Tabula Rasa Starts Taking Preorders

Posted by Stropp on August 11, 2007 The up and coming science fiction MMO, Tabula Rasa may still be in closed beta, but they're definitely looking ahead. This morning I received an email announcing that NCSoft are now taking preorders for Tabula Rasa. The preorder boxes have begun shipping to retailers across North America and Europe. Players can also head over to the PlayNC.com store to purchase the digital download. Players who purchase the preorder will get a number of bonuses, including:

• a three day head start on the live servers,
• two exclusive character emotes,
• exclusive Shell Bot or Pine Ock in-game non-combat pets to accompany their characters,
• a serial code for unlocking bonus in-game content and access to the beta test,
• a DVD with the game client, and bonus wallpapers and art.

The preorder only costs 4.99 US dollars. It looks like if you buy the game from the digital store, the DVD, wallpapers and art won't be included. There's no mention of them on the product page. However, for those of you who are itching to get into the beta it looks like you can get immediate entry into it for a pretty minor cost. However, there is no mention of a collectors edition that I could find. That doesn't mean one isn't being planned, just that you can't preorder it. I also couldn't find any mention of when the game would be released in Australia and the rest of the world. The digital purchase might be the quickest option for those of us outside Nth America and Europe. The game is slated for release in the northern fall season.
