It's official, MMORPG fans, Tabula Rasa is out and ready for the taking! NCsoft themselves made the official announcement yesterday, confirming that the PC game plunging you into a fierce intergalactic battle will be available in North America and Europe on November 2nd, 2007 - that's today. You can go for the standard edition of Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa, for $49.99, or the Limited Collector's Edition for $69.99.

"Now the fun begins! I can't wait to join thousands of other players in this exciting galactic war," said Richard Garriott, the game's executive producer. "It is time for us to release Tabula Rasa to the players. I am eager to see player reaction to the game, and am ready to build on what we've started here. We've got plans for new features and expansions for the foreseeable future and I'm hoping the players will enjoy the game and get excited about what's in store for them next!"

It has been confirmed that the game brings several new elements to the genre, including a Character Cloning System, allowing players to explore different character classes without having to create a new character, and dynamic battlefields.

"Dell and NCsoft have worked together closely over the past few years," said Michael Dell, chairman and CEO of Dell Inc. "I think Richard has really created a compelling game in Tabula Rasa. This game gives those who enjoy role-playing a rich and deep experience, while appealing to action gamers too. He's taken this game beyond being the next MMO entry into the field. It really is a fun, fast paced combat game that provides even more depth for players who want it. I'm excited to join the fight!"

Now remember, Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa is already available at major retailers, going for $49.99, as far as the standard edition goes, and for $69.99 if you're getting the Limited Collector's Edition like a true MMORPG fanatic. The game is rated T for Teen.
