IncGamers.com reports that Bill Roper, the former lead on Diablo II (and other titles), has joined Cryptic Studios to work on Champions Online as the design director.

He comes from the recently dissolved Flagship Studios, a company he founded in 2003 with fellow ex top brass of Blizzard North (creators of Diablo I and Diablo II) where they produced Hellgate:London. Previous to that Roper worked at Blizzard North in various capacities but mostly as producer on their trio of franchises (Warcraft, Diablo and Starcraft) and among fans he is also well known for orcish voices in the WarCraft series.

Roper said he was looking forward to working on the �compelling IPs that have rich histories such as Champions and Star Trek�.

John Needham, chief executive for Cryptic said Ropers �years of gaming and online experience are huge assets to all of our projects.

We wish all the best for Bill Ropes, and are happy to see that Hellgate: London didn�t bring him down.
