Behold the long lost prince, heir to Diablo’s throne
Mythos is probably still under NDA, but I’m too lazy to check. I doubt Bill Roper reads this site, anyhow. Besides, I have nothing but nice things to say about the game. Like Hellgate: London, Mythos is an online action RPG from Flagship Studios with heavy Diablo influences, but Mythos is a genuinely great game, even when measured against its lineage. Headed by Travis Baldree, creator of the excellent FATE, Mythos combines character customization and loot pornography with Rogue-like dungeon crawls and MMO sensibilities. The game is currently in Beta and a recent megapatch has revitalized my interest in it, adding tons of new enemies, greatly improved graphics, faster leveling, improved skill trees, better itemization, and new superunique bosses (pictured below). Basically, it plays like a whole new game.
It’s still not clear what form Mythos will take upon release, everthing from a free download with a small monthly fee to a full-fledged, in-a-box-at-Gamestop release have been grinding around the rumor mill. Regardless of how Mythos ultimately turns a profit, I’ll be there. If you haven’t signed up for the beta yet, now’s the time to do it, as new waves of invites are being sent out to coincide with this new patch. Additionally, I still have a couple of beta invites left, should anybody want them.
Finally I get a first reply. Eat that vector black. Gimmie a key too.

Got some ping spam, there. This is the future we’re in.

I hate ping spam. They used to hit my old blog all the time. Anyway, did you get me e-mail reply?

Okay, I’m going to turn off pingbacks now. It was fun while it lasted.
LadyGuardian,
Yeah, I got your reply, although I didn’t realize it until I read your comment here. The way Gmail handles e-mail replies always confuses me. Someday, I will open up the options and see if I can change it.
Hahndog,
Mike Brustttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

I think you should turn on unregistered commenting.
Comment by vector_black — October 22 [2007] @ 1:54 PM
I think I should just remove all registering restrictions on the forums, seeings as how they’re a lost cause anyway, and just let the bots run wild.
Comment by wedge55 — October 22 [2007] @ 6:01 PM
ok, my gmail account eagerly awaits an invite to the new crack :)
Comment by LadyGuardian — October 22 [2007] @ 7:56 PM
You didn’t get an invite at your openalpha.tv address? I sent my last invite there. It comes straight from Mythos, from the name “betatest,” if I remember correctly. If you didn’t get it, I’m sure one of these other boys can you send you one of theirs AKA Mike Brust will do it.

Aww, what a waste. I guess my spamsentry killed it :(
jenn@OA gets a few thousand a day and I’m actually about to close up that address for good. I’ll have to pick a new e-mail when I restart the show. That’s why I use gmail as my primary personal account.

How much of that is legit mail?
Comment by vector_black — October 23 [2007] @ 3:27 PM
these days? maybe 4 a week.
Comment by LadyGuardian — October 23 [2007] @ 6:41 PM
MY MAIL WAS ONE OF THOSE 4!
Tomorrow I’m going to yell at Mike Brust until he sends you an invite. Or you could just use my account, because despite what this post suggests, I don’t actually use it. Vector_black knows my password.
Comment by wedge55 — October 23 [2007] @ 7:03 PM
It’s true. I know it.
Comment by vector_black — October 23 [2007] @ 9:24 PM
got the invite! Downloading now. Sucks that I have a test tomorrow. Gosh, I wonder which I will spend more time on?
Comment by LadyGuardian — October 25 [2007] @ 2:06 PM
Vector_black is using my account now to PK noobs.
Comment by wedge55 — October 25 [2007] @ 2:35 PM
Got your account banned from griefing. Sry.
