Tabula Rasa

NCSoft has a sci-fi  MMORPG called Tabula Rasa headed for the shelves in sometime in what appears to be the distant future. Get the low down here.

Welp NCSoft was a major player then and they are a collosal MMORPG giant now. I am pretty sure the first time I saw any marketing material for Tabula Rasa was in my Auto Assault box.....that was quite some time ago ladies and gentlemen. With Guild Wars 2 on the Horizon and their other major titles still going did Tabula Rasa get the back burner? Who knows but it looks like at least a possibility to me.

Tabula Rasa is supposed to "combine the character growth of an RPG with the action of a shooter". Pretty tough bill to fit to say the least. It has been tried before and in my opinion all have failed. From the looks of it there isn't  a PVP aspect in Tabula Rasa and that's hard for me to imagine. A  Shooter  without PvP?  hmmmm.

With Huxley on the horizon I would say Tabula Rasa is going to have a pretty hard time drawing subscribers. It seems to me that FPS fans would stick with the traditional deathmatch style FPS's before heading to this title. As both and FPS and a MMORPG guy I am definately looking forward to Huxley much more than Tabula Rasa. NCSoft has a proven track record minus the utter failure of auto assault so who knows. At any rate Tabula Rasa is a small blip on the MMORPG radar, let's see if it gains any ground closer to release.
