SWTOR has the benefit of piggybacking great John Williams scores. WOW has some great music at times. LOTRO is pretty boring in the score department. But again, it has no chance to stand against the LOTR film score. |

The WoW soundtracks are incredible and I love them, but yeah, SWTOR's is unmatched. There's actually a review of it over here: http://tracksounds.com/reviews/star_wars_old_republic_mark_griskey.htm I hope they get the chance to create more music for the game in future years. |

Some great music in games these days. Personally I think Final Fantasy IV had the best music, they even did some concerts with actual orchestras playing it. Music in Lotro is darn good too. So was the free music given away from torchlight II was very good. SWTOR music was excellent, but so are many others.

Honestly, the music in TOR is a miss.
Not only most of the time it does not fits the planet/environement but also it seldom fits a SW setting at all.
Remove the SW name on in the titles, have people listen to the music and ask them what IP they are from. It's the exact same thing as the gear art in the game. |

Like many other posters have noted ,and I am glad to see that the music is remembered as it was great , that AoC's sountrack is regarded by many as the best soundtrack score for a mmorpg. Honestly it put any other's I've played to shame. EQ's oringinal midi intro still holds most nostalgic tune though.

I enjoyed the music in SWTOR, but Age of Conan was the MMO that really blew me away when it came to the soundtrack. The Eiglophian Mountains track, in particular, is a favorite of mine. http://youtu.be/kQxOTMF0NMY Michael "MikeB" Bitton |

Originally posted by MikeB I dunno, the AoC song you linked didn't have any memorable parts to it. It was dreamy, It got louder towards the end.
AoC songs don't really hold any emotion, or thoughts. (Sorry) They didn't have themes to make the mind wander in intrigue. They were just ... songs.
Now, the original theme from Conan movies (Barbarian & Destroyer) had humungous music qualities. The soundtrack was brilliant. I own the soundtrack. AoC? meh.
The Soundtrack from the 80's Conan movies are worth knowing. Want a nice understanding of life? Try Spirit Science: "The Human History" |

Yeah? and Star Wars Galaxies had the best music of any MMORPG before it was shut down.

Musically, amibiently, graphically......take your pick but TSW blows SWTOR out of the water on all counts in this department.
