Mythos Preview

Games Radar has tossed up a preview of the upcoming MMO Mythos, noticing it succeeds at being accessible and fun, rather than just drudgery.
Mythos is designed to be a very accessible game. Its ease of use perhaps came about because it was originally created just to test out the networking tech for Flagship's Hellgate: London. But having seen its potential as a full game, its creators have built it into something already very promising, even at this closed beta stage.

The overall philosophy on Mythos seems to be to create a fun, worthwhile MMO with the human factor at the forefront of consideration. Flagship intend it to be sympathetic to your lifestyle, not to hijack your every waking hour and force you to take the game on as your lifestyle. To that end it is being designed for quick and easy '˜jump in, jump out' gameplay as and when the player feels like it, a life sentence of 24-hour grinding most certainly not part of the equation. Rejoice friends, as you may never need to poop in your socks again.
