Tabula Rasa,

a massively multiplayer online

(MMO) PC game that explores the destruction of Earth –

is now venturing into space to save humanity.

During the campaign, Tabula Rasa players have a chance to have

their DNA sequenced, digitized and sent into space on the Immortality

Drive. In addition, all players with active accounts on September 2,

2008 will have their Tabula Rasa characters uploaded to the

device, giving them the opportunity to go to space virtually. In order

to make this unique opportunity accessible to as many people as

possible, free trials of the game are available at http://www.rgtr.com/trial.

Garriott will place the Immortality Drive on the International Space

Station when he travels there this fall.

“I’ve been able to

do some very exciting things in the games business, but nothing of this

magnitude,” said Garriott, executive producer

for Tabula Rasa at NCsoft. “I’m

thrilled we can offer the once in a lifetime chance to millions of

gamers to virtually go to space with me. A select few will have their

DNA digitized and sent. And, theoretically, if anything happens to the

human race, it could be their DNA that is used to resurrect

humanity.”

Starting today and lasting through August 31, 2008, anyone with a PC and

an Internet connection can go to http://www.OperationImmortality.com

and participate in weekly polls on humanity’s

greatest achievements which will be included on the Immortality Drive,

such as “What is the greatest song of all

time?” and “What

is the greatest technological breakthrough of all time?”

Current Tabula Rasa players, or those who download and play the

free trial, will also be able to enter a personal message for inclusion

on the Drive.

“This is your chance to leave your mark,”

says Garriott. “While everyone can

participate in the polls at OperationImmortality.com,

Tabula Rasa players will be the only gamers in the universe who

can say that a piece of them is in space, since we’re

sending their in-game alter-egos, and for some, their DNA, to space with

me.”

Tabula Rasa, which launched November 2007, is an intense,

fast-paced, sci-fi MMO PC game that puts you in the middle of the

never-ending intergalactic fight for freedom against a hostile alien

race called the Bane. Players use high-tech weaponry, alien powers, and

the help of other Allied Free Sentients (AFS) soldiers to rid the

universe of the Bane threat.

With frequent free updates to players, the game world of Tabula Rasa

has grown significantly since launch. Upcoming features to the game

include clan-owned Control Points, new missions, and Personal Armor

Units.

No purchase is necessary to participate in Operation Immortality, with

free trials of Richard Garriott’s Tabula

Rasa available at http://www.rgtr.com/trial.

The game is currently available at most major retailers and at the PlayNC^®

store. The retail box includes the first month of online game play.

After the first month, players will be charged a monthly subscription

fee of US$14.99. The game is rated Teen by the Entertainment Software

Rating Board.
