I have to say if there is anything that I love about this game, even as it's being over-run with hacks, it's the music. Both for nostalgia reasons, for example Henesys/Ellinia/Perion/Kerning City, or because I genuinely think the music sounds good.
I guess I'll just post a ton behind a spoiler tag.
Spoiler
I'll be frank.
Maple's music was a snoozefest until the day Temple of Time/Leafre was implemented, they must have gotten a new music director or something, cause from then on it's been golden. Not even nostalgia can save the older stuff for me. Henesys sounds like it was done on a Casio. only exception is, of course, Masteria, our exclusive area.
Edelstein areas and Cygnus Garden in particular are filled with success. Matter of fact, near everything post BB is much higher quality.

It was mediocre to me, until Ludibrium came out. I fell in love with the Ludi PQ music; it's a very nostalgic song for me.
Maple music has to be one of the feats that drew me into this game. and shockingly it's one of the only things that is improving as time goes on! (imo at least) My favourite has to be PB battle BGM or horntail. I have always been a hoar to battle music through. :f5:
I loved the Visitor PQ "Remixes" or something similar when it was available, sometimes i afked for hours in there just to hear the music.
Eh, I like some of em, but they boring and repetitive pretty quick.
For example, I really liked the Ereve music when Ereve came out, but now whenever I go there, the calmness of it bores me, so I tend to leave sound off in places like that.
I'm a pretty good of Edelstein and Verna Mine's music though xP The clicks in Verne mine make it sound interesting.

- Ludi Clocktower heading down the left side (Buffys, Vikings)...entire side is amazing
- HTPQ, HT Battle, & PB Battles are above all my absolute favorites
- Acquired a newfound love for Cygnus Garden music (music that plays in the Empress battle...reminds me so much of Kingdom Hearts for some reason...)
- Ardentmill music...lovelovelove
and although it's not out for us yet, the Crack of Dimension music while in the warped time temple maps and the Akaryum battle music are absolutely incredible :)
I love so many tracks that I lost count. Many of them really make you feel many emotions, such as nostalgia, sadness, happiness, etc.. and they're just overall great, especially the recent ones. The first ones were great too, especially some as Ludibrium PQ, as someone else pointed out.
What I noticed is that they ALL have a passage in which there are some notes in common.. played in the same sequence. ALL of them. It almost seems that those are the main notes of Maple's login screen BGM.
Anyone else noticed that?
HT music is kinda nice.
My favorite will always be Phantom Forest followed by CWK mountain area, though.
It has been a very long while that I have turned off my BGM, some of these are very nice though. The only problem is that they are too short for maps that you are staying for longer than 10 minutes.
I dont think Ive ever turned off the maple music ever since i played 5-6 yrs. To me if youre gonna play a game you gotta listen to the music to provide. But even so I enjoy the variety of themes from the game.
This one's my favorite. Too bad it's not in game anymore.

^ ok, i'll give credit there. I forgot about that one.
I loved leveling new mages/thieves in slime tree/horny mush tree way back.
It is completely epic! I love Ludi Clocktower music, Elluel music, and my favorites are the Phantom BGMs.

I have had MS muted for the last 3 years, at least. I do know I liked Mushroom Shrine, not sure if it's the same right now. I swear it was either from FFVIII or 9. Sp similar.
My favorite is and will always be ToT road of regrets.
This BGM still exists in the 2 remaining tree dungeons + that tree MD that has Estelle in it. Ellinia in general is a nostalgia attack of the highest order.Quote:

My two favorite songs in the game.

I've always loved the music in MapleStory since I first started playing it. There are very few BGMs I've heard in the game that I didn't like. Though I haven't heard any of the BGM for Edelstein, LHC, most of Leafre, most of ToT, Future Hene, Elin Forest and a few other places because I stopped listening to the BGMs in-game a while ago. First ToT BGM I heard was the first one in the OP, and my god that's amazing.
I used to never listen to the in-game sound (only rarely didn't have it on total mute).
Lately though, I've developed a habit of leaving the sound on every so often.
I don't know when I was last in Omega Sector, but apparently this is my favorite since I woke up the other day with it stuck in my head.
Didn't even realize it was Maplestory at first; was trying to decide if it was from a Megaman or a Donkey Kong Country.

That, El Nath, Lith Harbor, Orbis, and Perion (for whatever reason; probably because I spent so much time in Perion ch1 way back when).Quote:

When I still played Maplestory it was one of the only games I didn't have on mute.
It is. The music is used in Curse Eye and Cold Eye trees, and the Cold Eye minidungeon.Quote:

Bit different from most MS songs, but I loved this track
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqO8Qm0ybTs
Spent a good few hours figuring it out on guitar too. I love the Ellinia one as well! From the Horned/Green mushroom dungeon map.
Edelstein, Ardentmill, basically all of Leafre, Phantom Forest, and so much more which i'm too tired to think of.
Maplestory music really is fantastic, i didn't even really realize until i saw this thread.
Man, I don't understand how some people can play this MMO without the music on. Maple has some pretty awesome tracks.
Lith Harbor, Orbis PQ's tower, Temple of Time, Slime/horned/green mushy trees, LHC music (some of it), Elluel, The outer areas of Ludi Tower, Pink Bean's theme, the last area of Temple of Time (right before pink bean), Minar Forest. God there are a pomegranate ton of awesome songs, in my opinion. Most of the victoria songs serve as nostalgia kicks to the face for me, but the Ossyria ones and other areas are just great in general.
The music from Maple Story is great in most zones... and some of them have potential (the last new music from Ellin Forest has the potential... but only for 1 map???)
Most favorite songs, even though most of those aren't yet released (though some are on GMST). Prepare for video overload:
Awesomeness Awaits
Given how awesome CWKPQ was, I can't believe I had forgotten about this one. Shame on me v_vQuote:

I haven't seen this one yet...probably because you never get an opportunity to hear the whole track ingame, except during the Visitor event.
Spoiler
Maplestory, the only game that I play with BGM on, it's BGM makes you feel all kind of emotions, and it can even make you sleepy, like the one in ToT Memory lanes.
QUOTED. The anger towards them for not opening it last year.......Quote:

I like Orbis and Monster Carnival music, mainly because I spent most of my pre-big bang days there. Kerning is annoying now just because of how long I spent doing KPQ there. I love the Ellinia music. And this? I miss the maps "The Tree that Grew" Hardcore mages will remember that one... My favorite. Henesys Hunting Ground music is nostalgia. I to this day despise Nexon for getting rid of that map... Henesys Market is still nostalgia... spent a TON of time trying to get the items on top of that structure above gachapon...
Event music back when GM's held events.
You must be crazy if this doesn't bring you any nostalgia.
Mushroom Town Training camp... everyone from Pre-BB remembers dressing up as an apple learning about the 4 jobs. Back when there were only 4 jobs... *dies inside*
I think everyone here can agree that the music on the boat to Orbis is rather... nostalgic.
Leafre sounds awesome... I remember when they added Leafre, 4th job, and mounts. Loooong time ago... /cries
WE ALL REMEMBER ANT TUNNEL... Now it's the Sleepywood Dungeon apparently...
Can't leave out Happyville with the music switching sides of my stereo headsets annoyingly...
Whoever the guy who made the Lith Harbor soundtrack is... he tops Mozart and Bach and Beatoven(?)
Basically everything before big bang brings back memories to me anyways...
This reminds me of my grandma because she has a lot of toys from when I was a youngin'... and I remember when they added Ludi. Right when I joined MS.

On vacation I met a guy who recognized this song while I was whistling it sitting on a bench in a botanical garden. I met an actual mapler... O_O
The boatrides (especially from orbis to ludi) were the best for me.
Same here, I really love the music of Lith Harbor as well.Quote:

I doubt I could ever forget the CWK music. It's one of the few times I was truly blown away.
Well you never know... those ponies? They get to ya...Quote:

I never really cared about playing an "epic, full adventure with drama, and serious business!" back when I started. I liked the chibi art and simple, up-beat music/mobs/maps. Still do. If I wanted to play something 4srs, I'd go to something you can actually play seriously without spending hundreds of actual dollars to craft good equipment sets.
I ... haven't turned it on in six or seven years ... except when it accidentally comes on when I installed it on a new computer... Dx
Ho-hum. I guess I've been missing out. But, what can I say, when I sub my own music I get memories attached to that song instead. "Yellow Cat Slash Red Cat" by Say Anything will forever remind me of effing Lorangs and Clangs...
I don't see what do ponies have to do with CWK.Quote:

Nowadays, most of the BGM's that are being released along something related to the Black mage have a music I like.
Ellin Forest BGM is my favorite so far.

my fav one...
I would like to make a playlist with all the relaxing bgms from ms :redface:
You can't be serious... dear lord this music makes me want to die... xD ah well... it's all personal opinion I guess...Quote:
