Allen Adham, Frank Pearce, and Michael Morhaime started Warcraft. So I would say them, so to speak.

The original Warcraft strategy game was probably thought up in a meeting. They got together, decided a fantasy game was what they needed, then brainstormed. It wasnāt one singular person.

Well, an Orc warlock stumbled out of a burning legion portal and his body was pretty much done for. He possessed one of them and wrote it all out.

Some say heās still getting coffee to this day.
If you listen to the wind through the trees you can still hear them saying āI said soy milk you idiotā
Thatās because he is. They forgot to tell him when his internship ended and now its been too long so its too awkward to bring it up.

Look up the developers if youāre so interested.
Thereās always the WoW Diary by Mr. Staats.

I was going to say Gary Gygax, but that works too.
Also, thereās an undeniable influence from EverQuest that brought Jeff Kaplan and Alex Afrasiabi over to bring the concept to market, as well as other notable MMORPG players at the time.
Thereās a pretty big gap between Gygax and what WoW is, though. Gygax was all about storytelling and characters, and heaped a ton of scorn on āmonty haulā gaming, which is what WoW has become.
