Greg Ghostcrawler Street lead systems designer for Worlds of Warcraft announced today that after six years of working at Blizzard Entertainment he will be leaving the company. During his time with Blizzard Greg was responsible for a lot of monumental changes in the game. Some were popular, some were not. To Greg's credit he was never afraid to try new things or take the heat if those things didn't work. If something in the game just wasn't up to snuff Greg would be one of the first people to point it out (you just can't beat trolls to the punch). Aside from his many contributions in game, I think the greatest thing that Greg ever did was make himself available to us. Good, bad or just down right trolly, Greg listened to what we all had to say on twitter and responded to us. He did it with humor, he did it with style when most game developers wouldn't be interested in hearing what gamers have to say and I respect the hell out of him for it. Thank you Greg for all the wonderful things you added to the game we all love and for listening to us bitch. Best of luck with whatever comes next and you will be missed.
