      Probably from Turkish, where “kek” means “cake” but also is slang for “gullible”. When you get kek’d, for example, it means you just got got.

      possibly booth. WoW was released in '04.

      For those wondering, The game would use a shift cipher on chat. when chatting between factions, you wouldn’t be able to read it. Well. except we were nerds and they used the same shift cipher. for horde players saying LOL, alliance players would see KEK. so addons existed that could ‘translate’ back and forth.

      The reasoning was that cross-faction, eh ‘comunication’ was mostly taunting and shit.
