Get ready to frag some Bane, kids.

Tabula Rasa's release date has been announced, and it's October 19th. Much as other recent MMORPGs have done, NCSoft will be allowing pre-order customers to get a jump on the official launch by playing three days ahead of this date, so pre-order soon if you're going to.

NCsoft®, the world’s leading developer and publisher of online computer games, announced today that Richard Garriott’s Tabula Rasa® has reached gold master status and will launch commercial service in North America and Europe on October 19, 2007. Pre-order customers will begin their three-day head start on October 16.
