First, I would like to introduce myself briefly. I am Designer in MYTHOS develop team, and I will be '˜Sage' in MYTHOS world. That's why I named myself as Alboos for Developers Note.

I know that many gamers are waiting to play MYTHOS. The reason why we didn't give out any news for such a long time is because we wanted to wait until we are able to open the most accurate information.

Right now, MYTHOS is in good condition where it's being reconstructed to become more suitable as online game. We are trying to keep the strengths that the game used to have, and make them even stronger, while eliminating its weaknesses.

As many of you already know, MYTHOS has come from . We are trying to inherit those thing you enjoyed, and loved about Diablo, and put more contents for more exciting multi plays.

Our current developing plan is focused on how to make the game enjoyed by you and your friends, colleagues, and family.
