Tabula Rasa: NA Release Date October 19th, 2007

I saw this on 4Gamer:

AGDC 2007］リチャード・ギャリオットの「Tabula Rasa」は10月19日に発売！
2007/09/06 18:38］

NCsoftが開発中の「Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa」。UltimaシリーズでコンピュータRPGの基礎を築き上げたギャリオット氏の手がけるSF MMORPGに，リリースのときがついにやってきた。ギャリオット氏自ら発表したところによると，北米での発売日は2007年10月19日。プレオーダー（予約）した人は，3日早い10月16日からプレイできるようになるという。

"Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa," currently being developed by NCSoft. Release day has finally come for this SF MMORPG crafted by Garriott, who helped to build up the foundations of Computer RPGs through the Ultima Series. According to a statement issued by Garriot himself, the North American release date will be 10/19/2007. Those who pre-ordered (reserved) the game will be able to start playing on 10/16/07.

And dismissed it (due to a number of unmentionable reasons.)

Apparently, I made another ass of me and you because now the news is all over the damn place except for the official boards themselves. According to 3rd party sources, NDA has been lifted as well at midnight last night...but of course, nothing official. Did Garriott get drunk at his own party and blurt out a couple things he shouldn't have? Or do they truly have the confidence to make this happen by then....

Hmmmm. More investimagations must be done!
