i have to agree....the music was my favorite part of AoC. I even went out and bought the CD. Great stuff there, wish more developers would do this. Walking into Conall's Valley and hearing that really peaceful music and great voice singing over the speakers, added ALOT to the mood.

What is it called ? AoC theme tune or something? I would like to own that too.

Well deserved. The music was by far the best part of the game. If the rest of the game had been at the same level it would have been a breathtaking game.

 

Oh well, at least now I have a soundtrack for P&P RP sessions XD

Agreed,

Sometimes just ran to the "Grave Singer" in Conall's valley to listen to the music when reaching the top and watch that breathtaking scenery.No games have ever acheived that for me...

so a well deserved award

Honesty is the best policy, but insanity is a better defense.

AoC has/had many faults, but the soundtrack was not one of them. I haven't played the game since my free month ended, but I still listen to the music here and there and I am glad that Knut Avenstroup Haugen got the award for the great work he did. Congratulations!

The only time you run out of chances is when you stop taking them.
