Mythos Guru

Thanks goes to MyG member FlashBloodletter for the heads up. The official Mythos website is reporting that they are now limiting the Closed Beta of the game to people in English speaking countries (or more correctly countries that have the same publishers, as the other countries all have different publishers and different localised versions).

While this may be annoying to some of you, don’t fret too much, as localised versions of the game in those countries will hopefully appear soon too, so you can play on those and in your own languages.

If you are a member of Mythos’ Closed Beta Test, we hope you’re enjoying the early taste of our free-to-play MMORPG. And we’d like to reassure you that the closed Mythos Beta continues apace.

In fact, things are going so well we’ll soon release Mythos to a much larger audience — we’ll open our doors and our test. However, before we can truly call our Beta open for business, a few things absolutely must happen. The top of all our lists say the same thing: “Who gets to play?”

Please understand that the Mythos Closed Beta Test was designed for English speaking audiences (North Americans, really). When we do open our Beta, we simply cannot have certain countries playing a semi-functional Mythos designed for territories that are not their own. These people won’t be getting the ideal localized experience we intend. Furthermore, we do still need to establish distribution deals with third-parties in foreign lands to ensure Mythos gets published and supported in the absolute best way possible.

Because of this, this week the Mythos Beta Test will no longer be made available to the following countries:

Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, India, Japan, Cambodia, North Korea, South Korea, Laos, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Mongolia, Macao, Malaysia, Nepal, Philippines, Pakistan, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, Vietnam, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, Latvia, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan

We sincerely apologize to you if you currently reside in one of the above listed countries and can no longer play Mythos. We hope you understand that this is very much a test and has always been a test.

Thank you for your patience. If you feel the need to vent, please send an email our way. Your plight won’t fall on deaf ears.

Enjoy…. I guess
