I enjoyed [laying this in beta and visited again revently with thte free trail. While it had a few innivations and was a nice change of pace from the standard fantasy MMO, there wasn't anything in it that kept me up all night playing like WoW did.
My biggest complaint for TR was that the crafting system was kind of fragmented and unrewarding. I rarely subscribe to an MMO where I don't have fun crafting and selling.
I just wish for once we could get a straight answer to the real causes of the cancellation.
Ummm.... are you, like, serious? Are you seriously asking what the "straight answer" is to why TR was cancelled?
It's because the game sucked and made it dick money. We're talking about a game which, one year after release mind you, was selling for less than a dollar on Amazon.com and couldn't even retain 30,000 subs.
Face of Mankind is now in Closed Beta. If you liked Tabula Rasa check this game out. Had some of the best PVP action ever in an mmo. I hate ganking, etc. but FOM is so realistic when confronted with gankers you can escape them, making for some of the most exciting chases ever. FOM is not full of gankers, please dont misunderstand but when I ran into players that had me outgunned I could get away and it resembled a real life situation losing the enemy in a maze of buildings, hallways, staircases, elevators just like being in a movie. So TR fans. There might be a game we can play using TR.s inginuity and gameplay. Hopefully see ya there. thanks.

Wow! This is a bit shocking (...well not really but...). I found this to be a very well put together Sci-Fi game that molded gun-play and melee combat very well. The story was fun and it overall really made you feel like you were part of something bigger. I'd actually rate it higher than a lot of other games that are currently out and perhaps the best sci-fi/avatar mmo currently out. TR...you will be missed.
Sorry to be redundant but you might like Face of Manking even better. Forgot to mention, since they did give us a generous amount of free time on City of Heroes/Villians thats what I have been playing again. Forgot how very cool that game was. Damn its good. Not enough PVP but now dropped every other MMO currently playing completly addicted to City of Heroes/Villians (wow, warhammer, lotro, etc. Even thought its years old there is a very large population still playing, even on the low populated servers you see lots of players and a great community. Never in any other mmo have I had so many group requests. The level system is unique to other mmos and gives you so many more options (you plan your powers and what to increase in advance) making leveling something to really look forward to. NCSOFT has shut other mmos down that didnt pull their weight. City of Heroes/Villians is obviously a winner. Check it out. Thanks Again.

I gotta say FoM is a poor replacement for TR. It looks like the original Couterstrike game graphics wise and probably has just as much content. Might be worth a few rounds while the game is free but I'd go back to Planet Side before I put down $$ on FoM.
To stay on TR topic I also gotta say TR was a blast to play, my only gripe was the lack of PvP & Vehicles. I cant believe TR dropped the game like they did especially since they are best known for Guild Wars. Since there is already hours of content to be experienced why would they throw it all away like they did. You would think there would be some way to restructure the game, shrink it, add PvP element to keep it fun.
People run free Private WoW Servers for Fun Play, I wonder what would be involved in getting a Free TR server up.
I said it in BETA, without launching TR with PvP, it didnt stand out enough, and was destined to fail.

thanks to private servers, tabula rasa will never really die. it might even get popular if there arent any retail servers anymore
