For those that don't know the story, Mythos as part of the once booming company Flagship Studios was set to be released as the first adventure RPG MMO. Unfortunately, things at Flagship began to stutter when their "flagship" title, Hellgate: London, flopped out of the gate with technical bugs and a myriad of other problems. Mythos, while actually a sound game (I was in the beta), was never able to make it out of beta due to Flagship Studios having to sell off all its own assets and close down."
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.

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."
