In a move that isn't fooling anyone, the Flagship team has announced that the beta for their game, Mythos, is going to take a break.

Travelers of Uld,

We, the ancient elders of Uld are issuing this warning to all citizens and travelers. Hurry! The great darkness that once plagued Uld is returning. Everyone is ordered to close down their shops and prepare. We predict the when night is at its peak the darkness will arrive. The ancient elders of Uld will be leaving immediately in order to preserve the lore of this wonderful world. Citizens please prepare thyself and know that the elders will be back from their travels some day.

From the team:

We regretfully announce that on Friday, July 18, 2008 at 11:59 PST the world of Uld known as Mythos will be going on hiatus. On behalf of all of the Devs and Community team we want to say thank you to everyone for their support and assistance with Mythos Alpha and Beta testing and we will see you soon. The Mythos Team

This is nothing short of a sad story, and an incredibly hard time for those team members who were let go. The forums have been shut down , and we're all going to miss out on a fun MMO that went wrong long ago.
