About

Welcome to OrphicSoftware.com, the intersection where coding meets the expansive universe of World of Warcraft (WoW). I’m John Moore, founder of this unique blog where I delve into the mechanics of WoW, providing a programmer’s perspective on the game’s software and sharing custom add-ons and tools that enhance the gaming experience.

Born in the heart of Silicon Valley, San Jose, California, I grew up surrounded by the buzz of innovation and technology. From a young age, I was fascinated by how software could transform simple ideas into complex, interactive realities. This curiosity led me to pursue a degree in computer science at Stanford University, where I specialized in game development.

Professionally, I am a software developer at a leading tech company known for its cutting-edge gaming platforms. My work involves developing software solutions that not only improve user experiences but also push the boundaries of what games can achieve. It’s a challenging and fulfilling role, where I constantly learn and apply new technologies in various gaming environments.

I started playing WoW shortly after its release in 2004, drawn to it by its rich, immersive world and the complexity of its game mechanics. Over the years, WoW has become more than just a game to me; it’s a dynamic platform where I can apply my programming skills to create custom mods and add-ons that many in the community now rely on.

The idea to start OrphicSoftware.com came from my desire to bridge my professional life with my passion for WoW. Many players are intrigued by the game’s underlying software but lack the technical knowledge to understand it fully. My blog serves as a resource where both novice and experienced gamers can learn about the game’s architecture, discover custom add-ons, and gain insights into how these tools can enhance their gaming experience.

I am happily married to my college sweetheart, Lisa, who is also a tech enthusiast, though her realm is cybersecurity. Together, we navigate the complex world of technology both at work and at home. Lisa often contributes to the cybersecurity section of the blog, where we discuss keeping your gaming experience safe and secure—a topic of increasing importance in the gaming community.

At OrphicSoftware.com, you’ll find detailed posts about WoW’s software environment, tutorials on creating and using add-ons, and discussions about the latest updates from Blizzard from a software perspective. I also share insights into the challenges and triumphs of developing applications that interface smoothly with WoW, providing both theoretical knowledge and practical guides.

Aside from the blog, I am an active member of various gaming and technology forums, frequently speaking at conferences about the intersection of gaming and software development. These platforms provide a great opportunity to discuss emerging trends and connect with others who share a passion for game development and enhancement.

Looking ahead, I aim to expand OrphicSoftware.com into a broader community where developers and gamers can collaborate on projects, share knowledge, and push the boundaries of what is possible in WoW and other games. Whether it’s through developing new add-ons or exploring the potential of artificial intelligence in gaming, I believe there is much more we can achieve together.

Thank you for visiting my blog. Whether you are here to download a custom tool, learn about WoW’s software, or just explore the possibilities of game development, I hope you find OrphicSoftware.com to be a valuable resource. Let’s continue to explore the magic behind the code together!
