seriously, prontera theme song...really? i feel like im in an elevator in the year 1985 or something. this games been around for a decade and they still havnt updated the music at all. they should have house music, minimal, or techno playing in towns. maybe some jungle.

is there a way to change your sound files to play dif songs?

I beg to differ though, I loved the Prontera Theme song. : P But to each their own. I don't want techno in city maps.

Excuse me? Your electronicrap would not do the game any favors!

Kids these days and their noise...

Exit all RO clients
Move RO to location OUTSIDE of program files (if on Windows Vista or later - otherwise this step may be skipped - RO generally has fewer problems located outside program files, because the developers don't know how to play well with windows UAC, even though UAC has been around since vista).
Use a map database to find what number the song you want to replace is.
Open the BGM folder in your RO folder. Find the appropriately numbered file. Move it to a backup location. Now copy the song you want to replace it with to that folder, and rename it to what the file you're replacing was named (ex 02.mp3 or 132.mp3).

Wow what? RO has some of the best music I've ever heard come from any game, MMO or otherwise.

I'd legit break my speakers if I ever went to a map and heard techno playing.

you guys are on crack. ive heard better music in like almost every mmo ive ever played. warcraft had some of the best songs in any video game ever. this music is outdated WANNABE electronic crap which is ironic because youre saying my idea is crap for wanting real electronic music....

some of the songs are bad versions of jungle already. some are bad breakbeats songs. by edm standards, this is produced really poorly. by modern video game standards this is really poor quality music. theres no reason to have such low quality samples for tracks in the year 2013.

Payon is one of the only towns that has a reasonable song.

There is, and that reason is that everyone else but you likes them.

Ummm... if you hate it so much why dont you turn off bgm or do what azzy said? For me, RO has by far the most memorable BGMs compared to other MMOs.

The game has one of the most nostalgic bgm, you can't understand this because you haven't played RO like we did, years ago.

uhh...sry bro, but ive been playing since before the turtle island patch was even put in over 7-8 years ago. i thought the music was lame even back then, but now its just flat out horrible after having played so many other mmos. seriously, most of it sounds like elevator music or that crappy music they play when youre on hold on the phone for a long time

Thread has been moved to off-topic after discussion of another MMO has been brought into the topic as a comparison to RO.

1. Use the command "/bgm" to turn RO's music off
2. Run Winamp or WMP in the background, set up a playlist of songs that, according to you, don't suck
3. Set the play mode to Loop, turn on Shuffle if desired, and click the Play button, then resume playing RO
4. ????

This is probably a better solution, since this way you don't get stuck listening to the same song over and over.

I wonder if you could rig up some way to continually feed music (from a library set up different for each map) on shuffle, to the game.... Now THAT would be cool!

Sure OP, how about we add an option to use a fedora and a scarf while we heard some indie house (Insert obscure group). Gotta keep up with the times.
