I still haven’t picked up Tabula Rasa yet, I could give a number of excuses, but you don’t really care why do you? In any event one thing I used to love about playing Everquest ‘back in the day’ was the special events - not just the dragon raid weekends planned with guilds but the random times when the GMs would join the game and create something unique for the players in the area. I just got a press notice with such an event planned in Tabula Rasa, below is a copy of that notice:
Richard Garriott, aka General British, will be holding an in-game event in Tabula Rasa tonight. The event will be held on all servers (click here for times and details).
General British is known for making frequent appearances in the game, to the excitement of players, but the success of the launch of Tabula Rasa has prompted this “impromptu” event to be created.
“I wanted to quickly do something fun in-game as a thank you to the players who have made this such a smooth launch. We have continued NCsoft’s track record for incredibly successful launches and player interest and excitement is higher than we expected in both North America and Europe. The battlefields are full of players taking down Bane invaders & we’re having a blast kicking alien butt.”
Details about the event, a sci-fi trivia game where players have the chance to win in-game money (called credits), can be found at: http://www.rgtr.com/community/community_news/the_afs_scifi_trivia_challenge.html
Please encourage your readers to join in the fun. In addition to the many large content updates in the works now, the Tabula Rasa team plans to have a lot of community/dev interaction and involvement. This is just the first of many fun things to come!
So if you have a copy of Tabula Rasa make sure you show up at the proper time for your server and get your hands on some free (in game) cash!
