What programming languages were used to develop the game 'World of Warcraft'?

A:
A large part of the game is scripted in Lua. I'm not entirely sure, but I would guess that the heavier parts are written in C or C++. These are the de facto standard languages for such things, and since Lua is written in C and is very easy to embed in C programs, it strongly supports this.
Edit: Bjarne confirms that World of Warcraft is written in C++.

If they had a sense of humor they have written it in RPG. But I can't blame them for using C++ ;-).

LUA is language they used for their addons and interface. There is core addons such as the banking system or the auction house. then there are user addons such as Big Boss addons and such. The game itself I would say is written in C++ just like any other games.
