New Server Opens Today! { Zandervix }

Okay, here's the deal. Yesterday's news post about the patches still don't work. The post from MythMaps has been deleted, there is no sign of the patch over at MythWA, and PlayMyth is now on restricted access. The basic story is this: You won't be able to download and register until after the server opens later today. Here's some news from around the community:

This comes straight from the mouth of Blades Ollivia:

On Thursday, April 25, 2002 at 5:00pm, PlayMyth.net will unveil it's first edition Myth server. This edition will support Myth 2: Soulblighter for online gaming. This server will be opened in the tradition of Bungie.net complete with:

1. Ranked and Unranked gameplay.
2. Separate ranking systems for classic, third party, and combined maps.
3. Support for Orders including ranked play for Orders.
4. Web-based viewing of ranking leaders for individuals and orders alike.
5. Technical support from a friendly, knowledgeable staff.

This is the first step in PlayMyth.net's support for the entire Myth series of games. Later this spring and into the early summer, PlayMyth.net will be producing a new server for online Myth 3 gaming followed closely by support for Myth: The Fallen Lords.

To play on PlayMyth.net's game server, you must download the new version 1.1 of the PlayMyth.net patch/plugin. Get these on the PlayMyth.net web site or at MythMaps.com beginning the afternoon of the 25th. You will absolutely need this new plugin to connect to the PlayMyth.net server.

We look forward to serving the community for many years to come.
This was posted over at MythWA:

The new Myth II server PlayMyth.net will be released today. It has been in beta for some week now, but the beta test accounts have been cleared out and new features have been implemented. Everything should work now.

The grand opening starts at 5 PM CST. From that time and on, you will be able to register accounts on PlayMyth.net and download the final installer. Important: Your old beta installers won't work.

Remember that you won't be able to register with Hotmail and other 3rd part emails. If your ISP hasn't provided you with an email, then you will have to contact us (will result in slower registration process).

Registration/PlayMyth.net opens:
CST = 5 PM (25th)
EST = 6 PM (25th)
Brazil = 8 PM (25th)
GMT = 11 PM (25th)
Rome = 12 PM (25 th)
Moscow = 2 AM (26 th)
Sydney = 8 AM (26th)
So there you have it. At the appointed time go to PlayMyth and get set up. Oh, and by the way, if SB isn't your game, tonight is TFL Night over at MariusNet.
