Meet Bill Roper

Meet the Team - Bill Roper on the Champions Online Website adds
Cryptic's new hire to the roster of employees so profiled. for
those looking to crack wise, the conclusion of his description of his résumé
kind of beats you to the punch: "I’ve been in the industry for just over 14
years. I started by doing voice-over and music on Blackthorne for Blizzard
Entertainment and then moved onto Warcraft: Orcs & Humans to create the world
fiction, write the missions, put together the manual and basically everything
and anything else they asked of me. Over the next 9 years I worked on the
Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo franchises and did everything from design to
production to working with outside developers and leading internal strike teams
to press, marketing and eventually becoming a vice president. In 2003, I started
Flagship Studios (and later Ping0) with the core team of people that created
Diablo and we put out our first game, Hellgate: London, in October 2007. We also
were working on a casual online MMO called Mythos when we had to close the
studio in July 2008. I’m looking forward not only to bringing what I’ve learned
from the numerous successes I’ve worked on to Cryptic and Champions Online, but
also what I learned from the failures."
