I know him best as former guild leader of Fires of Heaven from the MMO Everquest, I was in a guild that was their rivals on the Veeshan server they played on. I had the chance to talk to him a few times in my EQ days and he is a really cool guy and just knows MMOs like nobody else, the ring I believe is just for Devs to test things.

from the comment page of the item:
A GM only Ring With Power Beyond Natural named For : Alex Afrasiabi , Alex was once leader of a famous Everquest guild named Fires of Heaven (now a World of Warcraft guild). His first character in EQ, Kalaran, a rogue, was the first level 50 in EQ. Alex is supposedly still an avid player and guild leader in World of Warcraft.
As Fires of Heaven were well known for achieving many "world first" accomplishments in Everquest, the guild was asked upon the release of World of Warcraft to not be the first to kill Onyxia.Blizzard felt too many people would think they had inside knowledge if they continued this achievement trend in WoW. It stands to reason this 'suggestion' is still in effect, as they have tended to wait before tackling new content too quickly. Though they progress quickly once they have started.

I used to play on Veeshan (man, that seems a long time ago) and remember the FoH leader being called Furor, although I do remember hearing that his first account was banned for cheating or something, so Furor may have been his second character.

Not hardly, its going on its 11th or 12th expansion, yeah the playerbase isnt anywhere near what it used to be but what can you expect from a MMO that was king from 99-04 and lived on strong till even now. Alot of people like to bash it but it was my first MMO ever and will always have a place for it deep in my heart and stomach lol, besides so many ideas in WoW came from EQ so it has a good chunk of influence on WoW and not many people realize it.

Yes Furor was his famous character that led Fires of heaven, his rogue was banned for what I believe was item duping this remains almost unknown though but is usually the common assumption.

Also. He's the quest developer of Blizzard, and in WotLK, lead world designer.
