5 Years of Myth
5 Years of Myth
Five years ago, Bungie released the Myth: The fallen Lords demo, giving many gamers their first Bungie.net experience. In celebration of this event, Mariusnet is hosting a party. Conner Writes:
To help celebrate the occasion, Mariusnet is hosting a P A R T Y ! ! ! BYOB - but be sure to swing by here to check out all the details. Turning five is no small feat, so we'll be celebrating the night of Friday November 8th on thru all day Saturday to make sure our European Mythers can join in on the fun. We'll be running another Co-Op challege that was so popular for the Mariusnet One Year Anniverary (details to come), and we hope to see some long lost friends.
<sniff> seems like yesterday. Our kids are growing up so fast...
The Myth Vault Forums
The Myth Vault Forums
Update: Achronos has informed me that the Myth Vault Forums will not be coming back. The traffic there died out months ago, so there is not much of a need for them any longer, especially with the spiffy new bungie.net forum system.
-Big Bad Biker Momma
I know this isn't used much, but the server running the Myth Vault open source development forum is offline. It is being worked on, but I have no ETA. So, in case you were wondering, that's why you can't get to the Myth Vault forum.
Orders For Myth?
Orders For Myth?
Myth.bungie.org is reporting that Team Marius.net and MythForums have teamed up to support Orders for Myth and Myth II on the Marius.net server. Now wouldn't it be helpful if we had a global account system shared between Bungie and all fan sites? Psyrixx thinks it would be.

MythForums.com Site
I just noticed an interesting site I hadn't seen before,
http://www.mythforums.com. This site is providing a service to those without their own web tools, a mission dear to our hearts. If you have a Myth-playing Seventh Column chapter you may want to consider getting a forum for your chapter hosted at their site, since we don't have them here (yet!).

Korean Myth Fan Site
A great new Myth fansite has come on the scene,
http://www.mythfansite.com. There's one catch--it's all in Korean. Once you get past the language barrier there's a lot there to see though, so be sure to visit. (Thanks to

Myth II Server Shut Down
Myth II Server Shut Down
Last night the Myth II game server was shut down once and for all. Some of us at Bungie met each other there, and met some of our best friends there. We too shall mourn it's passing. Yet we hope the seeds of friendship so many Myth players have planted will grow and someday blossom.
There is already an alternative server at
http://www.mariusnet.com where you can play Myth and Myth II online. Since we released the source code there has been a great deal of activity at The Myth Vault (
/site/3) developing additional 3rd party servers. And of course there's the Seventh Column (
/site/2), a site to help you maintain your circles of friends. We encourage all Myth players to participate in these projects and sites and help us build Bungie's future community.
Myth Vault Overhaul
Myth Vault Overhaul
Two big announcements today: we're officially shutting down the Myth II metaserver on the 15th, but we're also open sourcing the server code. To help people that want to develop and run their own servers we've overhauled the Myth Vault, finally shutting down the old web server but adding a site that we hope will become the heart of the Myth server development community. Even better, this site is home to Bungie's first ever forum! Nothing too fancy just yet, but be sure to read the top story above and check out the site.
