I want to thank the music creators really badly. It's been a month or so since I returned to Old School Runescape. Been under a lot of stress lately and that caused me to have "ear worms" (really dumb songs stuck in my head for days non stop even when I was sleeping).

I decided to come back to lower my stress levels, but I noticed that after a week, the "ear worms" were completely gone. Not only my stress levels went down, but the soft music of the game (and the happy playing memories that came with them) did the trick. I'm forever grateful and can't wait to rediscover all the songs that I've missed and the new ones added since my playing days.

Thanks!

I still have nostalgia for the old school music with the harder and more simple tones, but I like how atmospheric the music is in RS! I'm sure there's a word or phrase to describe it, music in RS feels like background music, while music on Old School is active.

The music in Seer's Village is rememberable in Old School, but even I got annoyed at it on-loop eventually while doing rooftop agility, and I almost never turn off in-game music :p In RS it's the same song, but much softer, calm, pleasant on loop, and fits the calm atmosphere of the village.

I absolutely LOVE RS music... I usually have the music on while playing but I had been away for a while, but when I came back to play (since nobody truly quits RS, just take extended breaks ;) ) I've been finding myself playing RS music a lot more and for the nostalgia especiallyyyy!!

That's really cool that the music helped you in that way. I myself tend to get nostalgic when listening to the really old RS songs like the ones in Lumbridge and classic game areas. I think whoever at Jagex creates the music is really creative and doesn't get enough credit. That sort of thing tends to fly under the radar unthanked.
