Project Magma is proud to release the first original gametype for Myth:TFL-- Ghôl Rugby! Having taken over 2 years in development and testing, Ghôl Rugby pushes the TFL engine to new limits, providing an entirely new style of gameplay. Not only is Ghôl Rugby a brand-new gametype, it's also the first original gametype in Myth history that is FFA-based-- Expect intense 4-way Rugby action!
The object of Ghôl Rugby is to get the ball into your goal, and score more points than your opponents. This can be done many different ways; In order to win, you will need to carry, toss, shoot and blast the ball into your goal with a variety of specialized units. Expect an all new colormap, customized units and scenery, and over 400 lines of scripting to make for very immersive and intense games . We've also included a handy, self-running tutorial version of the map, so you and your friends can learn how to play quickly and easily.
At only 3.3 megs, Ghôl Rugby is one of Project Magma's smaller plugins. Download it today at projectmagma.net and hit marius.net for some Rugby! For more information about the plugin, check out the Ghôl Rugby site.

MariusNet is reporting that the maintainers of the site, Conner and Marius, are going to leave their Myth 2 and Myth TFL server running, but will no longer support it or create new user accounts:
It's time for a new hobby. Conner and I have been putting in countless hours supporting marius net for a number of months now, and it's time to move on to other things.So, we've set up the server and web site to eliminate all support work. As a result, we will no longer be accepting new login requests. New users can sign on using the guest account, but will not be allowed to chat. They can, however host and join games and chat in game. We will also be turning off the game stats since that requires alot of effort to maintain.
The server will remain on as long as we have a free pipe, and the rules still apply, but Conner and I have no desire to spend our time on this anymore.
On a separate but related note, MWA and MythMaps.com have announced they will jointly run a Myth 2 server, and are soliciting C++ programmers to help.
Conner at Marius.net has posted that Marine Recon will be hosting an invitation-only Myth WWII tournament called 2002 Winter Offensive. Details of the tourney are at Marine Recon's site. It will be held on Sunday, February 24 and consist of four-man teams.
