NCSoft announced the Tabula Rasa Collectors Edition, which is now available online for pre-order with Amazon.com.

Collectors Edition Only Swag:

• Special in-game briefing from Richard Garriott’s alter-ego in the game, General British. (He’ll personally thank you for buying a copy and helping pay the way to expand on his castle in Texas, more of a keep really.)
• Exclusive armor dye recipes (To be wasted on your newbie armor that’s replaced in 2 days, or saved for 3 months till you max out with your final epic gear.)
• Special character emote (We imagine it’s something along the lines of holding a hand to your forehead in-game and making the letter “L” with your thumb and finger.)
• Unique pet (You can’t have a MMO without a mini pet chasing after every player! Possible eBay $$$ potential here too!)



• Classified maps
• Allied Free Sentients AFS field guide
• Tabula Rasa dog tags (I’d wear em’)
• AFS challenge coin
• Special edition poster (Nothing impresses the ladies more than an MMO poster on the wall.)
• One month of free game time (duh)
• “Making of Tabula Rasa” DVD (Sure to never leave the game box. ever.)

In short, it’ll be the best extra $10 you ever spent to certify your MMO geekdom, at $59.99 vs. the standard edition’s $49.99 price tag, why not?! Act Now!

NCsoft Reveals Contents of Richard Garriott’s Tabula Rasa Limited Collector’s Edition Game Pack

Austin, Texas, August 20, 2007-NCsoft(r), the world’s leading developer
and publisher of online computer games, announced their plans for the
Richard Garriott’s Tabula Rasa(r) Limited Collector’s Edition, which
will be released to stores in North America and Europe when the game
launches this fall.

This special retail box offers customers exclusive in-game items,
including a special character emote, exclusive dye recipes players can
use to create unique armor colors, and a unique pet. Players who
purchase the Limited Collector’s Edition box also receive a briefing
from Richard Garriott’s alter-ego in the game, General British,
classified maps, an Allied Free Sentients (AFS) field guide, Tabula Rasa
dog tags, an AFS challenge coin and a special edition poster.

The Limited Collector’s Edition also includes one month of free game
play and a “Making of Tabula Rasa” DVD.

One of the most anticipated PC games of the year, Tabula Rasa is the
latest title by gaming legend Richard Garriott and offers a strikingly
new approach to the design of multiplayer online games by combining a
vast, persistent game world and rich storyline with fast-paced action.
The game introduces several innovative elements to massively multiplayer
online (MMO) games, including a Character Cloning System(tm) that allows
players to explore different character classes without having to create
a new character. Dynamic battlefields and ethical parables make this
MMO game incredibly immersive, where players really feel a part of the
ongoing war effort.

“The Limited Collector’s Edition we have put together for Tabula Rasa is
loaded with cool things for players who really get into the role-playing
aspect of the game,” said Executive Producer Richard Garriott. “Regular
players will find the maps and field guide useful as they move
full-force into the game’s fast-paced action. Other items, like the dog
tags and challenge coins, bring home the ‘brothers in arms’ feeling of
this game even when you aren’t playing.”

When the game launches later this fall, players will find the Richard
Garriott’s Tabula Rasa Limited Collector’s Edition at most local and
online retailers and at the PlayNC store
