Flagship Studios, the developer that insists that they are still in business even though they have zero cash flow, has halted all development on their free MMORPG "Mythos". Possibly because developing free games isn't economically viable when you're broke.
Before Flagship Studios, there was Blizzard North. Originally known as Condor, the Redwood-based studio was acquired in 1997 by Blizzard Entertainment. At the time, Blizzard North was hard at work on the development of the game that would be the cornerstone of everything that came after: Diablo.
Hanbitsoft and T3Fun have announced that the open beta for their online action role-playing game, Mythos Global is now live. European fans can once again join in the action after Mythos Europe was closed down last year. Mythos is set in the land of Uld, a fantasy world arisen from the ashes of a dark and terrible war. Uld is a place where many different races live and where gods try their best to gain more power and influence among their followers.
DSOGaming writes: "Sad news for fans of MYTHOS, as Frogster’s community manager announced that MYTHOS Europe will be closing its doors on October 27th at 12:00 CEST (11am UK). According to the team, MYTHOS enjoyed great popularity with the launch in April and the numerous registered users ensured a good start. The desired long-term success unfortunately did not follow and under these circumstances, they have made the difficult decision to discontinue the operation of MYTHOS."
I was really waiting for this one, let`s hope it gets back up and running soon... :S
Pretty obous that was coming.
Halt? Cancelled seems more like it.
Mythos should have been Hellgate, it actually looked a lot better.
who needs mythos anyway with diablo 3 ... too much focus on the wrong product (hellgate) and too little to late (d3 coming soon/someday)
