	Tabula Rasa 12:37 am-Turk Comments (0) MMO's Permalink (No Ratings Yet) Two months is the max I can take. Tabula Rasa account successfully cancelled. This account will no longer auto-renew, and you will not be able to log in after your current subscription expires. It’s sad really. There are some really nice things about the game. Cloning for example. Well the one thing that is nice about the game. It makes starting over something that is not as tedious as it is some other games. In Tabula Rasa one can clone their character if they have clone credits. You can get these credits from doing quests. After you have clone credits you can clone anytime. What happens is you copy whatever character as it is. Skills points are reset. You keep your level and any advanced class choices you have made. Which is where cloning is nice. At 5, 15, and 30 you get to pick an advanced class. So clone right before 5, 15, or 30 and then you can try the class you did not take for your main character. Below is my Ranger and then his Commando clone I made at right before hitting level 15. That being said the game is more or less like World of Warcraft with more guns. It lacks something I call soul. Gawain just says it’s not any fun to play. Which I suppose both are correct. Maybe in a year (if it is still around) I will try it again. Also one more negative thing to say about Tabula Rasa. Let’s say you join a clan (guild) with a bunch of people you don’t know and then later decide to quit it because you want to play with people you know. You would think it’s a simple matter of clicking the accept button to get into the new clan (guild). Nope. Your told by the game after you click the tease of an accept clan invite button that you have to wait a week in real time before you join a new clan. Why even be able to invite someone to a clan (guild) if they have the week waiting period? Honestly it was very irritating.

	This And That 11:58 pm-Turk Comments (0) Games Permalink (No Ratings Yet) So I’m jonesing for a real mmorpg to play. I thought I had one to play. No not fucking Hellgate: London. I had purchased Tabula Rasa from GoGamer.com when it was on sale for $29.90. Me and Gawain both tried it out when it was in beta. It was an enjoyable game. It a nice change from the fantasy type mmo I usually play. It has a nice sci-fi guns thing going on. The problem is that I ordered this on the 9th and I have yet to get the game. Damn me for being a cheapskate. The USPS tracking number is no good at all. It makes me wish I would have picked UPS or something other than the damn USPS. Here is the info I get with my tracking number: Electronic Shipping Info Received, November 09, 2007 Processed, November 10, 2007, 2:01 pm, BELL, CA 90201 Since the 10th there has been no update. With UPS I could always check daily and see what was going on. I’m starting to think the package is sitting somewhere in Bell, California, perhaps it fell off the truck. Maybe I won’t ever get my game. Give me an update USPS! Back to Hellgate: London for a moment. I feel foolish for wasting 10 bucks to subscribe only to get some lame Halloween shit and even lamer Guy Fawkes stuff. I’m canceling on next friday which is payday. I’m waiting because I don’t trust this assholes and their billing department. The game is fun, 10 bucks a month is not worth basically only extra character slots and a bigger stash. Next Mass Effect. A Xbox 360 Bioware rpg. What more do you need to say? It could be said that Mass Effect is the spiritual sequel to the great Knights of the Old Republic. The 20th just can’t get here fast enough.
