NCsoft's Operation Immortality launches
Filed under: Real life, Sci-fi, Events, real-world, MMO industry, Tabula Rasa
Finally, the website for this campaign has been officially launched and all further details have been released. From now until August 31st, anyone with a PC and an internet connection (that's you) can participate in the site's weekly polls which will be included on an Immortality Drive, to be sent into space with Garriott. Not only that, but current Tabula Rasa players can actually leave a personal message to be included on this drive. Is this simply an outrageous commercial for Tabula Rasa? Sure it is, but has anyone ever done anything even close to this before for a game? Nope.

Thats pretty cool and I think sending DNA in space was never done before. ( I do known they send just a little with a explorer sat but its real long ago). Think about it ET get his hands on your dna and clone you!! :)
Still it does not make Tabula Rasa a better game!

This would have been a *perfect* time to reactivate canceled accounts for a bit, even if only a few days (and even if after, you had to resubscribe to leave your message). Oh well.

I fully support sending Richard Garriott into space for the TR disaster.
Wait, that is what this "project" is about, right?
*snicker*

Can they make it a one-way ticket for Garriott? That guy is a bit too happy with himself. Even with his track record.

I like the idea, but look at the poles! The first question I'm asked, i.e. the first nominee for the greatest "something", is "What is the greatest movie of all times?". Are you kidding me?! Out of all the things we have achieved during our six thousand-year-old cultural development, they want to know what the greatest MOVIE is?! This will become awfully embracing, awfully quickly if they send a drive into deep space with out favourite action flicks, punk bands and pornostars. Common, how bloody pathetic is this?!
In all honesty, do you really think that in case somebody, with the technology at hand, finds this drive, would they really recreate the human beings based on that information? Reminds me of a poll they ran in mid-80'ies. The greats human being ever came out to be Elvis...
