Starcraft.org recently visited Blizzard Entertainment's headquarters in Irvine, CA for the US Media Event that announced the Zerg.
Along with this, it gave them a chance to capture the new Blizzard campus and share it with the rest of us. So, if you've ever wondered what type of dungeon your favorite Diablo developers went to work at each day, or where your least-favorite WoW GM is every day - look no further!
Excerpt:
Blizzard Entertainment. Even their name has become a symbol of excellence in the gaming world. From their earliest days of lesser-known gaming worlds to the penultimate game universes of Diablo, StarCraft and WarCraft gameplay and quality have been the abiding factors throughout. You’d think this would extend just to their gaming wizardry, but even their architectural surroundings are given this fine appreciation. Without too much further verbose wordplay, suffice it to say, Blizzard has an impressive new campus for their employees. Those who had seen their previous layout, consisting of multiple floors of multiple buildings in a generic office park would best appreciate the leap in environmental and architectural advances their new campus brings. Sadly most of us don’t have this frame of reference, but I think all of you will still find their campus just as impressive and distinguished as you’d imagine.

Why did Bill Roper leave Blizzard?

An interesting interview was posted on Gamasutra about Flagship Studios and it's current projects. In Blizzard related news, Bill Roper talks about just why he left Blizzard:
"Our original intention back in 2003 was not to leave Blizzard...but with no long-term compensation or employment contracts in place, we wanted to be able to interact directly with the people making the key decisions that could drastically affect our lives and workplace.
In the end, Vivendi chose not to make that opportunity available and accepted our resignations over the matter.
The next day, David Brevik, Erich Schaefer, Max Schaefer and I started Flagship Studios."
They go on to talk about Hellgate: London and Mythos in detail. If you've got any interest in their upcoming games the article is worth checking out.
