Tabula Rasa offers free re-enlistment week for old players, starts May 5th

Poor old Tabular Rasa. It’s a tough world out there if you’re an MMO without the word 'Warcraft' in your name. And for all the experience behind it, Richard Garriott’s Tabula Rasa has been struggling to keep players interested.

However, since launch there have been 8 new content updates, new Alien-hybrid thingies and new tokens – surely enough for players to want a second peek at the action?

I played in the beta and although Garriott’s re-envisioned combat mechanic was reasonably interesting, the rest of it seemed like standard MMO fare with little else to separate it from the crowd. However, it is a real shame that competition struggles so much in the WoW era – really, do none of these games manage to better anything that Blizzard has done? Go on, give it another go... it's free after all.
