I don't think we're speaking of buying the rights as a whole, as in purchasing, exclusively, all of the intellectual property of the Myth franchise; rather, buying the rights to produce another Myth game, or whatever it is we may decide to do.
Oh, and to introduce myself if you've not already met me from the archives here: I'm Forrest, I used to (and theoretically still do, but that's just theory) run this place, and I've been babysitting Myth's story since the beginning of the fan community. I would love to be involved in some kind of a Myth universe extension, if nothing else in a storywriting context, although I have significant artistic skills as well. (I'm trying to break into game development myself). Unfortunately I am extremely pressed for time right now and have promised myself I wouldn't take on any new projects unless they were paid; but at the same time on such a limited budget I wouldn't really feel all that great about taking money away from things that might actually cost hard money just to compensate my time.
That all being said... whatever happens, I'd still love to be involved however I can afford. I really feel that if something involving Myth's story happens, I HAVE to be involved, to make sure we don't get another Myth III on our hands.
