Kudos to MWA for answering my request to make the Pepper Heights .tag file available so that Mac users can download the map, which was previously only available in .exe (Windows executable) format. Now that it's .zip compressed, the download is only 3 MB.
You can download Pepper Heights at MWA's map page or just click here.
Nate Birkholz posted a Myth III status update for the Mac in the Myth Village forum. It says:
Yes Myth III is being worked on; Bill Heineman has been working on it for a couple weeks now, along with Chris Jacobson.The A-level bug list remains the same, but progress has been made.
Changes have been rolled in from the forthcoming PC patch.
The installation guide at Marius Net has been updated with Mac OS 7/8/9, Mac OS X, and PC specific instructions for installing Marius Net for Myth II.
Strike of MWA saw a few Myth II maps being played on GameSpy today. Inquiring about this, a Myth III designer told Strike that a classic map pack is in the works. The maps that are likely to be available in this download will be:
In an effort nothing short of amazing, Team Marius Net has announced support for Myth II: Soulblighter. All you have to do is download the files and install them using these instructions:

Rumor has been confirmed; the Myth III team was dissolved on November 2, 2001. Andrew Meggs wrote a long post in the Myth Village forum addressing some key issues about the team and Myth III:
Nate Birkholz has posted a link in the IMG forum that shows two images of the Myth III in-game GameSpy browser working on the Mac. (Thanks Myth Village)
Myth III got another positive review, this time at GameSpot UK. Scoring an overall 8.2 out of 10, its strongest point was the graphics while sound and gameplay struggled a little bit. GameSpot closes up and appropriately indicates that patches could seriously benefit the game:
Nate Birkholz from Macsoft updated the progress report on the Mac version of Myth III over at IMG's message board. Basically, it's likely the PC version .1 fixes will be in, but at this point it depends on who finishes first:
Zandervix posted the History of Myth and Glossary sections of the Myth III manual in the myth.bungie.org Asylum forum. Now that's a lot of readin'...
MacSoft, publishers of the Mac version of Myth III, has finally added Myth III to its product page. Nothing new there, but ignore that because all that really matters is we can expect to see Myth 3 in stores in November. (Thanks Myth Village)
