Mythos Interview: Travis Baldree & Max Schaefer

Ten Ton Hammer has a new interview with Flagship Studios' team members Travis Baldree and Max Schaefer. Mythos, the upcoming free-to-play MMO is currently in the beta stage of development and the interview focuses on several features included in the game:

Q: Is there a limit to character slots? Will players be able to buy more slots?

A: There will be a high limit to character slots. Right now it's 24. We may make character slots available for purchase, but as Mythos is a free game, you can also just make a second account.

Q: Talk about ingots some. How will you introduce items that are good enough that players want to buy them while still making sure that players who do not spend money can get the best items in the game? Can you give us an example of an item that we might purchase with ingots?

A: Every day we come up with new things that players could purchase. Our rule of thumb is that it should be cool, but it shouldn't be necessary. And we won't just sell the cool items. The sort of things we'll sell are potions that give a boost to experience, or a shared account stash, or cosmetic items that make you look cooler than anyone else. Down the road, we'll add guild houses, hopefully player housing, but that's the direction we're taking. We don't think that buying the coolest items is fun for anyone. We want you to have to earn your loot, whether you're paying or not.

Good interview so check it out.
