"You are a soldier fighting for what you determine is right, and while
you may not be able to solve all the problems of the universe, you will go
from Tabula Rasa ("clean slate") to something much more."

"From the looks of it, it is gearing up to present players with a sci-fi
title that is more than just a typical alien shooter, but rather an evolving
and challenging game that will not only entertain but provide many opportunities
for players to feel a sense of accomplishment."

"This player controlled action is a big plus for Tabula Rasa if you ask
me. Players have to aim their guns and shoot, and while they'll get plenty
of help from lock-on targeting, this kind of battle doesn't seem as arbitrary.
Players will be able to move while fighting, use cover, increase their damage
by crouching, and avoid enemy projectiles by dodging as mentioned above. The
result can be exciting gunfire exchanges and the need for tactical teamwork.
Just because the game is still calculating odds of success for firing solutions
based on player and NPC attributes doesn't mean players can sit back and watch
the action."

"Garriott also suggested that the game will make smart use of instanced
content and branching story-driven quests to help players feel like they're
more involved in the game's story. This is also to offer a more mature overall
story that offers moral ambiguity and shades of gray, as opposed to the conventional
structure of most online games, which require players to complete linear quests
that always have the same result."

"What is Tabula Rasa? That's a fair question, I suppose. The answer is
that it's a revolution in MMO gaming, itÕs a new experience, and it
most definitely deserves your attention. Richard Garriott is more than famous
for his contributions to the gaming industry, which can be found in games
like City of Heroes, Lineage and of course, the Ultima series. All signs so
far point to Tabula Rasa eclipsing the impact that these games have had, and
it most certainly seems that many hours of my time are to be eaten up by this
amazing-looking game.
" It's definitely fair to say that Tabula Rasa is pretty much unlike
anything else we've seen before. From just the short time I got to spend watching
this game, it's jumped right to the top of my most wanted list."
