World of Warcraft has been around for two decades, and Classic Mode is available if the player wants to return to the roots. I do. In this video I experiment with using WoW as self-therapy and a way to free associate while playing the slow grind of classic WoW. The old game had no real rush and was more focused on the world immersion, unlike today's WoW which is all about optimization, fomo, and gear chasing. In old WoW, there was one area in particular that provided peace and tranquility: Ashenvale. Something about the aesthetic, sound and music of that region made it... relaxing. So let's go back there, and go back in time while at it.
