I don't really want to rag on Tabula Rasa, because I've been waiting for a good MMOG, and this might be it, but:

In character design, howcome nobody finds it odd that people wear stuff like this: http://www.shacknews.com/screens.x/tabula_rasa/Tabula+Rasa/2/030707/030707_tabularasa_7.jpg

The aliens are wearing what looks to be hand-stitched leather. It looks alright, but these people are using energy weapons. Dont you think they'd have some more advanced techniques for making clothes?

Btw I'm curious - who is NCsoft's target audience? Players who don't buy their other games? It seems to me they have one too many MMO games on the go. How many monthly fees can this one company ask for?

I hope the run on subscription MMO's gets played out. I don't blame them for wanting to get in on WoW's action but I seriously want some good, dedicated SINGLE-PLAYER games, not just some lame single-player component thrown in as an afterthought.

I really wish this man would be making a new single player RPG. I haven't been as entertained by any since Ultima VII. :( If anyone could take the crown from my favourite it would be him, but not with an MMO.

I strongly propose that the character artists on Tabula Rasa do an intership at Bioware. They might learn a thing or two.

Exhibit A:

Dear fucking NC,

Every time I hear / see / read your name, my heart skips a beat and I want to kill somebody.

But congrats on proving that at least you've been doing some shit with that Richard something fucker.

FUCK YOU after all.

- to other shackers - Had it not been for NC, the landscape of my life would've been very, very, fucking very different. Long story. Don't wanna even talk about it. That is all. I really gotta stop going crazy whenever I run into something related to the fucking company.
