Given how quick it actually is to hop on the Eurostar and head on over.

From the 21st to 23rd September is the Festival du Jeu Vidéo in Paris. The guys from NCSoft will have a booth there, showing off both Guild Wars and Tabula Rasa.

On Friday 21st they'll also be giving a presentation and Q&A in the MMO village, about the upcoming new fantasy MMO from NCSoft - Aion.

Saturday 22nd will feature the final of the Guild Wars French Championship, with a showdown between Be Team [be] and The Last Requiem [RiP].

With the closed beta in full-swing, NCSoft have pushed out a cool-looking cinematic trailer for the upcoming Tabula Rasa. With beta testers describing it as a sci-fi third person shooter, it sounds like there could be a lot of good ideas hidden away there.
Two things are clear - the trailer certainly generates some interest in the game, and Lord British knows how to develop good games with compelling stories - and for MMOs, it's the back stories that really help immerse you in the gaming world.
