Music in RS


Amundogus2

Recommended Posts

I don't think we have a discussion thread for this, so I thought I would start one.

 

 

 

Does anyone else agree that the music has improved drastically lately (if you even keep it on), with songs like the sound of Guthix and everything else from WGS, Stealing Creation, Chosen Commander music and apparently the music from the new quest aswell.

 

 

 

I certainly think it has, and would like to know what you guys think about this ;)

 

 

 

Discuss please ::'

the music reminds me that Im deathly sick in bed...

Excuses are tools of incompetence that builds monuments of nothingness. Those who specialize in excuses never accomplish anything.
If the world does end on December 21, 2012, I want to be doing hot stuff with Megan Fox and/or playing Runescape :D

I've seen this as well. The most boring and irritating music centres on areas that have been around for ages (or since RuneScape was created), like Lumbridge and Draynor (I hate 'Harmony' with a passion), and the most exciting and appropriate ones are in recent quests.

 

 

 

I'd like it if they overhauled some of the earlier tracks.

I like Camelot and Castlewars music tracks, they've been around for a while... :/

 

True, there are alot of good music from old aswell... but it only recently started being good consistently (sp?) :P IMO anyways.

Jagex did pretty much go from two guys in a basement to a multi million dollar cooperation. Music and sound effects are one of those lower priority things, plus its pretty expensive. Hiring a band/orchestra for even a few days could cost a ton of cash, and they probably only recently got the budget to pay for something more then keyboard generated music.

It has nothing to do with how much it costs to make the music sound more professional.

 

 

 

It has to do with the fact that this is a browser based game and that the sound files need to be small enough to load seamlessly on a browser while loading and updating the entire RS world smoothly AND hosting up to 2000 players per server.

 

 

 

I would LOVE to have a more organic sounding score but that would make load times a lot longer unfortunately.

Lol this thread has inspired me to turn the music in the game back on. :D I haven't played with it on in years... Harmony brings back some memories. :D I think I'll leave it on for a while and see what some of the newer areas music is like. I don't have much else to listen to anyways. And I don't feel that the rs music is TOO horrible. :D

Ironic that I was going song hunting to get the fancy air guitar emote (Which I do have now \' ), but that I haven't heard any rs music except for the loading screen in years....

I usually play with loud trance music, so I don't hear the RS music. I did however do The Chosen Commander with music. I liked it. :)

They redid the tracks a while ago, to make them sound less PacMan-ish. It's pretty decent for music coming from a game, that's all I can say.

In my opinion, I think should try to update the music with actually instruments. But at the same time I don't mind runescape music at all. I listen to "Parade" when ever i fletch. It's very soothing for me...I know I'm weird right? :lol:
