thread_title:  Do not copy text from copyrighted sources 

message: Added in info from interviews with staff like Richard Garriott, Starr Long, and April "CuppaJo" Burba. Tried to keep it to the essentials and thus didn't include all aspects of the game. Any suggestions on what else to add?

:: So far I havent heard or read anything about most of the 4th tier classes, yet most of them have been filled in even though they have no citations to back up these claims, so I've marked the section as needing citations. Any got that info? --Tao of tyler 02:29, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I believe the tier tree depiction in the article needs a redo. The current one is too crude and most unlike an encyclopedia article, and while it is useful in the case of providing a rapid update, I believe it is possible to do a better one now.

replies: text: I've changed the tier-tree to prose and have been using information now available at the game website about each class. I've only gotten up to tier 2, so if anyone else wants to help, please do. Just keep in mind that lists are frowned upon, so avoid them and try and maintain the style of prose that I have started. --Tao of tyler 22:53, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure if this is an issue between the two listed wiki's in the external links here, but in either case, either of those seem to be based on the other one...?
Just look here: Weapons @ tabularasawiki.org vs Weapons @ tabularasa.wikia.com. The articles are carbon copies of each other. Both sites are linked to from this article, but is one just a successor of another abandoned wiki, or are we simply looking at some massive copyright infringement? (in that case, it would be a matter between those two sites to resolve, obviously) If it's one being the successor of the other, then I think only one of the links (the more updated one?) should be listed here, and why I bring this up on Wikipedia. — Northgrove 16:39, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  European release date? 

message: Background
The background (as well as the "lore" section of a lot of MMOs) doesn't tie into the game well. Can some pleae explain how the background ties into the gameplay? For example, do they Eloh appear in the game and what kind of role do they play? Do they make any appearance? A few sections could be clearer to, such as why the thrax waged war on the Eloh.
Logos
What does it do? How about some examples. The section says it's equiviliant to magic in other games, but magic isn't always the same.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.222.250.130 (talk) 22:08, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I am not sure if this should be included in the article. But I think its a honor for the game itself as of NCsoft. Sarah Morrison who is one the characters on the box art, was included in the Playboy December 2007 issue of Playboy's Annual Girls of Video Games. Playboy's Annual Girls of Video Games. If any editor doesn't agree to add this into the article post a reason why and etc. then Ill just keep the topic here. --҉ რɫՒ◌§ 9¤ ॐ 22:21, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Bot report : Found duplicate references ! 

message: All of the scuttlebutt I've been reading online suggests that the closing night of the game saw a final defeat of the enemy forces, not a total destruction as the various cited news sources reported.  The cited sources are all pre-closing news articles, none of them were written from a post-closing perspective.  I'd edit the article myself, but I can't find anything suitably legitimate enough to cite.  If this game did close with a bang that meant the heroes won, that's notable given how many MMOs shut down and just shut off.

replies: text: There is no "canon" story ending really. On Centaurus the EU one the devs (as the evil Neph aliens) were gloating about how humanity would be subjugated and world taken over etc over chat in the last few minutes, but some of us mentioned the Penumbra Omega Device (a "planetbuster" kind of missile doomsday device) and that we were gonna make sure to take them all with us... but on the official rgtr.com website (click the american flag at topleft) it mentions us "returning to earth" and a more positive note, and apparently in at least one of the Earth instances it was all clustered around Phi wormhole with flying glowing lumins and fireworks and dancing. So yeah, endings to please both realists and people who hate unhappy endings ;) --Kittins floating in the sky yay (talk) 13:47, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Closing section needs updating 

message: I've removed this:
"Richard Garriott is not the only person that NCsoft has upset but NCsoft's own game developers as well. http://t-machine.org/index.php/2009/11/02/online-games-as-a-billion-dollar-business/"
because - as the author of the referred link - I feel the description and context are incorrect and potentially damaging both to NCsoft and to myself.
It's great to have people linking to stuff I've written, but I'd greatly prefer NOT to have it implied that I'm involved in litigation with NCsoft!
If someone wants to re-instate the above text with a more balanced description, in a separate section, that would be great. 81.151.172.141 (talk) 21:36, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mis-characterization of linked resource under "Litigation" 

message: This line: "It is also possible that Garriott may sue for rights to the intellectual property as well as a settlement to reopen and sustain the relaunch of the game servers under a newly formed game company as a measure of good faith to the original subscribers and investors." has no basis outside the mind of whoever wrote it.  The citation pretty thoroughly explains why this will never happen.  It's also just plain mean to create false hopes.  Thus I changed the line to better reflect the cited source. --146.6.203.87 (talk) 23:47, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Litigation 

message: I couldn't quite figure out exactly what this line at the end of the intro section was supposed to mean.
"Tabula Rasa closed on February 28, 2009, with servers slated to become free to play on January 10, 2009, but were set as three weeks earlier by the developers."
Perhaps my reading comprehension is a bit off, but never-the-less the line is worded a bit screwy. As the line reads, the game was closed at the end of February, and then set to be free to play 10 days later? And the part, "but were set as three weeks earlier..." really threw me. Best I can tell is that the servers were supposed to be free Jan 10th, but were made free 3 weeks before that, then shut down on Feb 28th. Anyway, someone who knows more about the game and what happened should probably clear that up.98.215.128.112 (talk) 17:23, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: This still has not been corrected.  The anon user above apparently misapprehended the month names (it CLOSED February 28, but was announced to go free-to-play FORTY-NINE DAYS EARLIER, not "10 days later").  The final clause is ungrammatical and unclear; we can guess what the contributor meant, but we should not be required to do so.  Since it has been nearly two years without a correction, I am deleting the final clause.  If someone knows what it was "supposed to say" and can write it correctly, feel free to replace it. 12.233.146.130 (talk) 20:06, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
