The Houston Chronicle printed an article yesterday regarding MMO games and their new aim at the less than hardcore. While the authors conclusions make this sound like something brand new (World of Warcraft came out a long time ago), they do at least mention a number of feautres Tabula Rasa has.

Tabula Rasa includes a feature unique to MMOGs: character cloning. In Tabula Rasa, players have the option to make a copy of their characters while they try out a particular path. If this doesn't tickle their fancy, they can use their clone to go another way, without starting from scratch.

We'll forgive them also for saying "tickle their fancy" because I'm pretty certain that is illegal in the state of Texas. You can find the entire article at the Houston Chronicle site.
