Blizzard did lose a few key people around launch (not sure if it was technically after they shipped, as he says above). Most notable was Mark Kern, credited as "Team Lead" in WoW. He's now one of the co-founders of Red 5 making a game to be published by Webzen. Not to mention the closure of Blizzard North right before WoW's launch and the departure of a lot of key people from there.

I find it interesting he says "none of which were designers" in the quote above. I would think programmers would be the ones you want to keep when you have uptime issues like they have had. ;)

My thoughts,
