NCsoft announces that Tabula Rasa is in stores, and the blank-slate MMORPG from Ultima creator Richard Garriott is now live. There's an article-format Q&A with Mr. Garriott on the New York Times discussing the launch and there's also a Q&A with UI designer Christofer Strasz on GamingHeaven. The announcement came yesterday (a day early) so here is an excerpt, carefully aged for timeliness:

AUSTIN, Texas, November 1, 2007— NCsoft®, the world’s leading developer and publisher of online computer games, announced today that Richard Garriott’s Tabula Rasa®, a massively multiplayer online (MMO) game for the PC where players are thrust into an exciting intergalactic struggle, launches commercial service in North America and Europe on November 2, 2007.

“Now the fun begins! I can’t wait to join thousands of other players in this exciting galactic war,” said Richard Garriott, the game’s executive producer. “It is time for us to release Tabula Rasa to the players. I am eager to see player reaction to the game, and am ready to build on what we’ve started here. We’ve got plans for new features and expansions for the foreseeable future and I’m hoping the players will enjoy the game and get excited about what’s in store for them next!”
