Hello tribe! I've been MIA for a long time it seems. I miss the old times of playing FF with you guys! So life has been good, and a little crazy at times!

I recently left my job at Xbox in Redmond to move to Austin, TX 9 months ago to be the server developer for an upcoming MMO called 'Tabula Rasa'. If you guys are interested in playing I can arrange to get some beta invites for you.

Here's what I need if your interested (please PM this info to me):

- email addy
- first and last name
- plaync account name (create free at https://secure.plaync.com/cgi-bin/plaync_account.pl.)

Hope you are all doing great, I've been catching up on some of the forums and see lots of cool news (lvl 72 gets! grats!)

-projaru

Edit: Almost forgot, as of yesterday there is a currently a QA job opening on the TR internal team if anyone lives in the Austin area. PM me if you are interested.

Haha been a while man. See if you can get them to change the name to "Apocalypse Tribe: The Game". And then maybe we'll finally have a game like we talked about the last time you were around haha. Good to see you and congrats on the job man.

So good to hear from all of you! And FWIW I haven't forgot about our game. I have been continuing to work on engine and tool technology in my 'copius' spare time.

K got the PMs and going to submit them to our community lead. I really want to hear what you guys think of the game, I think you could really have some valuable input to the game.

Right now I'm mostly focused on eliminating lag and improving game play responsiveness overall. It's a huge issue. When you get a beta invite you also get into the private TR forums where you can read and post as much as you like. If you have any gameplay suggestions etc you can PM me or email me at jacobrepp@gmail.com.

It might take a little bit to get the invites sent out since they are sent in batches.

BTW my new xbox live gamertag is CipherXor, I've been playing lots of rainbow six vegas lately. What have y'all been up to? (as they say in Texas ;)

Downloading the game now!

Posted by: Oddies da Nerfed Aug 15 2007, 02:07 PM

Same. Hour lunch is just enough time to get it downloaded, have to give it a spin after work. Then see about leaving feedback to make this game kickass and chew bubble gum, even when its out of gum.



edit: boo limited play time =p oh well, ill break the options screen after work. I do like the subtle mouseover effect on options however.

Posted by: Knightsword Aug 15 2007, 03:27 PM

Yeah unfortunately it's limited now.. but hey we need time to fix bugs etc

I think the beta schedule is going to be opening up a lot starting this week.

My character is Cipher Xorz on US and EU shards.

Sadly at this point I think I may be the only one really testing still. Rest all wussed out it appears. Running around on Oddies Mojos most days, my almost 31 spy. Sofar I am enjoying the game a lot. Only real complaints/concerns at this time would be I feel a method to 'respec' needs to be added outside of cloning and leave cloning as a full reset for alternative tier advancement. Also stoping to swing blades is horribly irritating, especially if stuff decides to take off like a bat out of hell. Most everything else has been well documented on the forums or is already on the 'to work on' list. Have to see all the goodies the patch brings Thursday.

I'm having space issues myself, so I was unable to get it fully installed before my PC filled on me. :/

Sad that I can't even fit 4 effing gigs, ha

god i need a new pc....
