The latest chapter in the saga of the free-to-play action MMO called Mytheon features a lengthy quest across a vast ocean and two continents -- and that's before a player even logs into the game. In a press release dated earlier this morning, Texas-based UTV True Games announced the relocation of Mytheon development to its internal studio in Beijing.
"Moving the development of Mytheon to our internal studio is a very positive move for the game because we have total creative control over the title and we can tailor Mytheon's content to the preferences and needs of the community that has already grown around it," said UTV CEO Jeff Lujan. Some of said content tailoring is taking the form of improved guild functionality, camera controls, and tweaks to the various stones and stone types. For the uninitiated, Mytheon players are referred to as Stonecasters after their ability to combine and cast magical stones in battle.
In addition to the studio move, UTV has announced that a new closed beta phase will begin in late January. Previous testers will be contacted via email and will be able to use their existing accounts to access the new phase.

After all the development problems this game has suffered, I suggest it be renamed Mytheon Forever.

Development in china?
That is terrible news :/
I was quite happy to learn a few hours ago the development was going on, and UTV took the baby in their own hands.
now, i'm disapointed.
Their chinese studio is capable of nothing!

Considering nobody bothered posting to their own forums for the last few months to the point even the fanbois stopped posting on the offical forums, I'm suprised this game was even still going on.
Then again maybe this move could perhalps just be a way of avoiding any potential legal problems which might occur if they fold before release after accepting tens of thousands of dollars from what might be considered naive players who fell for what some might say is a scam in terms of their 'Founders Offer'.
