<div style="text-align: left;">Two weeks before the launch of NCsoft's latest MMO, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/tabula-rasa/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Tabula Rasa</span></a>, Massively had a chance to sit down and chat with the game's producer, Starr Long, in their <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2007/11/02/a-visit-to-ncsoft-austin/">Austin offices</a>. We discuss <span style="font-style: italic;">Tabula Rasa</span>'s past, present, and future -- including a first glimpse at the game's ambitious expansion plans. So what's there to look forward to in Tabula Rasa? Alien-human hybrid races, a major expansion a year (each featuring an entirely new planet), and major content patches every few months. Need to know more? Keep reading!<br /></div>
