Warcraft’s Expansion Promises New Soundtrack
This may just be my own personal preferences, but I’m a big fan of music in an MMO. It really improves the immersion, and the setting can get you amped up in the middle of an epic raid fight or relax as you pop through the darkmoon faire. Warcraft has always been known for it’s quality soundtracks and they’ve gone out of their way in many instances to provide a unique musical experiences and even videos (as with lament of the highborne). As such, I was excited to hear from a recent blizzard CM that music will play an important role in the expansion:
If you have the music off, you are really really missing out. I know that different people have different taste in music, but the music is specifically designed to involve you in the game and the region you are in. There is both simplicity and complexity in the music depending on what emotion is being evoked and even the dissonance is calculated. If it makes you feel a little off kilter, then it’s doing what it’s supposed to be. I don’t know if you listened to BlizzCast 4 or not, but it might be something you would want to listen to for a bit more information about how the music is created and what Wrath has in store for everyone as well.
Like I say quite often, if you have constructive feedback on the music, you are always welcome to share it, but keep in mind to please keep it respectful and constructive. (Not saying that you weren’t being so, but just a reminder for those that go a little overboard.)
