Bungie has finally opened its new Myth site, titled The Myth Vault. The content is fairly non-existant at this point, but Bungie has setup some message boards for anyone who wants to speak their mind.

One of its first items reports that the Myth II bungie.net server will be permanently offline beginning February 15, 2002. Fortunately for Myth fans, Bungie has released the raw Myth II metaserver source code so anybody with the right skills can start a server of their own. This will open the door to new and innovative ideas, but none of which will ever truly take the place of bungie.net.

The source code is already available for download at The Myth Vault. Make sure you agree to the license document before you download the code.

If you don't want to be there when the big server takes the plunge, go ahead and head over to Marius Net and register for use of its server. Marius Net has been serving Myth TFL and Myth II fans for months already and is very stable, although it isn't based on Bungie's network code.
