Mythica Canceled

Published 12 February 04 08:18 PM | mitchw 

It was announced today that Mythica, a MMORPG with touches of a RTS in it, has been canceled.  Here is the announcement found on the home page

“Our goal with ‘Mythica’ was to create a truly innovative massively multiplayer online role playing game.  While the game looked ready to deliver advancements to the genre, after careful evaluation of the MMORPG landscape, MGS has decided to stream-line its portfolio, making fewer investments in this genre. After a rigorous review of current and future projects, the decision was made that Mythica would not be one of the projects we would continue to invest in.”

That's really a shame because it looked like it was going to be quite entertaining. 

Here's a link to a video shown at last year's E3

Release the source, im not joking.

This would be a win win for everybody. The community can run theyre own networks.

If its going into the dustbin, I dont see why this should not be done. Its great PR also.

Jack, please don't use the [MSFT] tag, it's fine if you don't want to use your real name, but don't do so in a way that make it appear that you are a Microsoft employee.

Thanks.

something goes wrong the dialog creation will fail awayway, and
it will be handled there
