Since he used [quote][/quote] its not that bad. Especially when its not illegal to do so.

That said, I think its hilarious you found this tiny little pocket of the world (Myth community).

Hey uberrig, glad you joined in!

Amazing you found sillek's unauthorized post! Nice!

Do you play Myth II?

I tried going to "inviteogly.org" but it doesn't appear to exist - is there a different url?

[The Elfoid_TFS]

I doubt he plays Myth - he'd have sounded more personal.

He musta googled it to see if his stuff was used?1

[sillek]

An old typo.. http://www.inviteonly.org/

And hello uberrig O_O

[uberrig]

The url recently posted is the way to find IO.
No I don't game more than flash or windoze hearts.
Yes, I googled my nick uberrig just to see what would come up.

So far nice enough site,
Cheers

Myth's more than a game and a game like no other :O

Yeah uberrig - you might really get a kick out of Myth II - you can still buy used/new copies of the CD in various forms from various places including Amazon, eBay, and various game CD sites.

We recommend sticking with Myth II. Remember that there is a different CD to purchase for the PC versus the Mac.

You can just purchase the Myth II CD by itself, or in packages such as "Myth II: The Total Codex", "Myth II: Worlds", "Myth II: Green Berets". Green Berets is the only plugin/mod I know of currently that is not freely available (i.e. you have to buy Green Berets to get it legally). The other packages contain extra plugins but many of them have been modified since the release of the CD's and are all available publicly.

Here's a link at Amazon to the Myth II CD by itself (for the PC - from $0.79!!) to give you an idea:

There are a TON (literally 1000+) plugins/maps/mods that you can download for free, giving you an almost endless amount of gaming variety. We've added a few of these ourselves. The Mything Links section on our site is one of the most comprehensive available - check it out sometime.

Let us know if you have any questions about it and we'll be happy to help you out.
