Champions of Sliske. I loved Sliske as a villain, andwhen he pulled out that trap card, it almost felt like it was meant to be. My jaw dropped, and I still give credit to that track for giving me the adrenaline to win. You knew that battle would take minutes to win, and that allowed for us to appreciate the whole five minutes, all of it dynamic.

I don't know if you had planned for those three tracks to work together so well, but my god, It was destiny. I could go on for so long about all the aspects of this track that I loved; the sweet buildup from Nomad's Battered soul leading the original RS leitmotif, how well different genres here complimented each other so damn well, the piano in the middle that gives your body breathing room before hitting you hard so you can give the battle that last push, and so much more. I'll stop here however, before I start talking about the other tracks I've loved over the years and still listen to every now and then.

Return of Lucien
The Evil Within

Zaros stirs
Bad Idea

Theres more, but now I'll really stop. Just because I have it, it doesn't mean it's true. -

The Tower will Always be the music piece that will bring up many memories.
Way back, during the beta of RS2 (late 2003, early 2004), I tested the beta once in a while with my old main. At a given time, you guys released the music player and everything around it at that time.
At the tower building north of Ardougne, you could kill the chaos druids for their high herb drop. As farming didn't excist yet, they were one of the most used monsters for getting herbs. Plus, you needed to have a certain thieving level to enter the door. Since not everybody had the needed thieving level, I went there, as herblore (called herblaw in RSC) was my favorite skill.
I remember, when the music came online, I logged in on the beta, standing in Falador. The first song I remember I have heard was Fanfare 1, played in Falador. I went to Ardougne, to hear some more songs and to get to the druids.
As with many new things, not everything came on my pc (which had a bit off a laggy moment back then), so I didn't heard all the music. I came nearby the tower above East Arougne. Suddenly, a song started to play, and a very good one too!
I went to the music interface, and saw the title of the song: The Tower. I was so stuned, on hearing such a great song on a very great place on gathering herbs.

At this day, everytime I hear the song, I think of how great RS was during the beta testing. I remember on re-discovering RS again, with new improved graphics. The stunning views many people had on how much the game was improved compared to RSC graphics.
Plus, now we had music! Not only sounds of opening a door or growing 1 level in a skill, but real music!

Autumn Voyage -- This song IS RuneScape. I have fond memories of skilling in Lumbridge to this song. The world was so fast and it was crazy how many things you could do and interact with. No game is like it. That sense of wonder is captured in this song.

*fingers crossed* It would be the highlight of my life to visit the nation of Alan Turing and the Beatles. :D

My Favorite will always be the opening theme music on the log in screen from Old School. I started playing around 2005-07 so I could spend time with my son and this will always bring back memories of the fun we had. He is grown up now and married himself but we still share this game and those memories. :D

I love everything about the runescape music especially the first soundtracks. When I used to relax when I was in runescape as a noob. It always gave me a sense of contentment. I made my own playlist in the game. On my old account, I managed to unlock the air guitar emote on my old account. I've been playing on and off now since priorities and responsibilities take over but from time to time, I open YouTube to play an old school playlist of the music. My eyes always wells up with tears just hearing the nostalgia. Runescape will always be the best instrumental baroque music.

Does it have to be only one? XD
That being said: Fragments of Guthix. The first piece I heard after the EoC release, it invoked in me a certain....somber feeling that came with the situation that was happening. We said goodbye to one God, and with Him, an "old friend" that was Runescape 2. From there, to me everything has been uphill and and a monument to its greatness. We fought for improvement, chose sides in many battles and even brought two Children back to the physical world. that is something that will stick with me forever.

Classic Theme

Relief: The dial-up modem has finally loaded.

Sadness: There are some friends who I used to train with, but who have now passed into the abyss irl; gone but not forgotten.

Hope: There are some friends who have entered the Wilderness & no longer play, but may return one day.

Joy: Time together today with old friends and new.

The original opening song, there was nothing better than opening up runescape on my good ol’ dial up and my little 10 year old eyes bulging out as the song starts. Knowing I was about to waste away my day gettin’ them gains on RS and being a shitstain to society <3 mmmm those memories, I can hear that original opener in my head as we speak :)
I sometimes like to imagine that I'm a civilian again on weekends, then I wake up on Monday and instantly hate my life.
