Flagship Studios Interview

inWoW.de has conducted an interview with Flagship Studios' Bill Roper, asking the ex-Blizzarder several questions about his new game development studio and upcoming Blizzard releases like World of Warcraft. A snippet to follow:
Q: Does WoW having the potential to beat - later on - even Diablo 2 in matters of community? Or do you see danger in another game that could hand water to WoW? If so, which one is it? Maybe one of yours?

A: I think World of Warcraft has the potential to be a truly fantastic and well-loved game. Its look and feel is really something special, and one of the things I honestly miss about being at Blizzard is the opportunity to throw ideas and comments back to the design team because I would be playing the game! I think that the community it builds for itself will, in part, be shared with Diablo II, but I do not think it will supplant it because the two games are very different in concept and execution. What I hope for is that WoW builds the interest in the MMORPG space and that they send me a copy!
