GamesRadar has interviewed Max Schaefer, with a quote entitled “We just wanted to whack skeletons with clubs”. Such is the simple premise of Mythos, a game that’s incredibly fun not in spite of, but due to its overall simplicity and straightforwardness in design. Here’s a snippet from the aforementioned interview:
GR: Mythos is a rarity in the MMO sphere in that it’s completely free of subscription fees. What brought about that decision? Distaste for the current publishing model? The need to compete in a WoW-dominated market? Something else entirely?
MS: We’d like to think we’re clever enough to have made up this model, but the truth is that it’s become the dominant business model in Asia, and is quickly coming to the US/Europe market. Certainly, it’s foolish to compete directly with WoW, but even if there was no WoW, we would still be moving in this direction. We like the model because of the low barrier to entry. You don’t need to go to a store, buy a box, and commit to payments on a game you’re not sure you want to play. We are confident in Mythos, and confident that people will want to participate after they’ve tried it out.
Ripper McGee has developed a news widget for Mythos that’s available on SpringWidgets. The news widget an embeddable, customizable news feed that’s compatible with a variety of different websites.
The Mythos News Widget contains RSS feeds to the official Mythos website as well as fansites, including our own, that you can easily subscribe to here. Feel free to follow our feed link, or if simply by enter your e-mail address on the entry form on the top-right box of our website to receive Mythos updates in the mail on the fly.
Hello readers! Whatever website of ours you belong to, be it Hellgate Guru, Mythos Guru, or Demigod Guru, you have probably heard that we have had IRC channels set up for each of our websites.
Today, we have decided to set up a brand new network called AxisIRC, after a group decision between the staff members of our various websites and community leaders to provide an improved service over the old network.
The services we will now provide will include hosting a multitude of gaming channels, easy channel registration, nickname registrations and most importantly, a strong potential for growth, in terms of both channels and users.
To connect to this network, simply direct your mIRC, HydraIRC, Trillian or other IRC client to the following address:
Server: irc.axisirc.com Port: 6667
Currently active channels include:
#HellgateLondon
#Mythos
#Starcraft2
#Champions
#Demigod
Allakhazam has published a new feature of Mythos entitled “Mythos: From a Player’s Perspective“. The new article serves as a nice introduction to some of the game’s features, especially to players who aren’t yet in the beta test. The article includes introductions to the game’s Character Stats, Talent Trees and Crafting. Here’s a snippet:
Character Stats
Strength directly affects overall damage and is a measure of physical might; Dexterity affects hit ability and dodge ability; Vitality is a measure of the players hit points and Wisdom, which impacts the overall mana pool available to the player.
To further augment the player in the course of their characters leveling, which is currently capped at level 50, players are also given achievements for different things done during the course of adventuring. Everything from killing x number of insects or undead to breaking open a specified amount of crates or boxes will grant the character additional enhancements. Each character has 5 slots total for their achievements which can be mixed and matched at any time with no penalty or cost to switch.

After a bit of forum downtime today, the site changes announced yesterday are now complete and the Hellgate Guru and Mythos Guru forums now share the same domain and user base. I’m happy to say that all of your accounts, posts, polls and other information from the Mythos Guru forums have been fully retained and carried over to Hellgate Guru.
You can still use the old forum URLs to enter the two sites (hellgateguru.com/forum and mythosguru.com/forum). The front pages also remain as before (hellgateguru.com and mythosguru.com) and they too will be seeing some upgrades, though no further mergers are planned.
We hope you enjoy the new combined forums and if you have any comments or questions don’t hesitate to ask.
MythosGuru recently shifted to a new server, and some of you have been experiencing some difficulty in accessing the website via MythosGuru.com without the “WWW”. I’ve since dealt with the problem but the forum’s been backlogged by about a week because of a database issue. I’m resolving that issue as we speak, so the week’s worth of posts won’t be lost.
GamePlasma has written a preview of their experiences in Mythos with some positive things to say about the game. Here’s a snippet:
Flagship Studios may have caught flack for its problems with their last title, Hellgate: London, but this time around they can’t go wrong with something they are giving away for free. The free to play model for MMO’s will only become more prevalent as companies try to compete with World of Warcraft. Hopefully, Mythos will be able to target the audience that has been looking for a new action RPG to take up their precious time.
We are proud to announce the launch of the Mythos Calculator.
The Mythos Calculator is packed with all the skills available in the latest build of Mythos (Zone 3). You can even save your personalized build and share it with friends through our calculator’s dynamic linking feature!
Thanks to Matt Hall, Vincent Viau and Tim Fevens for all your diligence and hard work in making this possible.
Mythos Guru was founded early in 2007 as the first fansite and forum ever dedicated to Flagship Studios' online game, Mythos. It caters to an international base of players and guilds. Following in the footsteps of its predecessor Hellgate Guru, Mythos Guru shares a proud tradition of sponsoring and organizing community backed projects and events, and a powerful skill calculator.
