Why is RuneScape's sooundtrack so good? It's not the

God tier dungeon synth

>>73362213
i would attribute it to a few things

1. the soundfont is distinct

2. the compositional techniques are excellent and capture the medieval/fantasy archetype in a unique and refreshing way; it isn't just "generic action movie arpeggio timpani string section" stuff, it kinda disregards alot of cliche expectations about fantasy music and just exists in a chill and original way

3. you and i spent every moment of our free time on that game and remember every detail about it

It's nostalgic for me, but as the other anon said, it's all built very well and is actually interesting to listen to. It stands out and is quite memorable.

Honestly I wish my life could perpetually be the experience of Runescape circa 2002-2004 when I was young. Nothing in real life has measured up to how that game made me feel. I'll never be that happy.

Genuinely creative and catchy melodies

Did someone say Runescape soundtracks?

>>73362492
you just described my life in primary school. Fuck i gave up on my life back then already and played like 10 hours a day when I was just 9. I literally didn't give a shit about anything but RuneScape till I was 14.
And just like you said, I want it to experience the game like I did back then. But the discovering aspect becomes much more watered down when you become older.... And osrs is full of bots.

cry a little nostalgic tear with me boys

Fuck me man. This just wants to make me cry. Ripped from the comment section
Think back. The year is 2005. You are a young child, wasting his days away at a computer screen, unlocking all the mysteries of Runescape. Countless hours being spent doing mindless and uninteresting tasks that are somehow so compelling, like chopping trees, burning logs, killing goblins, gathering gold, creating friendships with strangers, and standing in Lumbridge castle saying "press 111 for hot bf." You have absolutely no cares in the world - no bills to pay, no job to wake up to, no pestering responsibilities. Just you, a computer, and Runescape. I miss that. No worries other than that guy "xXx1337saucexXx" calling you a noob. Remember your childhood and its mystical presence in your consciousness. It is gone forever.

>>73362913
Fuck man the nostalgia is killing me
I love it and hate it and the same time

Did you all like just remember OSRS existed? Damn...

>>73362990
I'm fucking playing it right now boi 2100 total

>>73362990
Fuck man thanks for reminding me

>>73362990
Playing osrs makes me feel depressed, as only bots and people who don't give a shit about adventures like pkers play it.

>>73363076
Really? Everytime I play it people look like they only care about making fat stax... Maybe I should give it another go.

>>73363100
Literally everyone knows this

>>73363100

>>73363141
Is this real? What the fuck

I miss 2005 playing on windows xp, going to miniclip.com and finding out about runescape and spending my time in varrock sewers killing skeletons with Fire bolt

>>73363141
Well shit, after quickly clicking through a few vids on the recommended and listening to a few seconds of them, I can confirm anon wasn't cherry picking. Rest in piece

runescape is just a shitty Ultima Online ripoff and Ultima's OST is far superior

Runescape is infinitely more unique but WoW has some good music too

>>73363555
if you didn't have the mental capacity of a kid you wouldn't be caught up in mmo company wars in fucking 2017 to begin with lmao

>>73363664

Playing a reissue of an excellent game when you're in your twenties is incomparable to playing the original version when you were 10.

>>73362492
Despite the fact that this game is most likely the reason that I'm the underdeveloped autist that I am today, I would go back and do it all again given the chance. Such a great fucking game.

>>73362990
It's not the same, man. All my old friends have moved on, my friends list is totally red, and no one talks to each other anymore. Most people (that aren't bots) consider talking to others a chore these days. If I ask someone what's up, they'll either tell me fuck off or hop worlds.

Not only that, but the excitement of discovering the game is gone. I know the world map like the back of my hand. It's just boring, man.

It might be the same game, but it's not the same game, if you know what I mean.
