Total Codex at the Ministry Of Security has been pondering what the move to GameSpy for Myth III's online play will mean for the Myth community. He points out a number of differences in the way that system works compared to the old Bungie.net:
I have a Mac, so therefore I have no Myth 3 yet. However, what is obvious is that GameSpy does not require a CD key to register an account. Instead, you use your email address. This leaves many questions unanswered, as well as a few fears. For example: dummying/dropping - you can technically make accounts just as fast as you can reload Hotmail's web site, so what's to stop people from totally abusing the ranking system? As far as admins go, are there any? Even if there are, if a person can make an unlimited number of accounts, how would admins even make a difference? These are the types of questions that MOS is working on getting the answers for.
He also notes a few additions to their humor section.

Well duh
I could of told you this last week.
I seriously doubt ranked will happen now that MJ has been fired.
I do hope though that the patch (which is coming soon i hear, which makes sense since Friday is their last day) makes GS even usable ;)
It keeps crashing in the lobby, and takes opengl down with it.
