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."
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."
Massively: The last time we profiled Mythos on Massively, it was in service of some new content. It's no surprise, then, that Frogster is once again expanding the free-to-play hack-and-slash MMO. This time the new bells and whistles can be found on the Fog Island of Horror, and in case the name didn't drive the point home, it's a pretty scary place.
