The Horde and the Alliance were out in full force on Monday—World of Warcraft Classic just set a new record for the highest launch-day concurrent viewership on Twitch, with livestreams of World of Warcraft reaching a peak concurrent viewership of more than 1.1 million unique viewers of WoW Classic’s launch day! 

Thanks to all of the adventurers—and everyone cheering them on—who set out with us on this epic journey back into Azeroth’s history.
