Blues News posts the following announcement on a new incarnation for at least a portion of Flagship Studios, from which Bill Roper's name is conspicuously absent:
Seattle, Washington - August 8th, 2008 - The former Flagship Studios Seattle team is proud to announce their reformation as Runic Games (www.runicgames.com). As the team responsible for the highly-anticipated Mythos at Flagship Studios, Runic Games intends to continue to use their expertise in the Action-RPG MMO genre to create the best games in this market.

The studio is headed by Travis Baldree and Max Schaefer. Travis served as Project Director for Mythos at Flagship Seattle, and previously created the bestselling Action-RPG FATE. Max was the Executive Producer for Mythos, and one of the original founders of Blizzard North, the creators of the bestselling Diablo franchise. He was also one of the founding members of Flagship Studios.

Announcements about Runic Games' forthcoming projects will be made in the coming days.

This is great news. Not only was the Mythos team a talented group, with an ear always open to their fan base, but they seemed to be great people. I wish them all the best.

Our members are always on top of it. :)
I read a lot of the forums every day--in fact I've been accused of an unhealthy internet obsession ;)-- but I'm afraid I don't make it through every single thread.

Edit: Okay--I found the thread--sorry zyklop!
