Streaming?

[Dayru]

I'm new to Nostalrius and thought about streaming my leveling process. I see people on the front page streaming but have always been told that streaming to twitch on private servers is against the TOS and will get you IP banned. Can anyone confirm if streaming is now allowed or isnt and people are just risking bans?

Many players stream to Twitch.tv from Nostalrius and I enjoy watching them.

Twitch's "Rules of Conduct" say that you are not allowed to stream pirated games on private servers but Twitch will (probably) not take action unless the publisher (Blizzard) file a complaint.

This means you can get banned + IP banned but it's unlikely for a small channel.

Twitch randomly bans Nost streamers en masse. They've done this three different times, to my knowledge. First-time offenders usually get a 24 hour ban and a slap on the wrist. If you're caught again, you might get permanent Twitch account closure or an IP ban.
