Mytheon Open Beta Starts Today

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

Mytheon Open Beta Starts TodayThe mytheon open beta has started today. Mytheon many compare to be a diablo 2 like loot system.

What the developers are hoping will set mytheon apart from the hundreds of other mmo out there is their new style of game play. Most games have a normal set of players skills but instead mytheon gives you power stones. These can be upgraded, traded, collected, and they constantly have different powers. It reminds me a lot of the old ff7 meteria in the game and how you would level them in combat. I haven’t tried the game out yet but this seems very familiar to it.

Also another great way they are getting people to play the beta is the great gifts players can achieve. From laptops, to ipods, to gift cards, this beta giveaway has a lot of great gifts for players.

Blizzard Bans 350k D2 and WC3 Players

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

Blizzard in a surprise move today banned more than 350,000 players of both diablo 2 and Warcraftcraft 3.

Most all these players where banned for using 3rd party programs not as intended. This will be a great thing for those diablo 2 fans that started hating the fact every game had a RMT spammer or a hammerdin bot. As for warcraft 3 it will be somewhat nice to play the old school battles without someone using a map hack to see where you are. The ban was said to also be permanent so no one can actually dispute it which more than likely means they have a new way to detect players maliciously using software to their advantage.

This might be another way for activision to make more money on players as well some have said since they are going to be needing it since infinity ward is no more. The only silver lining for some cheaters is if they where banned for cheating and this is their first offense then they can play again after waiting 30 days.
