    Default Mythos Europe Go BYE BYE

    Owing to a lack of long-term success, the decision was made to discontinue this MMORPG in Europe.

    It's always sad news to hear of MMORPGs going under, although this time around it's not as bad as an entire game being discontinued. In the wake of a lack of "desired long-term success," it seems like the decision was made for MYTHOS Europe to be discontinued, with the game servers being shut down on October 27th, 2011 at 12:00 CEST (11AM UK), and the forums being shut down on October 28th, 2011 at 12:00 CEST (11AM UK).

    The MYTHOS team also wants to make sure that their European players have a good send-off, so they've drawn out a timeline of events and plans for the next few days. Here are those plans:



    We want to make the last few days of Mythos as pleasurable as possible so try to send out all missing quest items by in-game messages! Just let us know what you池e missing here, by giving us the quest item name here. We値l then check if it痴 feasible to send these items, if it is, we値l set up a separate thread for all the requests.
    Effective immediately, it is no longer possible to buy Bones!
    Effective immediately, all servers have the maximum XP and Luck buffs!
    Over the next few days our community managers will be coming to the servers for the last time to help you fight the last monster invasion and supply you with powerful items! There値l be monsters-a-plenty and set-items, cash shop items and skill gems galore!
    The team is also giving out Runes of Magic vouchers to all users who have been active in the past 3 months, with those vouchers being redeemable for mounts, Diamonds, or both! Altogether, a rather sad occasion, but at least made a little classier by the folks at MYTHOS Europe. Good luck in the future!

    Wow thats horrible that this game is already being shut down. But what did the devs really expect when this game was once out a long time ago, and then disappears for like 2 years then they bring it back... just no hype or people wanting to play it because they played it 2 years ago... it got old for me... but honestly i really like the game but just forgot about it.

    Bad decisions by game hosts end up destroying the life of a good game like Mythos. Sadly it was inevitable, and maybe this company will learn from their mistakes.

    Everyone knows Tera EU will be hosted by Frogster. The players better hope to hell that Frogster doesn't ruin TERA like they have on many of their other games - one of them being Runes of Magic which is extremely cash shop dependent.

    Even though TERA isn't made as a Cash Shop based game, knowing Frogster, they might make it one.

    A real shame for such a good title, I played in back in the closed beta a few years ago and really liked it. A real shame it turned out to be p2p in some way even though it was a f2p game.

    not if they kept it exactly like the old mythos. that was fun, but they turned fun into grind.

    Biggest problem with Mythos EU was that frogster itself didn't develop/change anything in the game. They contacted KR version devs and asked them to change stuff for the EU version. This process was long and usually wrong.

    Also their community communication was crap since their "main language" was German and they rarely paid any attention to english forums, most info was never translated to english. In a nut shell, they had a good game running but they hosted it bad, really bad.

    P2P would not have been the good way to go with this type of game.
    Also going P2P would mean your competiting with WoW and loads of others and I highly doubt the game would have been able to get many subscribers at all.

    It's sad the game failed, hopefully people havn't lost jobs and moved to other projects within the company.

    who cares about the people in frogster lol, the game was from flagship/runicgames anyway and they dont have to worry about their jobs. i hope everyone in frogster get fired since they did a shit job so far.

    anyway if this was the good old mythos id gladly would have p2pd for it. or maybe a mix of free/premium like more bigger mmo's do lately. and i dont see how that would be competing with WoW since everyone already played WoW and is looking for something new, which mythos was.

    Nexon EU is making money yeah..but the company itself is crap.
    Not every EU company fails but most of them.

    i have to agree that mythos would be a success if they kept the old one
    BUT not p2p..rlly it was never build to be p2p. Even flagship used mythos
    as an f2p.

    best combo would be - old mythos + f2p + a good host = awesome

    people who think mythos was trash are those who never
    played the old one

    but T3 didnt fail with the f2p model and is not a crappy company like frogster...its more the game itself needs more updates and fixes. They just released tokyo. I think they are still fine
