Tabula Rasa closed beta keys

By Tom Bramwell Published 8 August, 2007

You may have them!

Would you like to play NCsoft's Tabula Rasa? I know what you're thinking: "Oh if only I could play NCsoft's Tabula Rasa! How heartless of Eurogamer to dangle that prospect in front of me when the possibility of it being so is so minimal!" To that we say: relax! Because we've teamed up with NCsoft to let you play Tabula Rasa.

We are in fact giving away several thousand keys for the Tabula Rasa closed beta test over on Eurogamers right this second! Just register for Eurogamers and then visit the Tabula Rasa beta key giveaway page and you too could be playing the next MMORPG from Richard Garriott - him of Ultima fame.

And while you wait to find out if you're lucky enough to have made it onto the beta, why not creep around our Tabula Rasa gamepage, where you can find an interview with the man himself, as well as news, trailers and screenshots in abundance? There really is no reason not to do that, and we're sure you will. Enjoy the beta.

    One of the first to get a key and the first one to post a comment.

    A winner is me!

    I guess this will be quite boring as most MMORPGs (and boy, I've seen most of them) but it never hurts to try. =)

    I've been looking forward to this game, hope i'm not disappointed.

  • dredd97 #11 5 years ago

    have me a key, and busy d/l from GH now...

    please don't disappoint me Tabula Rasa...!!!!

  • Dizzy #12 5 years ago

    Played in beta... deleted after a few hours. Sucks sadly.

  • Whizzo #13 5 years ago

    A 2.5 gig download from a site that doesn't support resuming? Er that's rather stupid.

  • dredd97 #14 5 years ago

    man, a 2.5gig download and now a huge patch too...

    why didn't they just upload the latest client?

  • geoffw22 #15 5 years ago

    Why use GH or FP, you can get a 393k installer client from the PlayNC website. This downloads the latest client for you.

  • [DVDF]Gooner #16 5 years ago

    so what's the word on the virtual street? is it worth the disk space or are we looking at another Vanguard?

  • gmmonkey #17 5 years ago

    3 hrs left until ive downloaded. I've had my eye on this because it's a sc-fi mmorpg. Not as much as age of conan though.

  • dave06 #18 5 years ago

    how fudging big is this patch, godamm asscrunchers

  • gmmonkey #19 5 years ago

    WTF is this shit? I download the game then I've got a patch that takes longer to download than the game? Forget this guys. You can't even pause the patch and continue it at a later date.

  • Miths #20 5 years ago

    Seems like Windows 2000 is at the end of its rope for gaming. Until less than a year ago I could pretty much run 99% of all games, but that's unfortunately not the case anymore - and not just with Microsoft games.
    It's too damn early to get Vista, and buying and installing XP seems like a bit of a waste so close to the time where Vista will probably be worth the upgrade :).

    Well, I'm trying my luck with this beta anyway - sometimes they just don't mention 2000 to avoid having to provide official support.

  • NegativeZero #21 5 years ago

    Looks like play is restricted to certain times of the day? Might have been nice to have known that before I took a key. I was really interested in checking this out but because of timezone differences it's basically 2am until 9-11am here.

  • Lim-Dul #22 5 years ago

    LOLZORD! 2.8 GB of downloading goodness... And that's by PlayNC who have been working several years with ArenaNet who made GuildWars and that wonderful streaming content delivery system where you could start the game after like 5 minutes and the rest would be downloaded as you went along... This is friggin sad...

    You can resume the download, however...

  • NegativeZero #23 5 years ago

    NCSoft are just the publisher. Tabula Rasa and Guild Wars are by completely different developers - TR is by Destination Software, which is basically comprised of a bunch of guys who jumped ship from Origin after EA canned all of Origin's in-development MMOs in 2000 (which at the time was Harry Potter Online, Ultima Online 2, and Privateer Online). Guild Wars is by ArenaNet, which is similarly composed of industry vets, though in their case they came mainly from Blizzard.

  • mkreku #24 5 years ago

    Aww, I saw this at work. I got me a key but I can't start downloading anything until tonight! And I'm busy playing Gothic 3 at home! Damn.

  • Vandrius #25 5 years ago

    Off topic, but I so wish they'd made a UO 2.

    UO was the best fun I've had in a MMORPG ever. So much freedom, easy to travel, depth of gameplay, PvP tactics etc.

    My gods, if only other MMORPG's had stolen the idea of marking runes in order to travel somewhere... None of this "Oh, if I want to go to dungeon X I need to travel to Town Y and run 20 minutes". Thats not immersion, unless the trip to the dungeon is different and fun every time (as opposed to the exact same, with the same spawn you need to avoid, etc).

    And there was nothing quite so fun as casting Polymorph->Dragon and Incognito to scare newbies.

    I had a pack of 6 newbies in bone armour try to take my polymorphed dragon down when I was near the graveyard :-)

  • Miths #26 5 years ago

    According to the launcher, session times are Monday and Wednesday 5pm - 2am BST and Friday 5pm - Monday 2am, so for those of you waiting eagerly to get home to play the game, it looks like we won't be able to do so until tomorrow evening anyway.

  • dave06 #27 5 years ago

    ah ffs i just finished applying the ENORMOUS patch and now i cant play till 5 tomoz which is when i start work, why do u hate me gods of gaming whhhhhy

  • shamblemonkee #28 5 years ago

    so anyone actually got in to play yet? i let it download the client last night, which finished at around 23:30 - thought woohoo, then boot it up and UBARMEGAPATCHOFDOOM.... *sigh*... 2 more hours of downloding which i've left running while at work...

    Yeah, I got a few hours play last night. It's not bad, but it's not great either... If anyone knows what "logos" are and why the hell I'm collecting them, please let me know.

  • Martin #30 5 years ago

    Why won't it give me a key? I'm a nice guy.

  • Jaded #31 5 years ago

    try creating a new EG account

  • Martin #32 5 years ago

    If that's the case then EG is teh suck!

    I've been an early adopter of both EG and Eurogamers and this is how I'm rewarded?

    Bah!

  • Jaded #33 5 years ago

    Huh? the new account is just a temporary way of getting the key, you don't have to use it after

  • Martin #34 5 years ago

    I'm very well aware of that but I think it's wrong that only new Eurogamers members get the key.

    It'll only lead to what you just described - a lot of bogus accounts so that people can get the key.

    Nevermind though, I opted for the CoH/CoV 14-day trial instead - sonds a lot more fun and polished.

  • craigy Verified Senior Developer, Eurogamer Network #35 5 years ago

    "I'm very well aware of that but I think it's wrong that only new Eurogamers members get the key."

    Martin, that isn't the case at all - everyone is welcome to receive a key! If you're having a problem getting one, please PM me with more details and I'll be more than happy to look into it.

  • Martin #36 5 years ago

    @craigy: Good to hear - I actually didn't think it'd be that daft but I assumed (which I shouldn't do - I know) that Jaded had tried and got it to work.

    As for the details - nothing happens when I click the "Gimme my key" button, I just end up at the same page.

    It worked for the CoH/CoV key (although that key in turn didn't work but that's another story).

  • furrycheeky #37 5 years ago

    Well I'm not impressed. All day to download, having to find 8 gig space to install. Now the NC Launcher tells me Error loading skin: Value cannot be null.
    Parameter name: path.

    It will not do anything else. Even if I solve this I still have the apparetn 200mb patch to go....

  • furrycheeky #38 5 years ago

    Win rar didn't like my download either, I let windows unpack it for me.

    I cannot fix my problem I have installed, tried, uninstalled, reinstalled and tried with the same error.

  • Whizzo #39 5 years ago

    You can resume the download, however...

    Not if you'd used the GH link that NCSoft have as the first option, fortunately there is the launcher download as geoffw22 mentioned.

  • Lim-Dul #40 5 years ago

    Not if you'd used the GH link that NCSoft have as the first option, fortunately there is the launcher download as geoffw22 mentioned.

    Ah - didn't know that since I downloaded the launcher right away. I already had a PlayNC master account from Guild Wars and the download link in there pointed me immediately in the right direction.

    But that doesn't matter much since you'll be spending even more time downloading the patch (like some people were saying)... Jesus Christ - this is one weak beta when it comes to getting people to actually play it...

    Anybody besides me noticed how the name "Richard Garriott" is plastered all over the place? Even the default installation folder is called Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa... OK, I know, he IS a well respected game designer and there were other games with their designer's name in them (Sid Meier's *Anything*? =) but I kind of can't get used to the whole Richard Garriott hype - especially if Tabula Rasa isn't as good as everybody would make us want to believe it is... I'll find out in a week when I finally manage to play the friggin beta - the thought that another patch might appear before I get the current one gives me the shivers. ;-)

  • furrycheeky #41 5 years ago

    I give up. I hgave downloaded the Beta TWICE. Both installs leave me with the NC Launcher giving a skin error. I was going to beta test for them, but I cannot be bothered to try anymore to the the launcher to work, to download more, to get what little time available there is to test.

  • mingster #42 5 years ago

    bloody whingers the lot of you..
    you sound like spoilt kids.
    downloaded the installer 2.gig no problems got 180k/s speed
    dl'd in background while playing poker..
    have left the update/ patch installing now while i'm at work will be done when i get home. No probs so far at all.
    If you can't handle installing an update then you shouldn't bother with a beta.

  • furrycheeky #43 5 years ago

    Don't be so arrogant mingster, and stop showing off, some of us live in remote areas and have to make do with 512k broadband due to lack of BT network. That turns a 2gig+ download into an ordeal that ties up your whole bandwidth ALL day. I volunteered to beta test the game, not sort out the launcher problems


    So its not just about the update, if you would care to read through. The Nc launcher failiure is not just affecting me, other sites have posted people with a similar fault.

  • mingster #44 5 years ago

    Look its a FREE beta.. your not being paid your volunteering.
    If it doesn't work then thats the point of beta testing you post your results of your problems to the QA team. You don't complain your expected to find problems thats the point of beta testing. If it all worked perfectly then there would be no point.

    Also the minimum specs state 512k broadband so you meet that requirement.

    Do you use VISTA? The installer is having problems with it.. im on XP and all works so far.

    "Don't be so arrogant mingster, and stop showing off, some of us live in remote areas and have to make do with 512k broadband due to lack of BT network"

    Heheh Im sitting on a 20Mb connection and SOOOOO oftem Im lucky to get anything more than 512Kb to a site. Heck I see the same thing at work (2Mb). Currently patching at....43KBs :/

  • Lim-Dul #46 5 years ago

    Look its a FREE beta.. your not being paid your volunteering.

    Exactly! Ha, ha!

    Besides - a beta is far more important to the designer of the game than for players - some people probably don't realize that.

    It helps him test the system, sort out the bugs and advertise his/her product through something that resembles viral marketing (hey, have you checked out the beta version of this and that? The word is spreading.)... And they get all this for free... If he/she can't even get the players to play the beta by discouraging them with a sloppy download system, even though the product enjoyed a lot of hype, then what does it tell us?

    Believe me, the alpha version of Guild Wars (not to mention a lot of other betas) was easier to deal with than this crap (I'm not talking about the gameplay, which I have yet to see, but about the sloppy technical side) - and I should know since I was an alpha tester. =)

    Update: Yay! And now the update servers have stopped working altogether! That's friggin great since the time the beta can be actually PLAYED approaches! Way to go!

  • markitzs #47 5 years ago

    I can't log in the game.

    Got the serial from EG, went through all the steps needed to register. Downloaded the game AND the patch (twice, had some issues). Started the game, entered my user name and password, but the game says that they're wrong.

    Wrote a detail question through the help interface. Hope to see an answer tomorrow.

    Has anyone else had similar problems?

    P.S. The game shows up among my game accounts on http://www.plaync.c om/us/account. I know it says 'us' in the adress, but that's the link the game it self suggested to check.

    P.S. I've been trying in the "legitimate" hours, on "legitemate" days.

    Edit:

    Here's a screen shot of the error:

  • Pike #48 5 years ago

    Just got my first play session in. So far impressions are positive.

    It's a bit glitchy and laggy, as is to be espected at this stage, but it's very playable still.

    I like the styling even if it isn't a graphical powerhouse and combat is a step in the right direction, IMO.

  • Lim-Dul #49 5 years ago

    And I think it sucks quite a bit (I finally got to play it!). Yeah, it has a different theme than most MMORPGs and there are noticeable differences (as between all MMORPGs) but so far the overall feeling is very generic... Revolution my ass.

  • mkreku #50 5 years ago

    I am disappointed too. I was expecting this to be much more.. original. But it's the same "get 8 of these", "get 12 of these" quests and the combat, while it looks more like a FPS, is the same as in every other MMORPG out there; no direct control and player skills have NADA to do with the outcome of the fight. Richard Garriott :(

  • DerFlange #51 5 years ago

    Contrast this clusterf**k with the polished joy that was the World in Conflict beta. I WILL buy that game on the strength of the Beta. I will probably NOT buy TR on the weakness of this Beta.

  • ZuluHero #52 5 years ago

    i like it. If you get past that confusing tutorial and get to the "storm the base" bit, its really cool. The amount of enemy troop carriers and explosions going on is pretty special. A lot different to the more subdued wow approach. This feels like you are a new recruit thrown in at the very very deep end and told to swim. Like Saving Private Ryan's Omaha beach landing - in mmo form! I've never had a rush like this from an other mmo's i've played, and i've played lots :)

    Im gonna push on past the instanced start bit to see if the game stays with this high :)

  • Lim-Dul #53 5 years ago

    Im gonna push on past the instanced start bit to see if the game stays with this high :)

    No, it doesn't. You'll be spending your time killing CRITTERS to collect an ever increasing amount of DNA samples, skulls, penises etc. Around their spawn points dozens of players like you will be waiting for them to spawn and kill them before others do (to get the aforementioned items) and the illusion of good gameplay will be gone in seconds... Instead of a revolutionary game we get a MMORPG that feels even MORE generic than recent titles - I was feeling as if I was playing Knight-Online again... And NOTHING changes even after you level up a couple of times (am currently level 10)... Oh the grind, oh the humanity...

    Ah - and the graphics are quite poor. I know that MMORPGs should attract as many users as possible, hence can't have high system requirements but Guild Wars looked better back in the day when it was first released... And the framerate on the best settings is crappy - even on my rig - while the game is still looking like shit on a stick. Instead of FSAA they applied this friggin blur effect which is a poor man's FSAA in all the games that can't be bothered to use a good graphics engine... Geez...

    When will the mediocre MMORPG-flood cease? It's all WoW's fault since it showed game designers how easy it is to milk money off gamers with stuff they've seen like a hundred times before (but not with WarCraft and Blizzard stamped on it, hence the good sales)...

  • TheUnionFrag #54 5 years ago

    I've recently gotten back into GW. I'll give this game a chance but when I'm in a GW mood you can't get me out of it for a year.

    Shame that the content delivery system sucks. I've always found the GW one a joy to deal with. ANet know what they're doing.

  • Lim-Dul #55 5 years ago

    Well - the founders of ArenaNet are basically the masterminds behind Battle.net after all. =)

  • ZuluHero #56 5 years ago

    "No, it doesn't. You'll be spending your time killing CRITTERS to collect an ever increasing amount of DNA samples, skulls, penises etc...."

    hehe - eye of the north is out in like 2 weeks anyway, so there goes my time spent playing this beta. Its turns out what you said seems to be true which is a shame as I was really looking forward to TR, esp. after that initial rush - its quite disappointing to see the "real" game now :(

  • Lim-Dul #57 5 years ago

    I think it is simply hard to make interesting quests and missions without a largely instanced world as in GW although it is not a MMORPG in the traditional sense of the word (which may be a good thing) - however, I expect game designers to at least TRY.

    I found it ironic how every quest in the beta features a prompt to rate it. E.g. you just spent half an hour hunting "space boars" (or sth. like that) for some samples and now you have to rate it - was it great? Hmm... Or you were running for half an hour to some bullshit-shrine for no particular reason at all... *sigh*

    Another thing is - yes, TR plays like a third-person shooter but Garriott (or whoever) decided to make a hybrid between a more skill-based fighting system and one that is easy to use for unskilled players - hence we have the target lock which makes it nearly impossible for you to miss wit a gun UNLESS the game rolls some stupid virtual dice and decides that it's time for you to miss even though your shot was dead on target... This is very, VERY annoying, especially if you're skilled at aiming... Another side-effect of this system is that instead of feeling as if you're shooting the enemy to death you're feeling as if you're CLICKING them to death like in all the widely criticized MMORPG-systems in the past... And why are all the guns so damn underpowered? I understand that there has to be some character progression etc. but do you really need like 10 shots with a rifle to kill a boar? Again - stock MMORPG mechanics instead of a truly innovative design...

  • Darkedge #58 5 years ago

    Lim-Dul has alot of hate and actually is quite wrong in many ways.
    some quests are find x of x or y of y but I've played it up to like lvl 20 and thats about 5%, even then they quests are cleverly described and also give you hints on how to play the game and take out certain monsters better, which is nice.
    The graphics ARE quite good if you have a graphics card that runs shader model 2 and you adjust the settings - try the custom settings and static + dynamic lighting and 64bit if you can do it. Then it looks like doom3 except outside and even better :) I haven't seen that level of quality in an mmo yet.
    And half an hour hunting boars? you really are crap I did that mission in 5 mins :p and it takes like 2-3 shots to kill a boar if you've got a decent weapon (or use decay or lightning).
    Yeah it still has the dice rolls in the background, but do you really think that with latency and variability of internet connections it could be full fps even if they wanted to do that?? I think not, and the blend of skill needed (which the game does need) and tactics is a breath of fresh air instead of every other MMO bashing the keys from 1-8 in sequence until the baddie you've got locked on target dies. The combat makes WoW players look like a baby with a mallet and a zylophone :)

    I'm enjoying it, it has rough edges, needs more work but definite potential. And it certainly is fun to run around and kick alien butt for a change than the usual bloody orcs and elves shite that virtually every other cookie cutter mmo is about.

    Well - I've played, no, sorry, ground to level 10 and it's more like the find x of x and run around like an idiot quests constitute not 5% but 95% of the game. The only moment I got some fun out of the game is when I met a nice party (chat-wise) but that applies to pretty much EVERY online multiplayer game...

    The graphics ARE quite good if you have a graphics card that runs shader model 2 and you adjust the settings - try the custom settings and static + dynamic lighting and 64bit if you can do it. Then it looks like doom3 except outside and even better :) I haven't seen that level of quality in an mmo yet.

    Highest settings here. Core2Duo E6600 @ 3.2 GHz, 4 GB RAM @ 1 GHz, GeForce 8800 GTX... If you describe these graphics as good (and they're not even optimized) then you must've spent the last few years playing Tibia (and even that might have an advantage from an artistic point of view)... Go and look at Guild Wars' graphics if you will.

    And half an hour hunting boars? you really are crap I did that mission in 5 mins :p and it takes like 2-3 shots to kill a boar if you've got a decent weapon (or use decay or lightning).

    You didn't get my meaning. 1. I was exaggerating, 2. I've spent probably a few HOURS doing similar quests to the boar-hunting one, so while it might not have been true in this particular quest it is true overall.

    I think not, and the blend of skill needed (which the game does need) and tactics is a breath of fresh air instead of every other MMO bashing the keys from 1-8 in sequence until the baddie you've got locked on target dies. The combat makes WoW players look like a baby with a mallet and a zylophone :)

    WoW is a pretty generic MMORPG itself. Compare it to any other skill-requiring MMORPG (I won't name Guild Wars again, cause it's unfair to compare crap on a stick to a piece of art) and you'll find that it isn't nearly as innovative as it thinks it is.

    And it certainly is fun to run around and kick alien butt for a change than the usual bloody orcs and elves shite that virtually every other cookie cutter mmo is about.

    That MIGHT have been an upside of this title IF it hadn't been spoiled by crappy art direction and stupid respawning enemies/mission objectives/whatever that take away any sense of accomplishment and destroy the atmopsphere, players spawn-camping certain areas on the map etc... This game truly looks like a soulless grindfest to me - the only parts I've been enjoying slightly are the instances where the gameplay gets a little bit less generic but they're still not very good...

    P.S. I don't like WoW either. And I got bored by traditional/generic MMORPGs a long time ago. And Tabula Rasa IS one of those generic MMORPGs in disguise. Swap your bow for a gun, swap your spells for some alien-power bullshit, swap your zombies for mindless cyborgs and you got yourself a game as dull as it gets...

    P.P.S. I got bored by GW as well, so I'm not really a fanboy - I can just tell an innovative design from a non-innovative one when I see them coming... Nevertheless in GW's case I got bored after about 2 years while in TR's case 2 days were enough... ;-)

  • mkreku #61 5 years ago

    I can't believe Richard Garriott lets his name headline this game. The guy who made Ultima IV connected to this ultra-generic MMORPG..

    Seriously, the guy who wrote that only 5% of the quests were "collect X amounts of these for no good reason at all" is lying out of his ass. At least 75% of the quests I did were fed-ex quests, the rest being "report to this guy and get back to me", which involved running out to some obscure base and back again for no reason at all.

    If the quests weren't bad enough, the equipment was. They didn't even bother to name the stuff properly! Instead you got the SAME stupid name on every piece of armour, and when you found something better than what you previously had, you got a version number higher! "Oh look, generic armour piece v.8! Now I can sell my generic armour piece v.7!". Geez.

    And finally about the combat.. It doesn't matter if you hit the monsters you shoot at or not. The game decides the outcome of the battles to 100%. It tries to give you the illusion that you're somehow in control, but you're not. If you go up against a level 10 monster at level 5, you WILL lose, no matter how well you aim. If you up against a level 1 monster at level 5, you WILL win, no matter how awful you are at aiming. You'll fire and fire and fire and even though your own aim hits 100% of the time, the game might decide that you only hit 50%. Might as well have had the generic auto-combat of WoW instead of opting for the worst of two worlds.

    ok. i'm a bit confused. i just got my keys and stuff.
    i have GUILD WARS but it doesnt recognise me on NCsoft. i havent played Guild wars in long time though, is that why? or is a NCsoft login only apply to guild wars expansions (that i dont have).
    also, second problem
    where the hell do i download the thing? it doesnt tell me and jsut seems to give me an account. grrr!

    Ok, tried this over the weekend.

    After the woeful introduction and crushing lag upon starting I persevered to level 6. Along the way I got to experience glimmers of a great game

    > the feel of a battlefield with many people teaming up to tackle dropship spawns
    > the cloning system
    > teleporting

    however i also got to experience the usual glut of fed-ex quests, the aforementioned lag which brought my system to a slideshow in towns, and the faux fps of shooting npcs.

    Needs a lot of tweaking if it's to break the boundaries it claims to.

    You need to have a PlayNC master account which is a completely different thing to Guild Wars.

    @mkreku: Exactly my feelings...

    so why does it go on about Guild Wars on the NCsoft accounts stuff?
    it's a bit confusign to say the least.. if they arent related and yet it's going on about guild wars on their accounts..

    i did create a NCsoft login and it has the tabula rasa bit. but i want to know how i can add my guild wars account to it as it seems to suggest i can...

    i still cant log onto guild wars.. :( and i know it;s the same e-mail as i have e-mails in my mailbox to do with guild wars... but they dont seem to have an option to send my password to it.
    or it doesnt recognise my account (e-mail) yet it IS that e-mail. has creating an NCSOFT account fucked it up somehow?

    No - do you still have the key for Guild Wars? If you do then all you have to do is type it in in the PlayNC master account and the game will be added. Later you can reset your password etc.

    i tried that. it said "invalid code"
    yet it IS the code i used because i bought it in a shop and still have it in the box.
