Best soundtrack is AOC, period.

For me I muted music in SWTOR, in Tabula Rasa and Planetside 1 & 2 are some of the best music and I still listen to them.

Great thread OP. I have been playing Guild-wars 2 for about a month and I find the music makes me sleepy as opposed to games like WOW and SW:TOR which have thumping soundtracks that urge you on. John Williams is one on my favourite movie score composers. Maybe we will get some Hans Zimmers in MMO's soon.

One more piece of SWTOR background music that is my absolute favorite... though heeartbreaking :)
Spoiler: Quinn Betrayal. The music which starts when Quinn starts his conversation just gives me thrills....

John Williams is an amazing composer so they had that ace up their sleeve. The rest of the music is ok. I thought TSW had some amazing tracks. Subtle and powerful. Really set the mood and enhanced the areas. This is all subjective though There is no such thing as a universal best when talking about music, or games, or movies, or anything really haha Themepark is not a sub genre, its an excuse. |

Apart from the actual Star Wars theme, which is of course immortal: GW2 music > SWTOR music. Can't beat the morrowind guy. Jeremy Soule is the best video game music composer out there.

Originally posted by bubaluba Age of Conan, Anarchy Online, and LoTRO has swtor beat in all of those categories imo. Swtor did have some pretty good music though. I found the stories in SWTOR to be pretty bad really, and full of eye-roll moments. Not trying to troll, but the stories is SWTOR seem to be geared towards an early teenage crowd. The leveling - well I dunno, couldn't even force myself to get past level 42 it was so bland. |

Originally posted by Eazydzzz LOL I actually think that SWTOR stories are much more appreciated by mature crowd, who appreciate it's humor and great liners. LOL to be honest I love "what did I just say?"moments in Inquisitor story:). And believe me I am as far of teenage as possible and my yet older friend enjoyes the story as much as I do /grin
Edit. We all have different opinions. I could not pass AoC above level 30 - it was so boring and still did not get to max level in LOTRO - it's beyond boring.

Originally posted by Yakamomoto Very mature as usual. GW2's music is better than SWTOR's to me based on the fact that most of it is original, and not plucked from a movie series and edited. In fact, when I was playing SWTOR, I just turned the music off because it was like an old radio station playing in the background. John Williams made music for the Star Wars movies, not SWTOR. I don't even know how it counts as game music. Any original music for SWTOR was still beaten by WoW and AOC. no GW2 won't kill WoW, but it's time to move on and quit worrying about those people still playing it. - eyelolled |

I play it just for the music, I'll log in and crank it right up and do chores around the house.

gw2 and swtor i find have good soundtracks and i like both music wise. but it seems the scandavians have a talent for soundtracks, CCP and Funcom do the best music in my opinion. If I had to pick one game music wise it would be TSW, though its a hard choice between that and aoc or eve. undoubtedly the worst big mmo music wise was Warhammer, there was hardly any in it, and what there was didnt fit the game, it would have suited a more high fantasy world like WOW, EQ or GW, you know bombastic and heroic sounding music. WAR needed a soundtrack appropriate to a low fantasy game, like AOC had. |

Glad to see so many people here like AoC music as much as me.
Music is somewhat overlooked, and can sometimes make or break a gameplay experience.
I remember really liking Warhammer, but couldn't stand the music. It sounded like someone was banging pots and pans together in the backround, and it was that same music for almost every zone. It was so bad that I didn't even want to log in after awhile. |

I never was a huge fan of Star Wars music and I didn't find it all the better in the MMO either, I never really remember the sound effects in many MMOs, I know FF11 had some nice soundtracks and Aion as well and as always i'm still a fan of TERAs battle music although most of the other music is lackluster.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4tboQ1NeRo#t=285s ...love this one the most.
Most of TERAs boss battles were DPS races(kill boss before x amount of time or else your party would wipe) and these really made them very intense, I hold TERAs battle music close to my heart lol.
Baraka and Aman race themes were pretty good too, but all the ambient and field music was lackluster in the game to me.

I thought Conan's soundtrack was also fantastic but it was very short. There were a number of exceptional pieces on it, but hearing the exact same 40-second piece of music in Conall Valley every 5 minutes got annoying. SW:TOR has *4 hours* of music in the game. Some of it will be terrible, particularly the cantina music on the fleet that's so, so annoying after you hear it 5000 times. The sheer volume of music does mean that a lot of it ends up as ambient fuzzle (yay for partially made up words) but there are real gems hidden in there. |

i have never played an mmo soley for the music. never. i didn't find anything particularly great about SWTOR's music. i thought AoC had probably the best music of any mmo i've ever tried. |

Lotro as a whole I think had/has a wonderful soundtrack with many memorable pieces, the whole Mines of Moria soundtrack for example is fantastic, "Hollin's Gate" being a particular favourite. Have not had to the opportunity to listen to the RoR expansion (or Isengard for that matter), not having bought that particular expansion, but I'm sure it's fabulous, despite whatever problems and issues the game itself is currently facing. Come to think of it, most mmo's seem to come with good soundtracks, can't think of anyone that's not actually good and worth listenting to :) |
