The team

The people behind WoWUtils

A small group of high-end raiders, building the raid tools we wanted for ourselves.

Today

Who builds what

Viserio & Penkek

Co-founders

They met raiding in <Pieces>, back when it was world rank 3, and have built this together ever since. Viserio kept the cooldown spreadsheets the guild actually used; Penkek said it should be a website and opened the repository that week. Neither of them has really stopped, and by now almost everything here has both their hands on it.

Viserio

Disc Priest, GM of <Sabotage>, and still the one who writes most of the release notes. Does calisthenics almost daily, which nobody asked for. Has a very shiny head.

Penkek

Raids world top-10 in <Advance>. Opens a new repository the way other people open a notepad, which is why there are so many of them. Used to design like it was still Windows Vista, until Luviana sat him down.

Zandy

Builds

Baldio, the Discord bot: rosters, reminders and recruitment, in your own server

Type something at Baldio and the answer that comes back is Zandy. A year of building the bot almost single-handed, with Penkek helping on the parts nobody sees.

Ironii

In game

Builds

The WoWUtils addon, the in-game half of all this

Ironii writes addons for Team Liquid, and he writes ours. It sits in the game quietly keeping track of what your raiders actually have, gear, vault and gold, passes it around the raid, and hands it to you at the moment someone asks who should get the item.

Built on their work

Still in the tools you use

Some of the people who built this have moved on to other things. What they made is still here, and you use it every raid night, so their names belong here too.

Ortemis

Live collaborative editing

Built live editing from scratch in 2025, so a whole team could sit in one reset at once instead of taking turns. Nobody had attempted it before him, and the half that runs in your browser is still almost entirely his code. High-end Mistweaver with multiple Rank 1 M+ IO finishes, and the person behind Not Even Close and Threechest. Streams at ortemismw.

Luviana

The look of the site

The reason the site stopped looking like a spreadsheet with opinions. Spent eleven days in early 2025 redoing the news, roster, reset and assignment pages, and the sidebar colours picked back then are still sitting in the stylesheet both halves of the site share. Also the person who taught Penkek that working and feeling right are two different problems.

Arlie

Roster, timelines and translations

Took on the parts nobody volunteers for: the roster, the timelines, and the shared layer underneath both. Then she wired up translation itself and shipped the first Korean and Chinese catalogs, which every translation since has been built on top of. You might know her from CraftSim.

ChadRewrote the raid timeline from scratch in 2024, then built the sidebar. Both still have the shape he gave them.
CoderbugBuilt the note exports, and the first tests, so a broken export gets caught before you paste it into the game.
RyuzakiDrew the first sidebar layout, back when a new shape for the site was still just a screenshot in a Discord channel.
MelonBrought Mythic+ onto the personal page.
PascalBuilt the flow for removing custom spells you no longer want.

We work with

Outside the team, part of the work

Reloe

Northern Sky Raid Tools

Makes the Northern Sky WeakAuras and Northern Sky Raid Tools, which is where your cooldown notes end up once they reach the game. We build the note format around what NSRT needs, so on raid night the two projects are really doing one job.

Luml

First tester, and still our sounding board

Ex-GM of <Pieces>, now GM of <Advance>, and an analyst for Team Liquid. He was the first person to ever use this, back when it was barely usable, and he is still the one an idea gets taken to before anyone builds it. A great friend on top of that.

Special thanks

People who made this possible

Spongie

For setting up the WoWUtils Discord server.

Twitch

Kaze

For making the WeakAura our work depends on.

Bart

For making Timeline Reminders, one of the in-game addons our plans export to.

Translations

The site in your language

More and more of the site is available in Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Korean, thanks to a growing group of players who give their own time to translate it. There are more than five of them now, and the coverage keeps growing.

We will credit them here by name as soon as we have their blessing. Until then, thank you. And a special shout-out to the huge and growing Korean community, who have truly made the site their own. 감사합니다.
