Big name streamer servers

I’m curious, would you rather play on a server with no big name streamers or one with big name streamers, and why?

Honestly ill roll the server with the rest of my guild, streamer or not i plan on treating them as friend or foe just like everyone else. Maybe get free stuff out of it with the randoms who will join just to follow them around and have no idea on the mechanics or layout of the game.

I would rather avoid that like the plague. Asmongold is a mega guild and he'll likely have 10 slave guilds under him completely determining if a server lives or dies. That said I wouldn't mind it if he didn't stream all of the time. I probably won't have to worry about it anyway since all of the streamers usually live near California.

The annoying part comes from having to compete vs them when they have an entire 10 guilds setup from day 1. So it ruins the community progression of a server. So you gotta run in another direction than streamers goes in to be able to play the game legit.

Every 'streamer' wants the rules catered to them so their 5 man viewer base doesn't get offended or they don't get banned from Twitch. They single-handedly ruined New World, FiveM and other games, don't see it being a positive experience here except Intrepid sucking in more customers from the publicity.

I would prefer to play on a server without a big streamer.

Depends on if the streamer is whiny or not. The hive mind attitude of streamers and their followers really annoys me sometimes.

Since most of them moved on or at least started playing it a lot less due to various reasons. I also don't entirely get why such big problems playing on streamers servers.

You answered your question before you asked it.

Servers have a limit of around d 50,000 players in total. If 20% of that is a streamers community, and they move on from the game (which, since streamers make a living off of content, they will do) then you are left with a low population server.

While obviously the devs can't force them to do anything it'd be nice if they'd designate a single server as the "streamer" server to try and corral the largest ones whose own activity affects the population.

Assuming people don't consider such a list to be a form of Doxing I don't think I would have a issue sharing the list. If people are opposed to such a list being public I would consider doing a server "forecast" based on the numbers I came up with for "Server congestion", and leave it at that.

We got a few years out on this still, I just want to be able to make a good decision on what server to play on.
WOW Classic was a mess for my friends and me. We had to reroll on a new server at level 35ish because streamer congestion was so bad. We actually lost a friend in the process (Kind of funny, but true).

There is a lot to think about here. If such as list had a lot of eyes on it. The list could have the opposite effect. I am not 100% sure what I will do. These are tricky waters to navigate.

Doxing is making private information public; it's quite public (or will be within minutes of streamers going live) what server streamers are on, so I can't imagine there being any legal issues with this.

As to having the opposite effect - nah. All the same information is available publicly, a sheet like this would just make it easier to find. People might avoid a/all streamer(s), or might flock to them. They might also ignore the sheet altogether (and the accuracy is dependent on the curator). IMO the sheet is unlikely to have *any* effect other than to save any viewers time - they're going to likely make the same decision they were going to make before seeing the sheet (avoid/flock).

Just make it so that I don't lag out of the game whenever said stream walks into my zone and I wouldn't mind it.

I guess thats the good reason for being on EU, cant think of many EU streamers that would cause a havoc.
