What is World of Warcraft about?

Intent on settling the arid region of Durotar, Thrall's new Horde expanded its ranks, inviting the undead Forsaken to join orcs, tauren, and trolls. Meanwhile, dwarves, gnomes and the ancient night elves pledged their loyalties to a reinvigorated Alliance, guided by the human kingdom of Stormwind. After Stormwind's king, Varian Wrynn, mysteriously disappeared, Highlord Bolvar Fordragon served as Regent but his service was marred by the manipulations and mind control of the black dragon Onyxia, who ruled in disguise as a human noblewoman. As heroes investigated Onyxia's manipulations, ancient foes surfaced in lands throughout the world to menace Horde and Alliance alike.

Should I stream World of Warcraft on Twitch?

0/100 · Closed off· 95 viewers per streamer on paper

Probably not. World of Warcraft has 546 streamers live, so you would open around #454 of 547 — far enough down the category that almost nobody browsing it would scroll to you, however many viewers it has.

About 18,584 of the 33,265 English viewers here are not watching the two biggest English streams — roughly 88 each if you split it with the 209 other English streams below them. You would start around #454, too far down for anyone browsing to find you.

Only 33,265 of the 51,879 viewers here (64%) are watching in English. 211 of the 546 live streams are in English.

Almost nobody here is available to you — either a couple of streams hold the room, or nobody is watching in English, or the category is empty, or you would be buried.

This reads the room as it is right now — how much of the English-speaking audience is reachable and where you would land — not how many followers you would gain. That depends on you.
