City of Heroes on Twitch — competition and audience

Paragon Studios· NCSOFT· 2004· PC · Mac

RPGFantasy

City of Heroes was a superhero based MMORPG that ran from April 2004 to November 2012. In April 2019, source code capable of running a City of Heroes server was distributed widely. This made it possible to create City of Heroes servers outside the direct purview of NCSoft and revived interest in the game, which by then had been out of development for more than six years. As of January 2024, NCSoft has not moved to have servers based on this source code shut down. On January 4, 2024, NCSoft officially granted Homecoming Servers LLC who operated the rogue server Homecoming: City of Heroes an official license to host the game.

Should I stream City of Heroes on Twitch?

Probably not. One stream holds 100% of the 15 people watching City of Heroes, leaving about 0 for everyone else — and the category empties when that streamer logs off.

One stream holds 100% of the 15 viewers here, leaving about 0 for everyone else. When they log off, the category empties.

Almost nobody here is available to you — either one stream holds the room, or the category is empty, or you would be buried.

This reads the room as it is right now — how much of the audience is reachable and where you would land — not how many followers you would gain. That depends on you.

Is City of Heroes too saturated on Twitch?

Not crowded, but not open either. Only 1 person is streaming City of Heroes, and that single stream holds 100% of the 15 viewers — so the room is quiet because the audience is already committed, not because it is waiting for you.
