With the coming of 2008, every gamer wants to get a quick update on their favorite game and what sort of course that the development team is taking. The Ten Ton Hammer staff is equally as interested in the future of every MMOG, so we've been eagerly communicating with developers around the world. One of the first updates we have for the new year focuses on a game that was one of the last released in 2007: Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa. Cody "Micajah" Bye and Tony "RadarX" Jones sat down with TR's community manager, April "CuppaJo" Burba, to hear about NCsoft's plans for that game.

Long ago, in an MMOG far, far away, two men emerged from the depths of a website to immortalize themselves on the cards of an Online Trading Card Game. Ten Ton Hammer's own RadarX and Coyote were selected to appear on 2 cards in the Forsworn expansion of Everquest II's Legends of Norrath.

Spearheaded by TR's community manager, April "CuppaJo" Burba, the Tabula Rasa developers have once again responded to a single question, this time centered around the post-launch player antics, and the developers answers are again extraordinary.

MMORPGslave scored an exclusive interview with Tabula Rasa Mission Designer Wynne McLaughlin who discussed their gaming roots, the technology and tools running things, and a lot more. If you are interested in the people behind the game, this interview is a fascinating read that personalize the developers for you.

In the jam-packed arena people call the MMOG marketplace, there's rarely a time when a developer can come out and simply say that players should buy their game. They may list all the pros and cons, but it's not often that someone gives them the opportunity to speak their mind on the product they've created. But Ten Ton Hammer, being a benevolent network, has granted that wish to the Tabula Rasa development team.

Gamespot has put together an interesting Q&A with Tabula Rasa Producer Starr Long discussing various aspects of the impending launch. Starr talks about mission completion times, the first expansion, and much more in this interview.

GS: What aspects of the game do you think will resonate most with beginners or more casual players? What aspects will appeal most to hardcore players?
