StaySafe just tweeted, and Esfand confirmed, that they will NOT be playing on Fairbanks (PVP-West) or Thalnos (PVP-East). This assumes to include Asmon as well. This way people know where they can create a character ahead of time away from the streamers.
This is the first I've heard of streamer-free realms.
They're doing this off of which names sound the least cool?
Esfand just mentioned on Twitch that Asmongold will be on the same server as him, which means Fairbanks and Thalnos should be safe from Asmongold as well.
They don't seem to care about the server name. They've confirmed they're going East Coast PVP for ping reasons, and they're leaning towards Herod.
Apologies if this is a question with an obvious answer, but why is it "bad" to be in a streamer server? I mean, I think Asmo-whats-his-name is utterly annoying, but what's the big deal?

It's not the streamers themselves, it's their teenage fans who run around and fudge things up
Here's a Classic Winds video explaining why you may want to avoid them:

It's not the streamers themselves, but their viewers.
However, streamers can be the problem too because they basically have an army of people that will do what they ask of them.
A single person can order not only a guild or group of people, but way over 10k people to do something on the spot.
They can have a huge impact on server economy and what else.
Time to roll Herod

If Asmon, Esfand, and Sodapoppin are all planning on being on the same server, as it sounds like, you are going to have an absolute asston of people on that server, which means long queues, lots of ganking, and then also dealing with the streamer fanboy gangbangs. It's not a good time.

We've never had a situation where multiple huge streamers are in the same somewhat-controlled environment before though. I'm still going to be keeping my distance, but I wouldn't be surprised if the dynamics that this brings ends up being pretty fantastical over time.
Sodapoppin confirmed that they're not doing Thalnos:
INVITE TO ASMONLAYER
I'm still torn on this point. Half the fun of the game is guild drama and stuff going on in the background. I wonder what it's going to be like on those servers. That aspect kind of brings something new to the game.
And yeah I've heard all the arguments about players leaving once their favorite streamers quit, people being annoying in world chat, etc. But people have always been annoying in world chat and it could be fun to be on a server absolutely packed to the gills with players. Especially if there are people organizing these huge world events to attack each other and such.
Might be fun to put some alts on ASMONSERVER

I could be down for this too, but as a main server I think it would be exhausting pretty quickly. Especially on a PvP server.
NA PvP Pacific has two options and the streamers have confirmed no Fairbanks. Looks like I'll be rolling on Fairbanks.
