Champions Online Interview

MMORPG.com caught up with Cryptic’s Bill Roper for a quick interview about the Blood Moon event they’re preparing for Champions Online in celebration of this year’s Halloween.

MMORPG.com: What will players have to do as part of the event?

Bill Roper: There are four different events occurring during Blood Moon. Some of them are focused in Millennium City while others span the globe. The Zombie Apocalypse map can be joined from anywhere in the game via the instance queue. The BITE event can be joined in every area but Lemuria. The Takofanes and Dawn of the Dead events can be found within Millennium City. Some of the events happen on timed cycles, while others are always open, but can only be completed once per day.

MMORPG.com: Everyone loves ZOMBIES! How are they invading Champions Online?

Bill Roper: Zombies are heavily featured in both the Zombie Apocalypse, Dawn of the Dead Heroes, and Takofanes events. If you want to get your zombie hunting on, you’ll have a LOT of chances. There’s even a special perk for slaying a large number of them!
