Asmongold is back on his main account on Twitch after a break. There, he streamed the Lost Ark at the start. Although he is regarded as one of the biggest WoW streamers, it is the new MMORPG that has brought him his own viewer record.
Who is that? Asmongold is one of the biggest streamers and YouTubers in the MMORPG space worldwide. With over 2.4 million followers on Twitch and 933,000 subscribers on YouTube, he is among the most influential personalities in the genre.
He became known mainly through his streams in the game World of Warcraft, in which he has been active since 2006. However, for about half a year, Asmongold has also been playing a lot of Final Fantasy XIV and has fallen a little in love with the game.
He is also considered controversial and often shares his opinion on various MMORPGs, which are often hotly debated.
Why was he gone? After a tragic accident in which his mother was severely injured and later passed away, WoW streamer Asmongold took a break on his main account in November 2021.
Now he has returned with Lost Ark, and this comeback was immediately his most successful stream yet, although he is primarily a WoW streamer.
No stream from Asmongold has been more successful
This is how the streamer’s comeback went: At the peak of the stream, he had 285,726 concurrent viewers. He broke his previous record from 2019 with around 283,000 viewers.
He himself doesn’t seem to be quite sure how he feels about his comeback:
I still can’t believe that I went live today. I’m going to lie down and think about it, it’s kind of crazy.
Asmongold has already confirmed that there will be more streams for Lost Ark. This is not surprising, as Lost Ark is currently extremely popular and has been the biggest game on Twitch just before release.
On the release day, Lost Ark reached its highest value with 532,476 concurrent players. The start was at 6 PM.
The rush was so great that new servers went live during the night. For the Europe region, there were two new servers right away. Here’s the live ticker for server issues and queues of Lost Ark.
His name in the game was actually already taken in many variations. This may be related to the system of Lost Ark and Amazon. Many names were already “stolen” by trolls here.
This is Lost Ark: It is an MMORPG played from an isometric perspective and can be downloaded for free. At the start, there are 15 different classes to choose from.
It is often compared to games like Diablo and offers dungeons, raids, shipbuilding and shipping, housing, and various PvP elements. It is controlled with mouse and keyboard. The game is fully localized in Germany and even has German voice actors.
