Part of my #TabulaRasa #Roleplaying blog is still online. I miss #RichardGarriott's Tabula Rasa #MMORPG. We were generally roleplayers, many created RP blogs.

Long-lived General British!

Richard Garriott: the man, the myth, the mischief

Otro de los juegos cuyo desarrollo y lanzamiento seguí con expectación y acabó siendo un fracaso, fue "Tabula Rasa". Detrás de este juego se encontraba Richard Garriott, el creador del mejor MMORPG de la historia, el "Ultima Online". (me batiré en duelo con quien ose a rebatir este ultimo punto)
"Tabula Rasa" estaba llamado a ser uno de los grandes RPG masivos de la decada, y para ello apostaron por un shooter futurista con grandes dosis de rol en un entorno MMO dentro de un contexto bélico, donde los jugadores encarnaban a soldados de asalto que combatían a una raza alienígena en diferentes planetas para liberar a la Tierra. El juego, después de un turbulento y largo desarrollo trufado de contratiempos, se lanzó en 2007 en un arranque empañado por problemas tecnicos y con un sistema de suscripción mensual similar al de WOW. Un año después las cuentas no cuadraban y con el abandono de Garriott, el proyecto comenzó a languidecer hasta que tan solo 16 meses despues se anunciaba el cierre de los servidores en un apoteósico evento donde los jugadores pudieron librar la batalla final por la liberación de la Tierra. A día de hoy es un juego muerto ya que es imposible jugarlo.

Richard Garriott’s NFT-based MMO, Iron & Magic, appears to have vanished already https://massivelyop.com/2023/05/26/richard-garriotts-nft-based-mmo-iron-magic-appears-to-have-vanished-already #RichardGarriott #IronandMagic

@scy@chaos.social That's true, and it is a good initiative. However, from a games' and gamers' perspective, the challenge the put forth is not ideal, and in most cases not doable.

Like those I mentioned, it's not possible to heal your enemy… and even if it is, who would do that in a game.

They want to challenge FPS gamers to do this and that, but FPS is not an RPG. In games like Guild Wars 2, we do have training dummies, and automatons. Those are the NPCs we kill to test our new build. But, again, it's RPG.

Hmm… I remembered a game made by legendary #RichardGarriott called #TabulaRasa. It is a third-person shooter set in an RPG world.

In that game, while it is all about shooting like any other shooter games, because of the RPG elements in it, we role-played based on the story. We did not shoot innocent NPCs. We did not blow up buildings even though we can. And yes, we did heal an enemy.

All because the game mechanics allow it, and the story is about humanity.

By popular demand (thanks to @vga256), have catalogued "The Official Guide To Ultima" into #TheVideoGameLibrary.

Both the 1st and 2nd Editions are listed. Everything you'd ever want to know about the saga circa 1992.

What's your favourite #Ultima game?

AKALABETH, the name AND locale was stolen from #Silmarillion?

Good lord, #RichardGarriott and #Ultima are really fucking unoriginal, aren't they

I'm building out a "West Marches" campaign for my OSE kid club. I'm totally stealing the idea of Moon Gates from #RichardGarriott / Ultima III! #borrowing #derivativefantasy #ttrpg #ose #osr

Also, Jesus was probably just the avatar of this simulation's bored programmer.
I mean, just look at what happened to #RichardGarriott's #LordBritish in #UltimaOnline. ;)

#LifeIsASimulation

'The original PC88 (and a few other versions) of the early #Falcom RPG #Xanadu has artwork of the shopkeepers that is literally traced from the manual of #Ultima III... As the story goes, #RichardGarriott visited Japan to see about licensing some of Falcom’s games for American distribution, but when he found about the plagiarism, he was furious, and the deal fell through. Subsequent releases of Xanadu... have totally different art for the shopkeepers.'
