Yes, alot of people have heard about Mythos and alot of people are pulling out their hair because they can't wait for the open beta. Now my thoughts are about if Mythos will live up to the hype and be the new Diablo. It looks very promising, I would like to know your thoughts on the game and the future of it. And please, dont ask for invited for the beta, there are no more, if you want to sign up put your email in at www.mythos.com . Now post your thoughts :D

Mythos is made by Flagship Studios which was founded by the team that designed the Diablo series.  So I would guess they know how to make Diablo style gameplay. 

Looking back on Diablo's popularity from the past, and thinking about how no new games since has taken up that type of gameplay ever since, its almost a sure thing that the game will become very popular if they advertise it enough. It really has everything that the Diablo player was looking for, and last time I checked, there were many of those players, Mythos only needs to be publised more when it comes out of open beta.

It actually is a really great game in the style of Diablo. Its not dark like Diablo was, it has more of a cartoonish feel to it. But that by no means makes it bad. To call it a grinder does it injustice. Just like any MMO there are quests, crafting (while it has hundreds of ingredients it is pretty simplistic), and I suppose grinding if you want to, but by no means do you have to. It has faults like any other game, but is it the next Diablo? It's about as much Diablo as Titan Quest was to put it bluntly.

They have actually improved on a lot of things as well. The look and feel, skills, and even player involvement. Move invites are going out soon so anyone interested in testing out the beta should go sign up on http://www.mythos.com/

And thinking of the hype that its given already, AND ITS STILL IN CLOSED BETA. So just think when the gaming community will have an all access pass to it and will trully see how much of a 1up it is on Diablo II.

No. Not even close. It has a similar playing style, but in will never- and I mean never- reach the popularity that Diablo had.

One good reason why?

It is very possible it can become the new Diablo. All the reviews for Mythos have been positive and it is still in beta testing. For a free to download, free to play game Mythos is great fun. Been in beta since almost the very beginning and it has been a blast. I think people will enjoy it once it gets released to the public.

The thing that made the diablo games so enjoyable for me was the atmosphere and art style. Mythos' art style is radically different. However I am still anticipating the open beta to try it for myself.

Also, Mythos has 3 types of gaming styles. Normal, Elite and Hardcore, Hardcore being if you die you completely loose your char. With this in mind, it gives this game a very realistic approach and pvp daring aspect new to this genre.

If they make it like D2 or GW, as in pay and play with no monthly then yes, it can probably surpass D2 of today, but I doubt any game can surpass D2 of old.

I still play D2 now and then and the euro server can have anything between 20-60k players logged in, yes logged in.

Add the asia and US realms and we are looking at a game that is 8 years old and still have a player base probably only surpassed by WoW.

Back in the days that number could reach well into the 200k and upwards on each server, thats more players playing at any one time then most MMO have had active subs.

Mythos is indeed a lot of fun, it does not take itself to seriously and does not promise the world, wich is why I think it will succeed.

It is not the crazy addiction that D2 is though I think, the constant loot runs or whatever is not there, at least not as easy.

I could spend an entire day doing nothing but pindle/shenk runs and actually enjoying myself most of the time.

Mythos do not have that staying power.

I can't believe this is even being discussed.

Mythos is a great game, no doubt. I've been playing it since the Beta began, but it in no way, shape, or form can come close to what Diablo II was. It has some good gameplay, great graphics for it's game type, interesting races, and a good beta community, but gets repetative quick.

Diablo had a fantastic storyline rich with lore. Mythos has absolutely NO storyline what-so-ever. The entire game is about doing odd-jobs for other people, pretty much "x person has a problem with x monster. Go to x dungeon and go to x level to dispatch said monster"

Each quest uses the exact same dungeon, the only difference is the number of levels. Pretty much, in each zone you're doing the same thing over and over when it comes to the "main" quests. Then the others involve killing monsters to get an item or something. Getting good gear in Mythos means buying expensive maps from a vendor, and then revealing a location, in which you go to a duneon (which is exatcly like others, just different in some ways) and go and s
