Take a tour through the game with Richard Garriott and his awesome rat tail

Sept 14, 2007

Famed game designer and space travel enthusiast, Richard Garriott sure makes a good case for his latest sci-fi MMO, Tabula Rasa.

Tabula Rasa seems ready to address these issues with its semi-shooter combat system, flexible class creation and character cloning features, and its rich sci-fi setting. But will Tabula Rasa be the clean slate for MMOs it's being hyped as, or will it just wind up feeling like World of Warcraft with space marines?
