Nyrthos Announced

Independent developer BeerDeer Games announces Nyrthos, an action/RPG that will be playable in a browser on PCs and iOS devices. The Nyrthos Website offers some screenshots, and this FAQ with 10% more than the promised 10 questions and answers, saying beta testing and a release are both expected later this year. Here's an overview:
Nyrthos is an indie RPG action game that combines classic RPG gameplay with elements from other types of games.

We were inspired by genre classics like Diablo 1 and 2 or the Gothic series, but the result is different in many ways; we also added a lot of our own flavour to it.

The main point here is that Nyrthos is not “just a game” where you slash some guys to death, we like to think of it more like “the world” that you can live in; a secret, long forgotten place you can explore. A place that has its own history that is set in stone, but the future will be up to the playerbase to decide.

If they had made it in a different setting I might be interested. How come nobody makes a good cyber dungeon or something like that?

Because Tolkien ruined our imaginations.

The fact that Diablo and Gothic are considered RPG classics shows just how meaningless that term is.

Diablo's a great game but it's an action game. And Gothic... well, it tries hard. Baldur's Gate is an RPG classic.

We need a Mentos the Freshmaker game!
"Van Gogh painted alone and in despair and in madness and sold one picture in his entire life. Millions struggled alone, unrecognized, and struggled as heroically as any famous hero. Was it worthless? I knew it wasn't."

Nyrthos, Mythos, Mentos?, Path of Exile, Lineage Eternal, Torchlight 2, Diablo 3, Guildwars 2, Meikyuu Touro Legasista, Deathspank 3, Grim Dawn, ...

It's really all or nothing, isn't it! Oh wait, it is nothing, none of these are ever to come out until perhaps next year. (Probably Blizzard throwing money at them to stay quiet for a while) Holy cow, talk about sharing the pie that Diablo 3 is to take over! Good luck everyone!

2012 will be the year where Computer mice will have sold in record numbers. I will study to be a GP (Doctor) in carpal tunnel syndrome, I will retire rich.
