Richard Garriot's Tabula Rasa - Beta - support is a joke - Overclocked E6300 cpu is too slow !

[foolish501]

Thought i would share this with others.

Yesterday i got an email from nc soft with a beta key for tabula rasa. I installed the game, and waited until 5pm for the server to be up, and logged in and setup a character.

When i would enter the game i would get an unhandled exception error.

So i emailed support, sent them my dxdiag info, and then got this reply :

Kinda funny that they say an overclocked core 2 duo e6300 cpu running at 2.4Ghz is too slow, and yet in any benchmarks the cpu would beat the minimum & recommended cpu's

Dumb level 1 tech support.

You sure man? you sound pretty foolish.

That can't be... my Q6600 runs at 2.4Ghz on each core and (edit: played) I've Tabula Rasa with no problems.

Sounds to me like they just looked at your computer spec ignorantly rather than actually trying to diagnose your problem. Blame level 1 tech support. Try e-mailing them back and explaining that they are stupid.

A 2.4Ghz Core 2 is going to slap a 2.5Ghz P4 around like a small dog.

Eh, Tabula Rasa isn't worth your time anyway. But yeah, their tech support is retarded.

I agree with that 😛. Unless I missed it somehow, they don't even have the color black 😕.
