The Night Elf music and the ambience of their forest areas were absolutely mesmerizing to me as a young kid playing WoW. Just pure bliss... the music and ambient noise brings me to another place where I almost feel like I'm really there. That with the constant mysterious threat of the hostile enemy faction roaming around in Ashenvale... it is simply perfection.
Love this video! Being a Night Elf fanboy, Darkshore/Ashenvale has always been my favourite zones to level in and I did it countless times as leveling is my favourite thing to do in WoW. I just simply love the aesthetics of all of the Night Elf zones and the soundtrack is so soothing to me I even have a selfmade playlist of all of the Night Elf music there is. Thnx for the video, keep up the good work!
As a boring and playing it safe human warrior lol Thank you for your service NE ❤ 😅 with out night Elves we wouldn't have interesting and beautiful questing zone darkshore and ashenvale
Holy moly, how can you spawn just there with such epicness content and give us only one episode. Can't wait to watch more of these kind of episodes... Well played, you got me hooked all along the video. As being on my 30th try in hardcore classic and 5 lifes later after doing ALL quests, I realize I do enjoy Ashenvale more than I expected and you almost made me nostalgic about this.
My favorite quest in ashenvale is one from horde side. You have to take a banner, plant it on a hill, and fend off waves of furblogs. A literal King of the Hill battle
I am ALL about this content. I havent played wow in about 5 years, and before that my main had something like 8 years on record. This sparked so much nostalgia for me. I really hope this channel blows up. Your quality, attention to detail, and formatting are all top teir. Best of luck man!!
As someone who always picked night elves in Warcrat III, I fell in love with this zone right away back in 2006 because it kind of encapsulates the magic I felt when playing that particular race. It also gave me my first taste of world PVP and that fostered a love that hasn't dwindled.
I remember looking up wow images on google images back in 2005 and this was one of the zone maps I saw while playing runescape on my potatoe pc. God, the memories. Hunters have always looked cool to me so as soon as I got a gaming pc back in 2013, I got a subscription to wow and made a night elf hunter and it's been my main ever since.
This is such a good video! I have been making a video on the Lore of Ashenvale this week because of the impending Season of Discovery! Zone Retrospective series is a must! Keep it up
Bro this is sick! Thank you for this. I have many pleasant memories. You forgot the random ass floating fish 😂🤭 I had that bug outside of ashanaar at everytime!
Your content is excellent. Keep it going you found a fan. I played WoW when it was released and when Classic came out. One thing you missed, off the top of my head, was the quest item drops you received from the named mobs. I believe it was 3 mobs and a lot of xp
It was a close contender for me. I do like that quest, but due to usually having just done a very similar questlines in the barrens it doesn't stand out to me as much as the other horde quests on Ashenvale 😅
I always forget, between alts, just how much there is in Ashenvale. Also, as far as overall ambience, I think the only zone I'd place on the same level, for me, was Grizzly Hills in Wrath. There's a unique thing about Ashenvale, that you step off the path, and you genuinely feel like you are off in the woods. Even the jungle of STV, you never really feel like you are really more than a couple steps off the main path. But Ashenvale, you actually can feel like you are in a deep forest all alone.
My favorite part of ashenvale that you didn’t mention is the howling vale. All the lvl 28-30 werewolves and the ONE rare mob that drops nice leather armor is perfect for this area.
Brother this is my first video that I’ve seen of you, that was enjoyable to the max, I loved the lore you spoke of the visuals and the nostalgia you tossed in. I hope you keep making this type of content from all the zones and bring us more wow news. Thank you my friend you gained a subscriber 😊
Ashenvale is my all time favorite zone. I still remember running around there on my super laggy 256 megabyte RAM computer. It was so laggy that I used to press ”follow” on other players in order to transport myself 😂 Good times, good times! Great video mate ❤️
I really enjoyed the video, I especially liked the quest highlights! I’m new to classic and this is very reflective of my experiences. Keep it up I look forward to seeing more 👍
Mate, youre cool! I have just the same thoughts of the game about nostalgia and ambience and coziness, etc... It is just nice to feel that there are folks that experience WoW in the same way as myself! Keep creating!
Great video. Not AI. And hitting points of interest and "feels" that those videos don't. You earned my subscription and can't wait to see more in my feed!
Love it! Hoping for more! I actually like ''The Hunt'' in Ashenvale where you are set out to kill a hyppogrif, a bear and a panther to get their throphy back. This makes you look out for these mobs while you Quest around in the zone. Best part about is that it gives alot of xp 😂👌
i love finding classic WoW content like this, cant wait to see more, also im not sure if it was just me, but your voice was a tiny tiny bit overshadowed by how loud the music could get in the video may be a fix for later, overall loved the video
I particularly liked this video because I did not get to fully explore Ashenvale and know it's secrets and details. Compared to your STV video, where I know STV in and out. I'd like to see more videos on cool zones that are obscure or hard to fully digest while playing the game.
Ah, Ashenvale, the lush and contested zone in WoW Classic, nestled in Kalimdor's north. From the night elf hub of Astranaar to the relentless faction clashes, it's a pivotal leveling ground for both Alliance and Horde adventurers. The dense forests and diverse quests make every journey through this iconic zone a memorable Classic WoW experience.
Real friggen well done my dude, this was a sick video and you deffo really put a lot of work into this! If you plan to do more, I would love to see a retro spective for STV, darkshore, Un goro
I always loved questing through Kalimdor sort of combing over the old elven empire. Ever since Warcraft 3 I loved the lore and vibe of the night elves and I’m so glad ashenvale is getting a big focus in season of discovery, can’t wait to dunk on some horde
Yea the music... every time I go there the eerie music brings back memories and I turn it up. I had never played a video game with other people, had no idea what I was doing, and spent more time leveling in this zone than any other getting ganked here.
One of my favorite memories was here. It was toward the end of Vanilla, I was a noob, no Idea what I was doing, had spent almost a month just in Ashenvale leveling and getting ganked.... and needed GM help for something. Dragon mounts didn't exist... and he appeared before me RIDING A DRAGON was just sitting on it with it wings flapping at the edge of Felwood. I was in awe! Dam I really miss the occasional interactions with GMs.
I've been on such a lore kick and this came out at the perfect time. I'm excited to see what zones come next. I'd love to see one on Un'goro or Tanaris. I have such fond memories of that point in the game
The others are just news ones 😅 but sub, I'm gonna do a series like this because people seem to enjoy it, and I for sure enjoy making them more than I do the news content!
@@lurker_yt the job itself is great, tons of alone time outside to listen to music, podcasts, etc. But it’s a crazy amount of hours cause we’re understaffed. Will definitely be listening to your future vids, bro! Keep it up
I remember as an Alliance rogue sneaking past the Orc guards at the Mor'shan Rampart from Ashenvale into the Barrens. This was way back in Vanilla, before there were online guides and before I had joined a guild, so I literally had no idea what I would find in the Barrens. I snuck through the village beyond the Rampart and spied on the Orc NPC's there. I actually got the sense that these were not enemies, just people going about their lives. It was a surprisingly poignant moment from just a video game.
My fonest memories of Wow are from pvp in ashenvale and the barrens. We constantly had astranar and crossroads being raided back and forth. Hunting each other through the beautiful forests in ashenvale. Easily the best time i had with WoW.
The Night Elf music and the ambience of their forest areas were absolutely mesmerizing to me as a young kid playing WoW. Just pure bliss... the music and ambient noise brings me to another place where I almost feel like I'm really there. That with the constant mysterious threat of the hostile enemy faction roaming around in Ashenvale... it is simply perfection.
Make more. I would be interested in a whole series of Zone Retrospectives
PvP in ashenvale is always peak world PvP to me because it feels so organic because of the lore of a contested territory.
Love this video! Being a Night Elf fanboy, Darkshore/Ashenvale has always been my favourite zones to level in and I did it countless times as leveling is my favourite thing to do in WoW.
I just simply love the aesthetics of all of the Night Elf zones and the soundtrack is so soothing to me I even have a selfmade playlist of all of the Night Elf music there is.

Agreed that one is pretty great.
Will be interesting to do on SoD..
Barrens and stranglethorn vale are my two favorites. STV always gets me in the feels
I literally subbed after 1 sec because of the title and the intro to the intro music. I know this is my jam. More please!

This style is amazing! I'm looking forward for other videos. It feels like a modern city symphony.
Thanks for this run down memory Lane.
These details are so important to us all to know what we remember.
;)
By far my favourite place in all the world of warcraft, huge nostalgia. Great video
Beautiful ashenvale was always the peak of nightelf feeling for me. with the music and shadowy, serene, armosphere
This is such a good video! I have been making a video on the Lore of Ashenvale this week because of the impending Season of Discovery! Zone Retrospective series is a must! Keep it up
Thanks! I knew you'd do the lore justice better than I could so kept it brief 😉 looking forward to yours
I fell in love with night Elfs music. So good. Takes me back 18 years!
Great video my friend! As a mainly dwarf player, Ashenvale always was 'adventure and discovery' for me. I always liked it!
Bro this is sick! Thank you for this. I have many pleasant memories. You forgot the random ass floating fish 😂🤭 I had that bug outside of ashanaar at everytime!

Welcome aboard!
The very first time I left Darnassas, the docks were under attack. The first time ever actually encountered Horde. 🔥 That’s it, I’m a factionist! 🦁
Ashenvale is my all time favorite zone. I still remember running around there on my super laggy 256 megabyte RAM computer. It was so laggy that I used to press ”follow” on other players in order to transport myself 😂 Good times, good times! Great video mate ❤️
Well done. Looking forward to the video on Darkshire, my personal all time favorite zone.
I really enjoyed the video, I especially liked the quest highlights! I’m new to classic and this is very reflective of my experiences. Keep it up I look forward to seeing more 👍
I love this zone retrospective concept. Please make more!
I like your format of revisiting the zones. I had a similar fascination with Ashenvale and you captured the magic perfectly :)
Awesome video! I would live to see more in this series!
Mate, youre cool! I have just the same thoughts of the game about nostalgia and ambience and coziness, etc... It is just nice to feel that there are folks that experience WoW in the same way as myself! Keep creating!
"meaning if you autorun east as Horde, you're in for a not-so-balanced encountered with Astranaar guards." lol true
Fantastic series!!!! More please 🙏
great video. love the chill narration and footage. very vibey!
Please continue this series
So glad the algorithm recommended me this. Such a well made video. Please keep making these.

That first ten seconds of music will be burned into my brain until the absolute end of time.
Really interesting and detailed. Need more of these ASAP

More of this type of content, please. Was awesome!

Looking forward to seeing more from you, very well done. One of my favorite zones by far.

I support more of these. The format is great 👍 Lore history, significance to you, walkthrough of the zone, and significance in SoD
Great video - I look forward to seeing more :)
Sick video man I’m glad I stumbled upon this. As someone who played wow growing up these in depth looks at zones is very nostalgic to me.
Excellent write-up and beautiful narration!
Awesome Format. I would absolutely love to see more of those videos with the other zones!
Please make more of these! They're so good! ❤️
I crave these videos, to hit my wow nostalgia. as a man in my 30s now, i played this in high school.
Very well done video dude!
Great idea for a video series. As someone who played alliance it’s cool to hear the horde side.
Fantastic stuff man. Keep it up!
This is peak content, can’t wait to see more
This was a good watch. Subscribing in hopes of more. Well done.
Cool video and a great idea for a series!
Nothing better than those road skirmishes right outside of Splintertree Post
Real friggen well done my dude, this was a sick video and you deffo really put a lot of work into this! If you plan to do more, I would love to see a retro spective for STV, darkshore, Un goro

Yea ashenvale was so damn omnious and spooky for my young orc shaman, i love this Zone!

Love the concept of this video series!
Awesome video, definitely earned my sub. I’m a mailman and this was awesome to listen to while I delivered mail in the forest
That seems like a chill gig. Lemme get you some more mail route listens 🫡
@@lurker_yt the job itself is great, tons of alone time outside to listen to music, podcasts, etc. But it’s a crazy amount of hours cause we’re understaffed. Will definitely be listening to your future vids, bro! Keep it up
Love the series idea! Keep it up!
May the Eternal Sun shine upon this new channel ☀️
Great video man,
Time is money friend 💰
Great job, love the introspective style of the different zones

Great video! Can't wait to see you make more!!
Great video - please make this a series!
Ditto
subbed already waiting for more vids like this and even better
I remember that the swiftthistle farming in the south Ashenwale usually became a full scale war between factions.
Great video, hope you make more.
