Talk:Myth (video game series)

message: I removed the hl.udogs.net link since a better explanation is needed. A short entry could be put in about the role HL played on Myth - it has had much greater use of hotline servers than most games. hl.udogs.net and hotline.clanplaid.net also both work as hotline servers, not just web-pages - this neede detailing.
Someone write it up please

thread_title:  Hotline Servers 

message: I added a mention of Homeland under the listing of maps made by the group Creation.  This is more for consistency's sake for anything else, as it had been mentioned twice before in the article - once at the begining and another time under "notable creations" - alongside other Creation Games projects but not mentioned with them underneath the mapmaking group's description.  Thus, it's more or less for a reader who looks at those listings and says "Hrm, I wonder who made that..."  Now that reader can  find the answer underneath the mapmaking group descriptions.
That said, if it sounds like I'm harping the map itself, it's because I probably am.  I was the project leader of the Homeland map and would very much like it to recieve proper credit/documentation (it has been denied it before).  That, and I think it's pretty cool. :)

thread_title:  Small Addition 

message: Never heard of this, and google isn't much help. Are these guys actually notable? Do they have a website or any releases more noteworthy than the thousands of releases that have not been mentioned? I mean heck, lots of groups formed and promised to release stuff. I've been out of touch for a while so just wondering. Argyrios 20:08, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Things like this are exactly why I was against making a groups section in the first place... the level of detail into which it is possible to go here is a serious threat to the coherence and readability and balance of the article. I think a Community of Myth sub-article needs to be started ASAP so we have a place to dump all this info about mapmaking and whatnot. Argyrios 20:10, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  onyx warlords? 

message: I have started a page for this entry Myth gaming community. It is intended to discuss all the notable contributions of both editors of Myth and gamers, as well as to give a general history of Myth editing (mostly from a technical and not creative viewpoint) as well as the community's somewhat notable accomplishment of literally prolonging the franchise on their own, without a commercial backer. FieryProphet 20:06, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm really happy with the latest changes. I feel the main article is much more readable and coherent now. I took the liberty of moving a lot of community-related content and re-naming the new article to Community of Myth (computer game) Argyrios 06:09, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: And look at that, the WikiNazi's have deleted the page from probably a "lack of Notability".  We need to keep the Community content on the main page...  Also, perhaps some commentary on how the community has fallen apart? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 164.116.71.226 (talk) 18:10, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Upon reading the Total Codex Edition box, it seems some of the Myth games gained some recognition in so it should be list on this page...
: Yes the Myth games have won several GOTY awards, as well as all sorts of other awards.  GameSpot even labelled Myth:TFL/ The Myth Series, as one of the greatest games of all Time.164.116.71.226 18:13, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Awards Section 

message: I deleted the entire section on Myth IV because there were no citations and I'm pretty certain it was false.  Take 2 owned a 19.9% share of Bungie.  When Bungie sold to Microsoft, Take 2 got the Myth and Oni IPs in exchange for their ownership.  Any future Myth projects would not be tied to Bungie unless Microsoft buys the rights back.

thread_title: Myth IV

message: The list lacks many units from ALL the series (mainly the Wolf Age) and could do with its own article, as the above has proposed with others, with alittle more depth to it. User:Stabby Joe
I'm not sure how much detail is really required for units, really what we need once the games are split into separate articles is a summary of noteable units for each game. For example, a summary of basic units for each side, and maybe a few that are particularly original. A page with every single unit ever might be okay for someone who really wants to do it, but unit summaries on each page is a must, so long as it's within reason! Haravikk 11:07, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I have created stub pages for Myth and Myth II under this article, and added basic structure and infoboxes. Please help move contents and add relvenat additional information. I have not created a page for Myth III due to a spontaneous urge to in stead clean my apartment. When the articles are in good enough shape we can shunt their contents to replace the redirects in their proper articles.

replies: text: I'm redirecting those back to here, as no one has worked on them and they are nothing more than a infobox. If you want to work like that, use a sandbox in your user space instead. Pagrashtak 17:35, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Stub articles in place. Editing is open and on!

message: If Wikipedia has an article on "Myth: History in the Making" (an unrelated game by System 3 from around 1990, usually just known as "Myth") then a disambig on this page would be good. 86.142.150.182 (talk) 10:37, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Older Myth game

message: Now, as an ancient gamer (don't ask how old I am, please) I like Myst as much as the next guy. But this article is about ten times as long as the articles on Theory of Relativity and I just wonder... Is this really justifiable? I mean, seriously, does ANYONE need to know this much about a mediocre real-time strategy game that never really took off? I don't think so. I think a bunch of no-life gaming geeks got their hands on this and the article really need to be sized down to what is proper. Please cut where cutting is possible, remove what can be removed, paraphase what is paraphraseable and do it before someone else does it and makes it worse. --84.186.250.112 (talk) 20:55, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Sure it does.  I love coming to wikipedia just for the very reason that it has a lot of information about a lot of things that are not found elsewhere. Blackfeathor (talk) 08:29, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: @anonymous - Besides, if you knew more about this game, you'd have gotten the name right, and you'd know that it was neither mediocre, and it was commercially successful. Calydon (talk) 20:16, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Don't forget pointing out him mistaking the genre :) Also, while "Theory of Relativity" is terse, it is because it is a glorified redirect page, have you checked out the main article on General relativity? Tried to be disenginious but fell flat on your face... :D Still, I think the articles for the specific games should be split from the main, and this article should focus on the common themes. Miqademus (talk) 18:34, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Uh, seriously... 

message: I am up for writting a base article for further edits (usually C class) but only for Myth II given I know more about it than the first, the only thing preveting me is how to write the gameplay section as it would be similar to this one and an future Fallan Lords article.

thread_title:  Split 

message: Hi gaming geeks :D Does anyone remember if this is the game where the voiceover said "casualties, Casualties, CASUALTIES" louder and louder as more of your forces died? I really thought it was this game, but I see no reference to the awesome voiceover in the main article... and sadly Myth really won't work on Vista... no surprises there!--Linguistliz (talk) 17:38, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, this is that game, though I don't know that that really warrants mention on the article page. Also, plenty of people play Myth on Vista... make sure you're running the current version. --Pfhorrest (talk) 00:39, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Casualties... 

message: Will whoever keeps adding "speculated" names of unknown characters, cited to "unofficial sources", please stop. Unofficial sources are unencyclopedic sources, and speculation doesn't belong in an encyclopedia either.
Further, Googling for these names (the four unknown Avatara "Nelarn", "Numeril", "Phexios" and "Orlino"; the two unknown Fallen Lords "Rathras the Lord of Wars" and "Hrungunir the Rune Master"; and "Athla-Dahox" The Summoner) reveals nothing that's not a copy or cache of this very wikipedia article, so as far as I can tell they don't even come from some published mod or fan fiction; they're only being inserted into this article, which tempts me to call that deliberate vandalism and not just misaimed enthusiasm for some noncanon source.

message: I'm planning to do another split, this time with Myth: The Fallen Lords so of course do jump in and help and of course trim any information in this article that might only be unique to this planned one. Stabby Joe (talk) 16:11, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
