Always wanted to join the fight yet was never lucky enough to be in Tabula Rasa's closed Beta? Don't lose hope now because the Allied Free Sentients is looking for more fresh recruits. If you've got the guts to take the fight to the Bane, plus any type of membership with FilePlanet (GameSpy IDs accepted), you can strap up for the trip to Foreas.

That's right. Anyone can join the newly opened Beta, even those who aren't residing in North America. The sky isn't the limit here though, because just like the closed Beta, access keys are limited. The Beta special offer on the other hand, applies only to legitimate residents in North America, so don't be too hopeful for the additional 10 days offered for free.

But of course, you've got to check if your trusty rig can handle NCsoft's Tabula Rasa, so we've provided the latest Beta requirements here for ease of comparison. Remember that you will need a broadband connection for the Beta, anything less could cause more frustration than losing outposts to the Bane.

If everything checks out, get your key while some still last, and meet up with us at waypoint Alpha. ETA in 10. Head to the promo page via the Read link below, then lock and load, ladies and gentlemen.

Thanks to Dave for the tip!

Been waiting to get your hands on NCSoft's upcoming MMO video game Tabula Rasa? Well, a report from IGN's VE3D.com might just pique your interest.

Reportedly, Richard Garriott's next massively multiplayer online game will be opening its beta doors to members of FilePlanet, a subsidiary of IGN. According to the report, there hasn't been any announcements with regards to when exactly this will happen, though they suggested an ETA of "later this month".

Interested? It wasn't specified whether the Tabula Rasa will be opened to all FilePlanet members, old or new. But at any rate, why not take your chances, right? What better opportunity to check out the game before it goes live?
