The Latest Distraction

Well, I thought I might come and give an update of the goings on. Not that its anything unexpected. Recently, the BETA test for Tabula Rasa ended and now we are in "early start" (Launch is tommorow! ><). I think this game is pretty revolutionary, as far as the MMORPG genre goes - developers are having to try new things as the old things have become pretty stale. An MMOFPS such as this is very refreshing. Whether or not you can kill something is determined by your ability to skillfully control your character, not solely on your equipment, your level, and your dice rolls. Skills are chosen based on what path you choose on the tree, and then again by what you choose to spend points in. Stat points are distributable. The result? You customize who you are pretty completely. Granted, there are some class restrictions, but you don't feel locked in a box as you do with so many recent MMORPGs (LOTRO comes to mind.).

So, as you can imagine, this has been taking up an inordinate amount of my time. I have completed a few of my side projects, though ;) And now I'm here doing an update to the often neglected shadowfade site ;P

These are some screen-cuts from the pre-order beta, I'll have more interesting stuff after I play a bit more I'm sure ;)

Burn Fight Kill!




Posing? I guess ><




Sooo ... that's where I'll be. I'm playing on the US-EAST server (umm, Pegasus? Or something? hehe. There's only one, I know it starts with a P...) if anyone would care to join me ;P I like this game in that I feel like I can accomplish something even if I've only got an hour to play. Skilled players are rewarded. I solo'd a level 15 boss at level 11 (took me 20 minutes, but heh). The days of LFG may very well be over....

More to come ;P
