The Streamer Guild Sauercrowd has been making waves in WoW Classic since December 27, 2025, and took over the German Twitch scene. Many participants have little to no experience with the MMORPG. 13 of them provided feedback after the first weeks.
Metashi12 is one of the organizers of Sauercrowd, the big WoW event on German Twitch. He asked 13 participants for honest feedback – from the WoW veteran to the MMORPG noob to the Twitch newcomer. We summarized the responses for you here, but you can also check out the video here.
Note: The interim report was recorded about 2 weeks after the event started. Levels and deaths may not be completely up to date. We have supplemented the updated information where necessary.
What the participants say
- Mowky: The streamer reports starting the event with low expectations. After all, WoW would usually “flop” on Twitch, and after 2 weeks, no one would want to play anymore. Instead, she was not only pleasantly surprised but is already dreaming of a season 2.
- Broeki: The LoL streamer is so deep into the WoW grind that he records his contribution during his character’s flight time. He admits to having underestimated WoW Classic entirely: one just has to immerse oneself in it, and then it becomes a great game. However, the event is also upheld by social interaction and the overarching goal of the guild.
- Mahluna: For the streamer, the first two weeks of the event felt almost like a whole year – mainly due to her playtime of about 10 hours a day. Mahluna is not only surprised by WoW but also by herself – level 45 without dying, and that as an MMO newbie is quite impressive. In the meantime, she did die once, but her hunter is already back at level 46 (as of January 31, 2026, 14:15).
- Tolkin: For the LoL streamer, what stands out is how many new people he has met through the event. He experiences less of that with League. His interim report is short and sweet: “Great event, would love to do it again.”
- Bladeshow: The LoL pro particularly praises the people working behind the scenes at the event, such as on the Discord server or the website. For him, the project is especially notable for bringing many new people to WoW who not only “grind hard” but also have fun with the game.
- Naguura: The streamer is not new to WoW, but she is in the German community, as the Tyrolean typically streams in English. She feels well received and is happy to see the passion with which the “first-timers” are starting in WoW. It feels almost like it did back in 2005.
- Sieglinde: The experienced WoW player says: In the last 20 years of MMORPG, he has rarely had such a good time as through this event. He particularly likes discovering WoW with new players, as it allows him to experience it anew himself.
- Cezzy: The streamer reports after 3 weeks in the event, where he has hardly seen the sun. Even as a night owl, he always finds players to team up with, thanks to the well-populated Discord. Cezzy has already died 6 times in the event but keeps starting fresh – after all, the event needs tanks.
- JenNyan: The streamer started WoW 20 years too late but already understands after two weeks why players would have “neglected their lives” back then. Luckily, she didn’t play WoW as a teenager, says JenNyan. She especially praises the mutual support, such as after the tragic loss of her character at level 20.
- Hahn: The streamer was the first to reach level 60 in Sauercrowd. What makes the project special for him is that it brings together so many different “bubbles.” The German Twitch scene is otherwise known for forming cliques.
- HughWinters: For the streamer, WoW is almost secondary at this event. The vibe at the event, the camaraderie, the solidarity are simply indescribable. He has never experienced anything like this in 9 years on Twitch. The streamer believes Twitch Germany needs more projects like this.
- Justin Tinderdate: The DJ knows WoW but is completely new to Twitch. He met guild leader HandOfBlood at a DJ set and decided to join the project. Even after Sauercrowd ends, he plans to continue streaming.
- Felikah: The streamer, who mainly shows Minecraft, has been completely captivated by WoW. She didn’t even know she could be so into anything. In the past weeks, she has only played WoW, slept, and played WoW again. No wonder she has put over 200 hours into the game in less than a month. Felikah is also excited about the camaraderie in the guild and looks forward to raiding Molten Core with the group.
Despite the diverse backgrounds of the participants surveyed, almost all share how beautiful the camaraderie and solidarity at the event are. Many who had no prior experience with WoW are pleasantly surprised by how much they enjoy the game. These two points alone would likely be enough to explain the event’s success – but for some participants, it is particularly worthwhile:
