Mythos Developer Diary #1

The first in what will most likely be a series of developer diaries for Mythos is up at WarCry, with this initial entry covering the massively multiplayer action RPG's rune gates, crafting system, and achievements.
You will soon find that you're able to explore new area and dungeons by travelling through what are known as, "Rune Gates." Rune Gates are used to travel to new locations by resonating Runes you purchase from Rune merchants. Even the Rune merchants do not know where you will end up by travelling through these Rune Gates. The balance of all dimensions is broken from the impact of a chaotic state, which you will learn about as you explore the deep secrets of the Land of Uld.

Without giving too much of the story away, let's discuss Rune Gates. Dungeons of Rune Gates can be divided into two different types - normal dungeons and heroic dungeons. Normal dungeons are easy for anyone to explore; you will be able to acquire standard treasures in normal dungeons. However, you may need to risk your life in order to fully explore heroic dungeons. They are very difficult with incredibly powerful monsters waiting to destroy you. Expect to have some close calls in the heroic dungeons!
