	Mythica - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In December 2003, Microsoft was sued for trademark infringement and unfair competition by Mythic Entertainment, the developers of the competing MMORPG Dark Age of Camelot.
		Mythic claimed in the lawsuit that the terms "Mythic" and "Mythica" were so close as to cause consumer confusion, thus infringing on Mythic's trademark.
		Some commentators said at the time that the cancellation was evidence that the (English language) massively multiplayer market had become saturated, though World of Warcraft, released in November 2004, subsequently became the most popular MMORPG to date with over 6 million users as of February 2006.

	Encyclopedia Mythica - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When a deity known only in the stories of one small island is labelled 'Polynesian', that gives the reader the mistaken impression that the deity concerned is known in all Polynesia.
		Encyclopedia Mythica has a muddled entry for Kiwa, a Māori guardian of the sea, who is male, calling him 'mother of all shell-fish in Polynesian mythology'.
		When a new species of crustacean was discovered in the South Pacific, the researchers involved used Encyclopedia Mythica as a source, meaning that the error was propogated by news media and scientific websites all around the world.

	Executive Producer Matt Wilson opens the gates of Mythica for an inside look - PC News
		When Mythica was shown at E3 in Los Angeles in May, the din naturally associated with the event was increased by the sounds of jaws hitting the floor.
		Mythica is a deep, involving and amazing vehicle that is slated for release in 2004, and could be one of the titles that not only resets the bar graphically on the MMORPG genre, but redefines the rules of game play.
		Matt: Mythica was never designed as a "Viking simulator", or, for that matter, even as a "Norse mythology simulator." We did feel Norse mythology made for an absolutely rich and compelling foundation, as have other modern fantasy authors and designers — it’s the basis of everything from Dungeons and Dragons to Lord of the Rings.

	News - Mythica cancelled // PC /// Eurogamer
		Announced just prior to E3 2003, Mythica was conceived as a new breed of MMORPG in which players take on the role of immortals in the mythological world of Norse gods, embarking upon epic quests to earn their place in the stars.
		After a rigorous review of current and future projects, the decision was made that Mythica would not be one of the projects we would continue to invest in," he wrote.
		It looks like he won't have to worry now, although the 40 staff impacted by Mythica's cancellation may not be so lucky - MS will try to re-home them on other projects, but a number of jobs may now be lost.

		The game's most intriguing feature is its "private realms" technology, which will make carefully generated areas available for exploration by individual players and small groups of players, rather than forcing everyone to share a huge public area.

	CD Baby: MYTHICA: Dangerous Little Monster
		MYTHICA takes the listener on a musical roller coaster ride through time and culture by applying the Celtic tones of the violin and whistles, the 3,000-year-old sound of the hammered dulcimer, the familiar comfort of the acoustic guitar, and the electronic sounds of the 21st century.
		The musicians of MYTHICA have been classically and professionally trained in their instruments and/or studied music at the University of Delaware.
		MYTHICA's musical and lyrical influences range from the classical composers Beethoven, Mendelssohn and Rachmaninoff, to classic rockers Elton John, Led Zeppelin and Simon and Garfunkel, to contemporary artists Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan, Dave Matthews Band, Massive Attack, Victor Wooten, Radiohead and many others.

	RPG Vault: Mythica Interview, Part 1
		August 01, 2003 - Announced toward the end of April, Mythica is Microsoft Game Studios' in-house persistent state world, a project that seeks to distinguish itself in a number of ways.
		We didn't want to be just another game that mimics all of the same mechanics with a different IP; we wanted to provide engaging and different gameplay both in the moment to moment and the long term.
		We wanted to make sure that Mythica appealed to that sensibility, but we didn't want to just produce another cookie-cutter fantasy world in which all of the familiar elements are re-named for the sake of originality.
