Ben is already climbing the corporate ladder at work. Does his evening in a fantasy village really need to become another productivity exercise?

That is the question beneath Viva La Dirt League's "Stop Rushing to Endgame in WoW", which has drawn about 347,000 views since yesterday. The live-action Epic NPC Man sketch puts two barely established adventurers alongside a party member determined to hurry them past the scenery.

Adam King plays the impatient Montakgal, whose programme involves rapid levelling, daily tasks, reputation grinding and raids as soon as possible. He keeps calling for a healer and a damage dealer. Alan volunteers over voice chat, but there is a logistical problem: he is still swimming somewhere too far away to help.

Then Rowan Bettjeman's fisherman offers something that doesn't sound much like progress: stop, breathe and fish. Ben Van Lier's character starts remembering the slow, sometimes tedious stretches of original WoW that became his favourite gaming memories. "What if this is the good stuff?" he asks.

The sketch includes a paid promotion for World of Warcraft Classic / Forever, with King and Bettjeman stepping out of character for a sponsor segment after the story.

Viewers are bringing their own memories to its unhurried premise. One recalls a fellow player teaching them to hunt and cook outside Shadowfang Keep; another remembers enjoying long boat journeys in EverQuest. Others recognise the supposedly limited evening session that somehow lasts until the early hours.

Ben and Lishe eventually take up the fishing invitation. Nearby, Adam is still loudly recruiting for the adventure they have decided can wait.
