Something strange is happening on Twitch. The most-watched gaming on the site in the past few weeks hasn’t been Fortnite, or CS:GO, or League of Legends, or any of the other esports darlings — which is almost unheard-of for the site. Instead, the game everyone’s spent the most time watching, by a significant margin, is a little MMO you may have heard of called World of Warcraft.
Classic is now the most popular game to stream on Twitch, boasting 156,000 viewers as of writing. By comparison, Fortnite has 122,000 (which is still a very respectable number, of course) viewers. Even Ninja, who has abandoned Twitch for Microsoft's Mixer, has mostly been playing WoW Classic recently.
WoW‘s been going strong for so long now, but I can see why some people might want to jump into a server that reminds them of the game at launch. It’s changed a great deal in the interim. And for those of us who weren’t there at WoW‘s jump, it’s a fun chance to see what gaming was like back in ye olden times.
That constant variety, combined with the cooperative nature of the game (which leads to various interesting social interactions), gives both streamers and viewers something fresh to look forward to every day.
Meanwhile, another incentive that kept people watching was the question of who would be the first player to hit the level 60 cap, and that appears to have been Jokerd. It remains to be seen if all these interested viewers will stick around now once the ceiling has been hit and the raids have been completed. But I think the fact that a 15-year-old game managed to catch and hold such interest at all is an achievement in and of itself.
