WoW Forever: Twitch stream maps players levelling up
The official Warcraft channel is showing a map of Azeroth with a dot for each hero who levels up or travels, blue for Alliance and red for Horde.
The official Warcraft Twitch channel has put a live map of WoW Forever on air. Players show up on it as dots at the moment they enter the game, gain a level or move between zones, so you can watch where people are levelling and when it happens.
Alliance heroes are marked in blue and Horde heroes in red. It is a heat map, not a view of the game: the dots jump when a character arrives somewhere rather than following every step, and Blizzard has not said whether every player is counted.
It joins a loud first week on the platform. WoW Forever topped Twitch at launch, and watching any eligible WoW stream also counts towards the Pouch of Violet Dust campfire toy, which is on offer until 13 November.
