Successful MMO Myth of Empires has disappeared from Steam without a trace – nobody knows why

Myth of Empires has actually been available in Early Access on Steam since November 18th and was well received. But now it can no longer be found there. MeinMMO sums up the situation for you.

What happened now? After the successful launch on Steam, the game disappeared a few days ago, as reported from the subreddit of players. (via reddit)

For two days now, fans and players have been wondering why the survival MMO can no longer be found. Since then, there has been wild speculation about what might be behind this.

Why was it removed? We asked the PR responsible and will get a statement in the next few hours. We will add that to this news as soon as it is available. Until then, we’ll have to rely on some pointers from the community.

A post on the Steam forums claims to have found the reason on the Chinese forums. Allegedly, Myth of Empires was removed from Steam because another MMO reported the game for copyright infringement and it is now being investigated. (via Steam-Forum)

According to the post, this is the MMO Conqueror’s Blade. This also takes place in medieval China.

Myth of Empire is no longer on Steam – because of another MMO?

What’s behind it? What exactly was supposedly copied was not made clear in the mail. However, the players are amazed at this supposed reason, they see few similarities between the two games.

While Myth of Empire is seen as a survival MMO, Conqueror’s Blade mixes action MMO elements with the strategy elements of a Total War and is also partly reminiscent of For Honor.

Because of this, many fans do not believe that there is anything behind these rumors, as there was no official reason from Steam either. There is more speculation on reddit, but it’s hard to confirm.

The rumor goes around that even mining of cryptocurrency could be involved. A reddit user writes that his graphics card and processor are at 100% when the game is running, even if he ends the game. (via reddit) That can be checked using the task manager, which other players confirm.

But it is difficult to say what exactly is behind it and whether it is not just bad optimization. In any case, this assumption is much closer to most players than mining and they strongly doubt this theory. As one user writes, “There are a lot of people out there who can get these kinds of numbers in EVERY game on outdated machines, so suddenly trying to tell them,“ Oh, it’s a crypto miner ”is total bullshit. ” (via reddit)

Here is the note again: These are rumors and speculations from the community. As soon as we have an official statement on this, we will inform you about it.

What is Myth of Empires? It is an open world game for PC that is aimed primarily at fans of sandbox survival games such as ARK or Conan Exiles. The combat system, on the other hand, with its strategic approach is more reminiscent of hardcore games like Mordhau and Mount & Blade.

The setting in which you create your character is reminiscent of ancient China and, according to the developers, should be “realistic and historical” without a lot of fantasy elements.

The following features are waiting for you in the game:

• PvE and PvP modes
• Great sieges
• free development of the areas with settlements and fortresses
• NPC companions who support you in battle
• Extensive crafting system

You start with your character in any area and go straight to the first tasks. The tasks introduce you to the game and introduce you to the different systems so that you can slowly get used to the gameplay.

The MMO was able to attract thousands of players in the first few weeks and was able to collect numerous positive votes.
