Diablo, Mythos Vets Announce Action-MMO 'Torchlight': http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/58295
Runic Games was founded by brothers Max and Erich Schaefer, two co-founders of Diablo developer Blizzard North.

Since the dissolution of Flagship, all 14 developers that worked on the company's action-RPG Mythos have joined Runic. The studio has also been bolstered by the addition of Diablo and Diablo II composer Matt Uelmen.
:O Matt Uelmen does the musics, OMFG. I am really excited to hear more about this game.

Why fight Artificial Intelligence when you can do PvP and fight Natural Stupidity?

Never played Mythos, but this does look interesting. Might fill my dungeon hack void till D3 actually comes out.

Considering the void left by Mythos, I installed Dungeon Runners last night. What can I say, I still hate it! I love the humor but the camera model and gameplay just don't sit well with me. It's a bummer.

Dungeon Runners was good when it was in beta and you didnt have to pay for the premium stuff. I still laugh when I remember them going live with a game that was still half done at best. Besides...Dungeon Runners fails because the game is just too damn easy. When you can solo the so called hardest boss of the game in like 2 min there's something wrong.

Oh and yes Phaethon...it is I, the mighty Hollywood Bologna!

I just can't play it. The gameplay is horrid. Mythos may have been more or less a straight D2 clone, but that's what made it so good! It had brand new classes and skills, and all of the best parts of D2 wrapped together in one package. Sure it wasn't as dark and "cool" as Diablo, but it was still a fine game.

Mythos also was planning on premium content. I imagine that Torchlight will adopt a simular model, unless there's no free model planned at all (which would be a bummer!).

Oh, and yea... Dungeon Runners has a BANNER ad at the top of your game now too. So lame. Uninstalling it (again) tonight.

SP only is a real bummer. Apparently the MMO version of Torchlight is planned afterwords.. but I sorta want that now.

Yeah I know but still this looks like a great fun. Random dungeons and great priced I'd say. Good game to play and wait for Diablo 3!

Too bad no Matt Uelmen for D3. Diablo series has such a nice musics. Huge loss for Blizzard or maybe it's just for me :p

It's going to rock. I wish the MMO wasn't two years out though. Hopefully we get to the beta phase before 2010 is over!

This game is awesome value.

Pet is much better feature than I thought it would be. It can even cast spells if you give it one. Oh and it can go and sell your useless items too while you continue your adventure at the dungeon! So cool. I can't wait to play more tomorrow. I have that feeling what I got after playing Diablo 2 the first time. It's the greed to get more stuff, no other loot game have done it to me after D2. So awesome.

Between this and Borderlands I'm in loot heaven! This is better than even Mythos was.

My pet cat summoning Zombies and casting Silence is just phenomenal.

Consider me a definite for the MMO!

In some ways, yes.. but in others.. not so much.

Like.. for example: The marksman skill tree. I like how this system encourages some degree of variety/diversity, but I miss how ridiculously good the Mythos marksman skills are. I love the idea of a skill evolving to include new properties. In Torchlight, they split those ideas into completely different abilities. I'm not sure I enjoy that so much. There's also some features from Mythos that I'm sad to see them abandon, like the Mythos achievement system.. which actually unlocked character buffs and actively effected the gameplay.

But this level of polish is amazing, and in other ways the vanquisher is more fun! Plus... PETS!

Amazing game.. just wish it had a few more features.. like co-op.

edit: Oh, and I think it'd be wise to read up on some different builds prior to spending all your skill points. Every RPG should include the ability to respec in this day and age. I don't have time to experiment when that means starting over.

edit 2: Ooooh there's a respec potion! Apparently you can spawn it from the console without being labeled as a cheater too! Someone on the forums suggested that he was labeled a cheat though, so be careful! You can't use the shared stash or retire your character if you cheat.
