Tabula Rasa was a Sci-Fi MMORPG from developer Richard Garriott. Taking place mainly on two distant planets, it featured humanity's stand against an alien race, the Bane. The game blended third person shooter type gameplay with more traditional RPG elements, including a multi-pronged skill tree and PvP options. The game failed to attract enough subscribers, and went free to play for a short period, before closing in late February 2009.
