MeinMMO met the streamer AnnieFuchsia at TwitchCon 2025. She spoke with our editor and streaming expert Lydia about her love for World of Warcraft and her biggest achievements in the MMORPG.
Annie Fuchsia is a streamer based in Stockholm and has been active on her Twitch channel for over 10 years, entertaining her viewers daily with a variety of games. It all started with World of Warcraft, which to this day remains her most streamed game by a wide margin.
About 2,000 viewers on average watch Annie Fuchsia when she goes hunting for achievements or makes WoW unsafe with the streamer guild OnlyFangs. She is the most-watched female streamer for the MMORPG and gladly returns to Azeroth after 15 years.
MeinMMO’s editor Lydia spoke with AnnieFuchsia at TwitchCon 2025.
“Sometimes I just logged in to chat with people”
MeinMMO: You started streaming with World of Warcraft. What is your personal connection to this game?
Annie Fuchsia: World of Warcraft was an important game for me because it was always my source of fun with friends. For me, it was a great way to talk to people. Sometimes I just logged in to chat with people.
I think that’s a bit different nowadays because people add each other on Discord. So, the chats take place outside the game, but back then, that was my chat system. I logged in to talk to guild members and friends.
So yes, World of Warcraft has always meant a lot to me in that sense. I’ve made many friends and met a lot of people through it.
When I became a streamer, it also became a big part of my activity. But I enjoyed World of Warcraft long before that.
MeinMMO: World of Warcraft recently turned 20 years old. What does this anniversary mean for you?
Annie Fuchsia: I haven’t played World of Warcraft since the very beginning. So, the anniversary doesn’t mean much to me, but it makes me think about what an incredible game it must be that it’s still around. There aren’t many games that have survived that long. And yes, there are problems in the game, and yes, many people have stopped playing.
I think the state of MMOs in general is very difficult in today’s society, where people are used to fast dopamine sources and an MMO is a slow one. It’s hard to keep players engaged in MMOs. Given that, I find it incredible. I’m basically happy for the game.
MeinMMO: How long have you been playing personally?
Annie Fuchsia: Since 2010 or 2009, around that time. I think it was during that winter period, so that’s 15 years, which is still a long time.
No Fear of Short Breaks
MeinMMO: That’s a very long time. Many people talk about “burnout” in World of Warcraft – and you haven’t just played for fun. It’s also a big part of your profession. How do you keep the passion alive?
Annie Fuchsia: Well, I would say that because I’m not afraid to – quote unquote – take “breaks”. I’ve never taken a complete break. Normally, I just let my things run, but sometimes I might log in once a week and sometimes daily.
Right now, for example, I’ve been streaming more variety games. My most recent games were Expedition 33 and Oblivion for a few weeks. So, there have been a lot of variety games, which means I play less [WoW].
But that’s not intentional because I’m burning out. I think because I do that, I never really hit burnout. It’s about finding a balance. For example, I was sometimes really exhausted from certain things.
There was a time with Final Fantasy 14 and World of Warcraft, and I thought to myself: you know what? I just won’t play either game. And then I played League of Legends for two months, and people were very unhappy about that.
But I didn’t care because I was under so much pressure, like: “No, play 14, no, play WoW.” “No, this is better, this is better.” And I thought, okay, I’ll just play neither. I tend to return to WoW whenever something is going on. For example, when OnlyFangs was active, I played it for three or four months straight. And the next thing coming is, I believe, MoP [Mists of Pandaria Remix]. So I might get into that.
MeinMMO: Did you play it back then?
Annie Fuchsia: Yes, because that was the expansion that was active when I started streaming.
MeinMMO: What does Blizzard need to get right for you?
Annie Fuchsia: Well, I would say the game itself was pretty good as it was back then. I don’t think there’s really anything that needs to change. I assume they will speed up the tiers and such. There was about Siege of Orgrimmar, which was there for ages, I mean.
So I think they will speed up these patches.
Other than that, I think just leave it as it is. […] I just hope they didn’t break the Challenge Modes system, I thought that was cool.
Housing in WoW is not needed – or is it?
MeinMMO: Which expansion are you most looking forward to?
Annie Fuchsia: In general, I am looking forward to the retail expansion, Midnight. It comes with housing, which I am really excited about.
MeinMMO: Is this something you have been wishing for a long time?
Annie Fuchsia: Yes, I’ve been talking about it forever. Especially since I wasn’t convinced in the past that WoW needed housing. When people mentioned housing, I said: “Why? What would you do there?” I thought it was a strange idea.
But then I experienced housing in Final Fantasy 14 and thought: “This is great.”
You create your own place, decorate it. Even if it’s just for you, it’s fun.
And beyond that: inviting friends over to your home, stuff like that. I think that’s genius.
MeinMMO: Is there something you absolutely want in your house?
Annie Fuchsia: Nothing specific, but I would like to see cool items like trophies for things achieved in the game. Maybe something like a special painting, or actual trophies. That would be cool. They could have an engraving in the game.
MeinMMO: Speaking of achievements, you completed WoW 100% in 2022…
Annie Fuchsia: Yes, I finished it at the end of Shadowlands and at the end of Dragonflight. So I’ve accomplished it twice.
Achievement Hunting in WoW – A Full-Time Job?
MeinMMO: Have you kept up? What’s your current status?
Annie Fuchsia: I am currently behind, but I am figuring out which achievements require a lot of time so that I can start with those because many achievements are also time-limited. So I’m doing research on which those are so that I can slowly complete them in the background because yes, I’m currently falling behind because I’ve been playing a lot of variety games.
For example, I recently started in Undermine(d), and that has been out for months, I believe. But I have only just now gotten around to diving in and now I have a game plan. I have the CHETT list and I know what I have to do with it.
MeinMMO: It’s a real science.
Annie Fuchsia: Especially when you don’t have much time to play because you – in my case – might prioritize other games to stream. Then I need to be particularly efficient with my time. For instance, if I want to complete a task, that’s not enough. Ideally, I have to complete four different tasks simultaneously. So it’s really efficient.
MeinMMO: And you want to go everywhere just once and get everything done.
Annie Fuchsia: Yes, exactly. Or if I’m completing a few quests when a Darkmoon Faire is happening, then I have to make sure to bundle that up and just minimize how often I have to do something.
And to be fair to the people out there, I was also able to stream most of that. I don’t stream it as much anymore, but I’ve already shown many of the grind achievements live. So, if I weren’t a streamer, I might not have had the time to do that.
MeinMMO: If you had a different job, for example.
Annie Fuchsia: Yes, if I had a different job in real life, it would be harder to find the time.
If you haven’t heard of AnnieFuchsia in connection with WoW yet, you might remember her from another MMORPG. Do you remember the streamer who got banned for milking a cow in New World? Yep. Twitch streamer gets banned for milking cow in New World – Asks cow for forgiveness
