Tabula Rasa did seem to be marketed poorly. Even the name itself, in my opinion, sounds very fantasy MMO-like, and I think that has hurt them from the very start.
I have to wonder if Call of Duty 4 has made the first significant change in FPS players' perceptions of RPG and MMO concepts. By tastefully introducing RPG-like elements (leveling up, finding/earning special weapons/attacks, etc.), I hope games like CoD4 are helping to break players of FPS games (and other genres) out of their design-think cliques and broadened the potential for better cross-marketing of interesting hybrids like TR.

I can't figure out why I like it, but I like it. And I have no problem with pretending to be an elf all day...
