WoW is a massively multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG) which was released in 2004 by Blizzard Entertainment. It is the fourth game set in the “Warcraft” universe and is set four years after the events of “Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne”. Over the years, the game has released seven major expansion packs, including “The Burning Crusade”, “Mists of Pandaria”, “Battle for Azeroth”, and “Wrath of the Lich King”. The game was at one point the world’s most popular MMORPG by player count, and in 2014 reported having over 100 million registered accounts.

Another game that Taymoo became known for is “Counter-Strike: Global Offensive” (CS:GO), a multiplayer first-person shooter and the fourth game of the “Counter-Strike” series, released in 2012. The game has players join either of two teams, terrorists and counter-terrorists. The teams try to eliminate the opponents, while also completing other objectives depending on the game mode or map. In 2018, the game introduced a battle royale mode called Danger Zone, which has received a lot of positive reviews for its gameplay and faithfulness to its predecessors. The game recently transitioned to the free to play model. It also has an active competitive scene, and consistently has over 11 million players a month.
Sudden Disappearance
In late-2018, Taymoo decided to stop streaming altogether, and was absent for a few months from the online world, and it wasn’t until early-2019 that she started communicating with fans once more. She mentioned that she had not been streaming due to losing interest in the games she played. She has also apologized for her sudden disappearance and promised that she would be streaming soon, but was worried about streaming after being inactive for many months. She recently streamed in August 2019, her first stream of the year and received a lot of support from her fans as she just chatted with them.
One of the reasons for her sudden disappearance was to focus on her work with the company Arbonne International, a multi-level marketing company based in Irvine, California. They specialize in the manufacture and distribution of skincare products and health products.
