Who's who at BlizzCon: WoW Insider's guide to the staff of Blizzard

Everyone going to BlizzCon this year will get to roam around the convention hall with some of the very people who bring you World of Warcraft and other Blizzard games. While many World of Warcraft fans might be familiar with the online pseudonyms such as "Drysc" and "Tigole," very few probably know what they actually look like.We've searched the internet high and low for pictures of these folks and have compiled them into a nice and handy gallery complete with some biographical information. The pictures are small and mobile enough that they can be saved to an iPhone or other mobile device that can be brought into the convention hall.
If you happen to be going to BlizzCon be sure to stop and say hello to these Blizzard people. And if you aren't going, check out WoW Insider during the convention for the latest and greatest reporting right from the floor.

Hm, I recall seeing a pic. of Bornakk, he looked like Abe Lincoln or something. It was a while back, but I remember seeing it on Wowinsider

According to a Google image search, this is Bornakk:

I don't like the visual style of these people.

WTB Ghostcrawler, she's done some very nice work with this expansion when it comes to communicating with the community :)

Sure, if you don't consider the "This isn't a deli where you get to order up what kind of bread you want on your sandwich." one...

I thought Nethaera was a chick.
Hanako Oct 8th 2008 12:20PM
She is...and so's the picture /wince

I wonder if being one of these guys is enough of a celebrity to get laid by WoW groupies.

in support of your hypothesis i would like to submit rules 15. On the internet, all girls are men, and all kids are undercover FBI agents.
and
16. There are NO girls on the internet.

Where's Koraa? :(

So am I missing something... or is Tigole not going? I don't see a picture but it's mentioned in the article.
Warigami Oct 8th 2008 1:06PM
Tigole is Jeff Kaplan.
Azshan Oct 8th 2008 1:08PM
That'd explain it. Thanks Warigami!

Actually Drysc is no longer involved with WoW. I posted a topic about him on the offical forums and my topic got deleted. He hasnt posted in 3 months either.
Xavier Rivera Oct 8th 2008 1:38PM
Yep, he moved over to the Diablo 3 forums and changed his name to Bashiok.

OMG....I suspected but forced my mind to pretend it wasn't true.
My spare time is filled playing a game run by total freaking no-life tosser geeks and slimy, dodgy corporate types.
That's it, time to stop playing games designed, coded and run by people who are classic losers who got lucky that they weren't run out of the village by people carrying torches.

Reason to threaten to quit WoW by idiots #3301: the designers are ugly.
They look pretty normal to me, what did you expect everyone to look like they are straight from a TV sitcom? Even if your post was meant to be sarcastic, it is pretty insulting and incredibly stupid.
