World of Warcraft uses LUA, too. There is even an WOW specific 
LUA-Editor in the works.

Here are some links:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/blua/
http://www.wowwiki.com/WoW_UI_Customization_Guide#Lua_Scripting

I wonder, if anyone at Blizzard reads this list; may be they could 
explain a bit better where and why they are using LUA.
I think this would be interesting to read.
