Ashenvale - Music & Ambience (World of Warcraft Classic)

Meisio my favourite flavour!

[@Meisio]

I though Vanilla is better. But I'll take it! :) Thank you. You make me blush :) Kind regards, Meisio

It puts your name in automatically when I reply on youtube app. I meant vanilla is my favourite flavour! Sorry for miscommunication haha

[@Meisio]

Hahaha... now I blushed even more :-|

[@DargorV]

Love listeneing to it, hated classic.

[@1Yooter]

I remember skipping school some days just to stay playing WoW during high school. I lost my mom during that time and WoW helped me so much coping with it. Sometimes I have to hold back tears when re-listening to Classic WoW music.

[@obscureorca]

Sorry for your loss. I hope you are doing well now 🙏

[@Zknosk]

I remember when I got home from school to play wow the landscape filled my eyes

[@Mapledreamlife]

That's some real shit. I relate because WoW music is very precious to me.

[@M13unnamed]

Yeah my First wow Patch i Play Tauren Warrior ITS amazing days ))

[@dfuher968]

Im so sorry for your loss. I know exactly, how you felt. I lost my father after 2 long years of fighting cancer, WoW really kept me sane through it all, being able to go into this magical world with its soothing music and calm down and energize to face the tough reality again.

[@LastKupoNut]

Why does nostalgia feel like a knife in the soul? Simpler times.

Because you’ve chosen a path that makes you less happy over time.

[@kr6302]

I could cry just by listening to this heavenly sounds and music, remembering my first night elf character (in 2006) who started in Teldrassil, mesmerized by the beauty of the nature, making my way to Ashenvale after training in Darnassus and discovering the beautiful beach and creatures. Not knowing where I'm headed next. How I want to relive those moments of pure tranquility and happiness. It was not a game, it was a beautiful journey 😭

[@LordEmilous]

I'm there with you and it makes me happy that many of us shared this indescribable experience... Feels good not to be alone in it. Just listening to this music makes me feel 18 years younger.... I know I can't reproduce this, even with classic... I wish I could go back and relive those simpler times...

[@dfuher968]

Ikr, it feels so sad these days, that ppl just want to skip the journey and get to the end, then they scream for more content. The journey was the whole point, I miss it so.

[@theforgot3n1]

​@@dfuher968 I feel you! I think the essence of wow can be recovered in the future. Classic absolutely nailed it. I dream sometimes about playing WoW 2 with my future kids 😂

[@kane2980]

it feels like, i lived in this world few years with my friends. noone would understand it, who not played it.

[@Leathersoup]

Probably my favourite World of Warcraft zone, music wise. For some reason it's just otherworldly.

[@Meisio]

I think one of my favorite as well (probably Teldrassil is the first), but if you look through my comments I like a lot of zones. I just love WoW. :)

[@Leathersoup]

I also love the the melancholic Darkshore tune. It brings up a lot of great memories, doing crafting in Auberdine while waiting for my friend to login.

[@r2dezki]

Favorite zone but don't go in it on a pvp server.

[@Heliodore1000]

Thanks to Meisio for 2 things: first, bringing back those memories of a peaceful, stressless life, when everything seemed so easy and we could spend days or nights in the game without remorse of fear of consequences. That music really was an ear-catcher. And second, keeping it alive by producing those beautiful vanilla soundtracks, with so much delicate attention for our memories and this sensation of cosiness, so that we can now listen to it working on complicate stuff that requires lots of focus and concentration. I've been listening to selected Meisio vanilla soundtracks for a several weeks now when writing or creating, and it does it every time: no matter how upset with my work I might be, the familiar soundtracks always soothe me, even if I stopped playing more than 10 years ago. I even told an hyperactive friend - who is too young to know about WoW - to try it, and it calms her too quite efficiently. I also sometimes play it very low as background, when I get to advise certain very anxious clients (I'm a tax advisor). No one has noticed the background yet, but the meetings go well and in a calm atmosphere. Thank you, Meisio. /bow

[@Thomas_Leo]

Walking into Ashenvale for the first time made me fall in love with WoW. The first 20 levels as a Tauren was nothing but the Mulgore plainlands, and then you go into the barren wasteland of the Barrens, then as soon as you run into Ashenvale, everything changes into this mystical forest with new creatures, ambience, and enchanting music. It felt like being transported into this new realm of magic and mystery. I have never had a similar experience in any other MMORPG since then.

[@GamesJoblin]

Haha awesome, but I liked Tauren+Orc+Troll zones too

[@devonhedinger4132]

Mine was Everquest then Wow❤ Both glorious in their own rights.

[@tripleaaabattery8480]

It's similar to how I felt in Xenoblade Chronicles when I walked into Satorl Marsh for the first time at night. It was incredible, and Ashenvale feels close to that feeling

[@Frank-jr1ly]

First char I really leveled was a night elf hunter. But after I reached darkshore I took the boat and headed to stormwind. I heard that the human zones were more popular and funner and leveled up through westfall and duskwood. It was fun, don't get me wrong, but I never went through the nightelf zones of darkshore and on into ashenvale. Listening to this makes me regret it. Westfall and duskwood are fun, but these mystical forests are something I know I could have gotten lost and immersed in for days and days. I quit wow in 2013 after playing for seven years, but maybe this summer I'll reactivate my account and play classic, roll a nightelf and play through ashenvale to experience it for the first time.

[@bfitnessjoe]

Frank Ralph the most wise words of a real veteran player.

[@Moemenk]

this right here... did the same exact thing..this time I want to go through ashenvale desolace and feralas all NE zones I neglected in the past

[@Nekcarb420]

Lol thats exactly what im doing now as a druid, back in the day i did the same thing and now i have a character in classic almost in ashenvale im stoked

[@Jacob-Pogicat]

Wow dude we almost share the exact same experience; first char ever NE Hunter, leveling in Westfall, 7-ish years of playing. My only difference is I traveled thru the dreaded Wetlands around lvl 10? (whatever level you get to Darkshore), died many, many times to those gators and took the tram from Ironforge to Stormwind. xD

[@kellyraye815]

It's funny you said human zones are more popular, because I honestly forgot why I skipped the Nightelf zones considering how much I adore them now. Goldshire was a lovely place to hang out.

[@Hiosho]

i stood for hours just in the "shadows" as a nightelf to listen to this music and patroling the Woods on an RP/PvP Server...what a great Time..great Game...amd evem greater Community !!

When I entered Ashenvale forest, coming from those dried, dusty Orc barrens, I was enchanted. Then a nasty bear or wtf was it, mauled me to death.

[@chewy.666]

triggering world defence notice by attacking horde npc's in ashenvale, to try to have horde come raid the town. which in result would lead to a counter raid by elf players, and attacks on xroads and such. good old times

keep finding myself coming back to listen more lol. older wow music was quite magical.

[@Meisio]

Music + Ambience + Our memories = Magic :) Hi Dahun!

[@mullenio4200]

Yeah, perhaps it's just nostalgia. But the updated music for these realms does not capture that same magical ambience that the vanilla music does. Like everything else about the updated game, it seems like they're trying to make it more epic. More explosions!!!!

[@Meisio]

True, I have this feeling also when I hear the action music and see the explosions in the newer in-game cinematics. Don't think it's suitable for wow, but I am also getting too old for this stuff...

[@wolfkin71]

I remember the very first time I stumbled onto this game. I walked into a gaming cafe some time during the fall of 2005 and the owner was playing this game. He was in this zone with his Orc warlock snooping around the buildings with his eye of kilrogg , I knew instantly I was hooked. I think it was that or the the next day I went out and bought a gaming computer and the game , I played hard for almost 10yrs.

[@huntercopeland9371]

I spent so much time on Nostalrius, Elysium, and Light’s Hope ganking hordies with friends I met along the way. So weird how I’m now nostalgic for servers that were built on the fact people had nostalgia for vanilla WoW. Blizzard Classic was never the same for me.

[@Aulann623]

No many how many alts I make, Horde or Alliance. I always quest through Ashenvale. The music, the ambience is just so perfect and when the singing starts it always sends chills through my body&soul. It reminds me of when I first started playing World of Warcraft, discovering all that it had back in 2006. It gives a sense of magic and wonder that WOW has seem to lost over the years. If I die, please hold my funeral here in my honor, on the server Bloodhoof.

Same here. I used to play when I was in my early 20s with my best friend. He's most of the time gone, but from time to time (once a year) I have the chance to sit down with him and remember our youth. Good times...

I mostly played solo for the first few years of WOW, and I feel like it took ages to hit level 60, but in the process I also felt inspired to spend time exploring everything possible. It was so chill. I haven't played in years, but the last time I tried it felt so rushed and overly complicated.

I picked up WoW Classic once TBC dropped, and upon reaching level 20 and finally leaving Azuremyst, I was sort of wandering around Darkshore aimlessly and in an attempt to escape some mobs that were chasing me around some hills, I quite literally stumbled into Ashenvale. This zone has got to have the best exploration out of any location I've seen so far, purely because the music really drives home how enchanted these forests are. Edit: i reached 60 and am leveling other characters, Ashenvale still has the best music tbh lol

How has this changed,today it's about getting from lvl 50 to 60 (shadowlands) within 5 hours ....these people do NOT enjoy the game as it is designed,to explore,wander around,just feel happy to watch and enjoy what blizz has done... I was one of them expansions later to feel the need to...i have to this and that super fast or i will be left behind....chill people....you do NOT have to do anny of that,just relax and enjoy and you will have a great time.

Damn, you're getting really good at it. Vanilla was legit a nice game graphics-wise, and it plays no small role in its longevity and replayability imo. Although it is still far away, it is starting to dawn upon me that the choice of my main class/race for Classic is going to be a tough one, as there is much I am keen to go through again. Like Ashenvale, for instance. It was always a pretty dangerous place for sure, but I would expect a special kind of savagery at the next release, when hundreds of players are gonna collide in there at the same time again. Quests are gonna require tag teams to be safe, Blackfathom Deeps and Warsong Gulch entrances will be dangerous cutthroats. Speaking of which - do you plan to do BGs? Or is it not possible to get there in solo?

[@Meisio]

Thank you ❤️ Doing my best and I don't compromise when it comes to execution. Even if it takes me 4 days to do it and in the end I will have maximum 200 views.
