It’s been 20 years since one of the gaming’s most iconic moments took the internet by storm. On this day in 2005, a player named Leeroy Jenkins charged into World of Warcraft’s history, and into an enemy-filled room, screaming his own name, while his guildmates watched in horror and disbelief!
The clip, uploaded by the <PALS FOR LIFE> guild, became an instant viral sensation. The setup was simple: a group of carefully discussing tactics before a pull, only to be completely derailed by Leeroy returning from being AFK and launching into a chaotic attack. The raid wiped and the internet EXPLODED!
What started as a goofy guild video became one of the most quoted lines in gaming history. Blizzard eventually cemented the moment into the game itself, adding the 
Leeeeeeeeeeeeeroy…? achievement and the Jenkins title.
Today, leeroy isn’t just a meme. He’s a milestone.
Happy 20th, legend!
