Tabula Rasa ends six-year wait with Oct. 19 release

Tabula Rasa is more than just the best episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, it's also the new Richard Garriott MMORPG product being published by NCSoft, which revealed last night that the game will finally arrive on Oct. 19, after being announced in 2001.

If you're among those who pre-ordered the game you'll get early entry on October 16. Not only will you get a few days ahead of your buddies in terms of experience, you can also be among the first to create overly-convoluted acronyms for common in-game objects. Could you imagine being the guy who created the next "LFG" or "SoW plz"? It could happen!
