Play Magazine has given Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa® their "Best Online RPG" award of 2007 in the February 2008 issue. They write, "From the early battlefields of the Divide to the Foreus Plateau, Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa presents a compelling moral/political sci-fi yarn sprinkled with just enough clever hybrid gameplay to escape the clutches of the MMO cookie cutter. TR's instances are well written, its world designs are thoughtful, and the cloning concept provides for highly rewarding class experimentation." Congratulations to the Destination Games™ team!
