Post - Tabula Rasa Beta Test just opened

As an IGN Founders Club member I've just been given access to the Tabula Rasa beta test..

Downloading it now so I' haven't been able to test it yet..

It looks like a very interesting and different from most other MMORPGs, so I'm looking forward to testing it...
The executive producer is none other than Lord British himself, mr. Richard Garriott and that doesn't make me less curious on the game either since I played several of the Ultima games quite a lot before..

About Tabula Rasa:
Features
  • Unique setting takes players to the frontlines of a futuristic war in a massively multiplayer war game that combines the character growth of an RPG with the action of a shooter.
  • Players will participate in large scale battles with NPC allies against an intelligent enemy known as The Bane for control of entire planets.
  • Players will go behind enemy lines in missions that directly impact the war effort, either solo or with teammates.
  • Rich storyline and fictional universe features Richard Garriott’s signature creative vision and attention to detail.
  • It’s not all guts and guns; a mysterious power known commonly as “Logos,” allows players to harness the very fabric of the cosmos to offer rebel forces an advantage against an overwhelming foe.
  • Simplified game interface is complimented by built-in voice chat technology to create a seamless cooperative gaming experience.
  • Role-playing game fans will enjoy a game design that focuses more on depth than complexity, with an immersive story and rich character growth driven by player choices.
  • First person shooter fans who crave a richer gaming experience will appreciate a massively multiplayer game that is reactive to player choices and allows for a broad range of character movement.
  • Massively multiplayer online game fans will enjoy a large community to interact with, and frequently updated content to both the game and the storyline.
