Streaming Nostalrius?

[Kuruni]

Hello friends

I'm almost level 30 on Nostalrius, and I haven't streamed at all yet. I recently came across some info saying that streamers showing Vanilla WoW content were getting banned?

Is this still the case? Are there certain reasons to why they are getting banned... or is it just any and all vanilla streams?

I used to stream a different vanilla privvy with no trouble at all, this was in around 2013. The reason for the post is that I'm unsure whether to stream or not. I don't want to get banned from Nost or Twitch, but the fact that Nostalrius host Twitch streams on their site has me questioning it.

I'd be grateful for any information or advice
Happy Adventuring

some people got 24 hour bans last week for streaming but they had a large base of viewers. I think you'll be okay as long as you don't bring too much attention to yourself. if you get over 100 viewers you might want to start getting worried, or if you spam your twitch in world chat over and over it might attract people to report your twitch more.

so yeah, you can stream, but always be careful of how many viewers you get and even if you do get banned, it most likely won't be permanent just a suspension.

Hey thanks for the reply
I checked out a few of your Youtube vids, including the one on streaming Nostalrius, thanks for putting them up

It's something I was really surprised about when I heard... but good to know more about it.

Though, I really think Blizzard are shooting themselves in the foot. I actually started playing WoW on a free vanilla server, and it was curiosity that led me to pay for retail WoW in Mist of Pandaria... I never would have paid for the game had I not been so hooked from playing the free privvy. Isn't Nostalrius gaining popularity also technically gaining Blizz popularity.

Probably will hold off streaming for a bit to see what else goes on with this, but it's good to know that it wouldn't be a perm ban. Also agree with what you say in your vid, if it is clearly marked that it is the Nostalrius private server and not retail... I don't think there should be a problem.

They've done three different one-day ban waves of Nost streamers with final warnings attached. You're probably safe.

Also, don't stream on the PVP server if you're not 60 yet.

yeah robo speaks truth, I have a level 60 I go on if I get camped while streaming leveling but if you are leveling for the first time, there are people who will go on your stream and camp you, so be careful

Probably safer to stream on something that's not Twitch
