Tabula Rasa Interview

The Game Musketeers has published a short interview with NCsoft's April Burba, in which they chat with the Tabula Rasa community manager about the team's upcoming sci-fi MMORPG.
Q: I love sci-fi themes and can't believe that MMOG's with a sci-fi premise haven't caught on or been more successful. What innovations will TR introduce to to hopefully break that deadlock and usher in a new era of sci-fi MMOGdom?

A: I guess it depends on your definition of successful. I hear Eve has over 100K players and SGW had even more than that. Has there been a WoW level of success Sci-Fi game yet? No but I am not sure that it has anything to do with the genre.

The TR team feels like we have reached the last days of the first evolution of MMOs and are embarking on a new evolution where you play the game, not the interface. We also want to help reduce the pain of alt-itis with our Character Cloning system and Ethical Parables. You shouldn't have to play the first 5 levels a zillion times just to try out different leveling paths.
