Tabula Rasa, the upcoming MMOFPS from the Garriot brothers and Starr Long, is a much anticipated return for the Ultima creators and for fans of NCsoft’s massive-multiplayers. The story revolves around an alien race attacking a human-variant race and the resulting battles will play out across a few planets (at release, more will open up in future expansions), with it rumoured that players will be able to effect the overall outcome of the war with every battle that is waged, though the game’s focus has shifted greatly during it’s development, so most of the previous rumours may prove to be untrue. One thing that will probably not change much is the game’s lofty system specifications. Not one to be happy with meeting just the minimum system specs, I’ll certainly have to perform a series of upgrades in order meet even come close to the recommended system specs, something I imagine many fans looking forward to Tabula Rasa will be doing as well.
