeah they do take a fair bit of time up. But if you ever go back to RPGs and want sci-fi ones, there are TONS out there, not as many as fantasy ones but they're still there.

  • @mancamiatipoola I'm sick of WoW but I still play once in awhile due to it being so habitual for me over the years, but my time in the game has become less and less. I'm not at all tired of the fantasy genre though, that's why I play these types of games because I like living in a world of magic, orcs/ogres/elves or whatever other fantasy games has to offer. But I do agree with you about money hungry corruption, I'm getting more and more turned off WoW because of that reason.

  • @mancamiatipoola Dark Millennium Online.

  • @halafradrimx

    Tnx. Dark Millenium Online looks like a great MMO in the Warhammer 40k universe. If the combat will be action oriented then it will probably have a lot of success. I'll keep an eye on it.

    Also, i have recently heard there is a private Tabula Rasa emulator in development. Just search Infiniterasa on google and track the forums. They have a test server going too. If they keep up the good work we may see a TR emulator up and running in the near future.

  • @mancamiatipoola Thanks pal.

  • Tabula Rasa was a awesome game, and I really hope Richard Garriott decides to reopen the game again. It DO have a future, if he just takes the step to reopen it, hes leaving alot of players dissapointed if he dont.

  • I knew a few people who played it. However I love planetside. Dated yes, but still a good solid game. Dynamic roles, different weapons, multiple objectives, vehicles up the ass. You could co-op with a group of 30 people. Just that the population went down. TR seems to have suffered the fate that may become PlanetSide. TR is gone, but PlanetSide is not.. yet. Give it a try. For glory, for humanity, for the Empire! For a good time try it at least. Don' let another good game die :( .

  • TR was one of the best MMO's I played.. no take that back, it was the best. Damn NCSoft screwed it up from the begining. I bet Garriott could have run it better by himself without NCSoft breathing down his kneck then giving him the boot.

  • Aaah, good old days.... I do miss TR :(

  • @Aganiel

    how about joining one of the Private Servers there are :P

  • D:

    and I didn't know because... WHY???

    but i'm afraid I'm really short on time :(

    School (final year...), Aion, C&C3 and social life beckon me over :(

  • How about you inform me of the ones that exist? :D

  • There are none. :D

  • Yea seems Ncsoft really sucks :( people have to wait 8h on qeues to play Aion... it's just lame.

  • go fuck Aion that will probably lead down the same road and shutdown like the rest did, ncosft fucking suck BIG TIME they can't even run proper games and servers. and it doesn't help with all the fucking stupid WoW players who just play the same old crap all the time they surely must want a change it's all stupid the whole lot someone needs to kick ncsofts arses stupid people

  • Fucking better than Halo!!!!!!

  • Oh gawd I miss tabula rasa T_T

    Now the only mmo i have is god damn WoW...

  • there'll be others :)

    Aion, The Old Republic, Black Prophecy, Guild Wars 2... just a matter of choice :)

  • yea but none of them will be like TR

  • It looks really interesting. Wish i had heard of it sooner.

  • it was amazing

  • do you have to download it ?

  • It's not available anymore.

  • I personally think NCsoft saw that Tabula Rasa just wasn't cutting it. It wasn't the "WoW Killer" they were hoping for that would make them big bucks. So they quit funding the team little by little and backed up Aion Tower of Eternity because they saw more in that.

  • NC Soft = Satan :D

  • No RG is the fuckhead. He got like one of the biggest budget to make the game like 100$ mill. I've seen games made for lesser money and still had a whole lot more what TR could offer. After launch RG was busy with his space travel and now when TR is closed he is suing NCSoft for 24$ mill. Wtf did the dev team do for a whole fucking year after TR's launch?

  • I mean how the fuck can u work for 1 year and not offer anything. Never seen any workplace which could accept that. We only got few instances, new weps, pvp balance and some mechs in the pvp map only. Btw the last pvp map they added was the most horrible ones they added.

  • So no NCSoft is not to blame entirely (well was a shitty server that couldnt handle lag) but blame it on RG the fuckhead. Hope he stays in space and never comes back that retard. Noboby cares RG u wont get chicks doing that or with your screwed ponytail to cover your bold head.

  • lol, ijji's huxley the dystopia or whatever seems like it came from this

  • Ahhh, good memories. I played this game in its final month. Met some cool people, had fun, it was a great game in my opinion. Don't care what anyone says. I loved it.

  • tht suxs it looked so good!!!1

  • wow this woulda been fun

  • it shut down!?!?!?! i just saw this on x-play and thought id see if the vids where cool GOD DAMN RERUNS!!!!!!

  • Actually I think Money isn't the Reason for the shutdown. Don't you read the new? Richard Garriot left NC Soft and now he even sued them for like 24 Million $ or something. I think Tabula Rasa was victim of political matters.

  • we all know this shouldn't of shutdown, and their is worser MMOs out their that's because people haven't got a clue my opinin the credit crunch fucked up tabula rasa simple it's became another victim of poor management

  • I miss this.

  • Search "Tabula rasa petition" In google

    SAVE TABULA RASA!

  • Petitions don't make money. Completely futile.

  • Too bad they shut the game down... i mean wtf why?

  • not many people playing it and supporting it probable.. Like Matrix online.. Is going to close down aswell... Who know these game might go on a private server.

  • I like this game alot, fun, fast paced, and had a unique gamplay style. The only thing I hated was the logos thing... always pizzed me off trying to get thm...

  • With all good things gone, comes new things. There is a game called Face of Mankind with an open ended world where you shape the story-line. This game is a Sci-Fi RolePlaying game and it is currently in Closed Beta right now. I can't wait for the release! =D check the website for more info on the game or you can search it up on youtube. Lol I'm not advertising, this game is just so sick! It's practically like TR except in space and with other planets.

  • yeah its good i like it.. im in CB aswell..

  • lol lucky! how is it? can u tell me all about it? =D I'll give you money in-game when OB comes out.

  • Damn ive been looking for this kind of mmo for 2 years all it needed was space exploration and it died? shit

  • 10 facts 1.Your reading my comment 2. Now your saying/thinking thats a stupid fact. 4. You didnt notice that i skipped 3. 5. Your checking it now. 6. Your smiling. 7. Your still reading my comment. 8. You know all you have read is true. 10. You didnt notice that i skipped 9. 11. Your checking it now. 12. You didnt notice there are only 10 facts Copy and paste to 1 video, tomorrow will be your best day ever! no matter what
  • i had 6 lvl 50's on this game when they shut it down... fucking faggots let the best sci-fi mmorpg die

  • I miss you TR. :`(

  • =(

    they should bring the game back with the option of subscriber of basic subcription. They'd make more money than last time.

  • I HATE GOOD MMO gone waste, BRING IT BACK!!!!

  • yes i miss it too....there will be never again a game like this...not even earthrise

  • i miss this game

  • Richard Garriot got his trip into space, we paid for him to go by subscribing to his game then as soon as he gets his wish he pulls the plug on the game.

    Somehow I feel used.

  • you're probably right, for some reason he all does sound fishy

  • what was the reason for this game to go down?

    didn't play it but just wondering...looks very good to me.

  • I dont wanna play AION!!!

    I wanna play Tabula Rasa..

    Damn it NC Soft!!

  • Lord... to the trailer: it's ok and Im still happy with my Tabula Rasa coin from the GC...

    to the rest: flaming nation?

  • i couldn't believe it when they said it was gonna close down, alot of people came from Autoassault to play tabula rasa and all of a sudden it closed down like Autoassualt did. what aload of rubbish they should of done better abd it turned out ugly and why should i play Aion it might end up getting closed down like the rest of them did what a waste of time a complete load of rubbish just 16 months and shutdown wasted all my time on it

  • omg u serious its down? omg right when i found out about it and wanted to play.... ='( ill never know wat it was like now

  • What are 12 years old? Or just a 30 year old virgin trolling around.

  • LOL! i play with friends, but make friends on the way, so yeah :D and if no one likes that, then their just anti-social xD i have a GF and a very good life right now, so IF YOURS AYINGW E DNT GOT A LIFE, WHY ARE U ACCUSING US RIGHT NOW ;D LIFEAPHOBIC ASSHOLE LOL

  • all i'm saying is that

    1. You seem to have hit the caps lock key

    2. Your space bar seems to be malfunctioning

    3. Is lifeaphobic a word?

    4. You write lol twice as if you are actually laughing out loud

    5. Do you ever hang out with these friends that you meet? If you do, that is creepy

  • 1 is true lol i didnt notice sorry

    2 yes actualy it is O.o thats scarey

    3 it is now :D lol

    4 sometimes i lose track of what i write sorry,

    5 na not really lol

  • I want an mmorpg where I can control when, how, and where to attack, kinda liike an fps in an mmorpg. Is this what this game is? If so, I'm fucken playing it

  • too bad it just shut down for good... I was like "Woah it's free I really wanted to play this so I guess I should download it." I did it took soo long the patch took soo long then I go to play and found out it was shut down right before I went to play... I feel like crying now that I wasted my saturday =( I really wanted to play it too. =( =( =(

  • they shut down all their servers. you can't anymore.  the game failed too much. haha

  • There's a lot of MMOs like that but I'm guessing yopu don't mean ones with mouse controls so, you should try Lunia. Lunia sucked, and it was grindy, but its free and its a decent little hack and slash mixed with MMO leveling.

  • In order:

    Yes, this is very much an FPS style with more manual controls than click and watch as your character does the same move over and over again.

    And you can't, because they shut it down.

  • can you tell me any other decent games like this

  • there will be no more games with the interactive robot on robot action that os portrayed in this game and is so popular. No game can suck the life out of you like this one

  • cheap version from hell gate ?

  • this game looks gay

  • agreed

  • You're some skaterpunk tragedy of a child, you don't know what gaming is anyway, so you don't really deserve an opinion here.

  • aggred

  • Ok bud, chill. I am very far from a "tragedy of a child". A tragedy of a child involves one sitting on their ass and playing weird ass role playing games like these with their faces 2 inches from the screen.

  • I doubt you';ve played this game, much less any REAL roleplaying game.

    Have fun with overly cliche JRPGs.

  • I have fun with friends on friday and saturday nights. but i guess you can have fun bonding with the warlocks and wizards of tabula rasa

  • So basically anyone who plays MMOs has no life? Fair enough.

    but i guess you can have fun bonding with warlocks and wizards of WoW, Shadowbane, and the thousands of korean grindfests out there.

    Hell, most people play MMOs with friends, not to make friends. Fuck.

  • If you're referring to me, the only MMO that I have played, whatever MMO may mean, would be Runescape. When I was ten. I would enjoy a grindfest right now

  • So you played Runescape, and you want to call -this- shit?

    Wow. Anyway people tend to use CAPITAL LETTERS when we don't have italics to put emphasis on what they're saying.

    Also I wouldn't believe so, any 'internet friends' to me are just people I spoke to on online games, and they tend to have decent taste in games.. So what the hell, they can add me on aim or msn.

    Also hate to break it to you but most of the people who do stupid shit like all caps tend to be people with lives. Sad, I know

  • so if I write in all caps, I'll have a life too?

  • No, what I'm saying is the people who are too dumb to lack any knowledge (not that I'm calling the previous person an idiot.) on how to spell correctly, that generally means they're too lazy to do it; like most people in real life who generally have lives.

    Then again it could be because I just live in a country that's KNOWN for idiots, but I've seen the same people in Canada and UK all the time on the internet.

    Fact is, myspace whores and illiterate drama queens are the ones with lives.

  • lol Tabula Rasa is Sci-Fi not Fantasy!!

  • ok, **the aliens and robots of tabula rasa**

  • ignorance...

  • its bliss

  • Guys I have tried over and over to post a comment about trying to save Tabula Rasa, an effort that began in December. No links in it either but you tube won't let me. I have no idea why. "Save Tabula Rasa McGillicutti" will bring up the site. I hope it will let me post this.

  • Comment removed

  • Shame to see tabula rasa shutdown at the end of the month, it had high hopes and promises but seems it was all pie in the sky, this reminds of of AUTOASSAULT the way it shutdown let's all enjoy tabula rasa while it's still around respect to all you guys

  • total shame, this was a great game.

  • its accutly not shutting down anymore ^^

  • hahahaha very funny ironxhunter i wish it wasn't shuting down either, there was a few GMs on today and they said it's still shuting down 1 day to ago !

  • it looks pretty pretty cool it's even free

  • it closes feb 28th thats kinda sad cuz its much better than wow and wow ( world of warcraft) steals all the players from tabula rasa

  • i hit wrong thumb :(

    they are in opposite placed on another site i go to, I am sorry.

  • is it meant to close down 28th feb

  • closing?u mean in 2009 February it stops working?

  • Nope, Its no more free, It will cost money !

  • Nope, Finally its completely down xD

  • looks good

  • is it multiplayer?

  • LOL!!!!

  • be nice

  • oh well never mind tabula rasa was a great game, it's life plaync should of advertised tabula rasa better but they fucked it up

  • 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.

  • What a wasted opportunity.

    It could have been so good.

  • there culd be 2 reasons why they shut down:

    1)Leaving of Richard Gariot

    2)Quarrel of other plubishers / game companys etc just same as HGL

  • YAY ITS FREE NOW!!!!! TY NCSOFT!!! (Wonder why they made it free, probablly not enough players coming on, idk.)

  • cause they are shutting down servers 28th of February :)

  • because they are shutingthe game down on fabuary 27th

  • Because the game is non-existent the 26th of feb

  • y???

  • i thought tabula rasa is nothing

  • Oh, and i am a little sad the game is closing. I never played it, to add to my list of mmo's i have played. In addition, i cannot get it now, as i am typing this up in an internet café in southern Spain and i do not get back until the 23rd of March 2009.

    Shame.

  • If your running around southern Spain what would you wanna be playing computer games for in the first place? :P

  • Almeria is a bet "meh" at this time of year. It's warm, but not hot. Still, it's ok.

  • Can you not download it for free from their site?

  • yes

  • so i can get the game for free?

  • yep. plaync loves us.

  • YES

  • Because it was not making money. (Or enough).

    I also heard the devs could not be bothered any more, ditto with the guy who thought up the game.

    It's business.

    Let me give you a nice example-

    Were i used to live, not so far away there was a giant granite stone quarry. The quarry became un-prothitable, so they closed it. The firm that owned the place did not go out of business though, as they own lot's of more profitable quarries around the world. Just like NCSoft, in a way.

  • its FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE on fileplanet

  • I'll give it a chance and watch some more vids for a better view

  • lol and alien mmorpg? xD lmao

  • arent u fuckin' tired of medieval rpgs? i mean seriously around 85%-90% of rpgs are medieval, i want something fuckin' new!!! im so sad that the servers are shutting down on february 28th

    :'(

  • -__- it wasn't meant as an insult i just never saw a MMORPG that wasn't .. medieval xD? but gosh i can't help it, aliens ain't my thing.
