: Actually, my first post was two years ago: first post .
: At the time I was writing a story for MWC2k, prior to
: being morphed into the MWC2k organizer. I finished the
: story but never got to post it all, being too busy
: handling scheduling complaints and other crap. :)
: Eh, no worries, I was being sarcastic in my reply. Heh?
: :)
: Here's the situation: lots of people would like to see
: Myth 4 (or a fixed M3). But two things stand in the
: way. First is Take 2 owning the license. To ever make
: a Myth 4, a developer or independantly wealthy shmuck
: has to either A.) Buy the rights to Myth, which will
: weigh in at 1 to 3 million (best guess); or B.)
: convince Take 2 that Myth is worth investing in, and
: work a deal with them to publish the game, in which
: case they retain the license and just foot the
: publication bill (and development if they're feeling
: generous).
: So a few weeks back PlayMyth announced that they had
: their hands on the Myth 3 code. That got me wondering
: why anyone would bother: after all, the only one that
: stands to benefit financially is Take 2. Why not just
: do Myth 4? So I talked to a few people and was given a
: bizzare picture of the situation, which I summarized
: above.
: The thing of it is, I think Myth 4 should be done. TFL
: and SB weren't worth putting in the Library of
: Congress, but they were pretty damn good. On the other
: hand, Myth 3 was a hack job story-wise. The levels
: might have played well (I still don't know, I'm using
: Windows XP), but they lacked the fire of the previous
: titles.
: I think I can put it back. So I've been working on a
: story. Hell if it'll ever turn into anything, but why
: not? I know the story better than MJ ever will, and
: I've read the Black Company through twice. Chancea re
: nothing will ever happen, and I'm one of many that has
: the same thought process. I, on the other hand, don't
: just think I can par Bungie. I know it. :)
: Will it turn into anything? I don't know. Damn if I'm not
: getting excited about the possibilities.

I would like to see Myth 4 as well. I would be happy to help in anyway I can possibly do. Probably can't do much though. : D I would like to help in the story, since I do know the Myth story very well and have a good idea of what theories (such as filling gaps or adding to the story) make no sense and contradict Myth and what theories are good or at least not bad. Many might say that all of us do, but there are many times that some fellow Myther comes up with a theory of their own, which sometimes seems to make little or no sense... of course not all of the theories I have heard make little or no sense... some are quite interesting.
