I remember CoH had some awesome music pieces. But that was it. They was just pieces. And then it would just be silent forever until I walked into a new area. Part of the reason I love games like WoW is cause the music keeps playing. I love being able to be in all sorts of zones and having the games BGM playing to keep me emerged into the game. Yea I could just play my own music. But, the game music I love to hear. I love hearing fast pace music playing as I go into a dungeon where I have to stop a bomb. Or be running around and hear battle music play as I'm in a fight. AO had such awesome battle music system. It would change depending on how you were doing in the battle. If you were losing the music would convey that. If you were winning or about to win, then the music would have this epic heroic feeling to it. So for me personally, I hope there is lots of BGM that you can select to play on a loop or not. WoW music has some nice long pieces but they do stop playing if you dont have them on a loop.

As long as the music isn't annoying - or can fade into the background somewhat. I imagine there will be a sound option to turn it off or a music slider of some sort. I mean I hope the music is epic, but that's not the case for all games (see Champion Online's music - for some reason it really grates my ears - can't stand listening to most of it).
^^;;; CO music is forgettable enough that I practically don't have any memory of actually hearing any music in CO.

I'm glad I'm not the only person who wished the music wouldn't stop in CoH. I know I know, there are all the "I always turn of game music" people, but hey you do your thing, and let the rest of us have our constant BGM.

They could be needlessly cruel and do Nintendo-style Stuck-in-your-head-for-all-space-and-time background music.
Some kind of jukebox or radio system would be great where you could choose from different available background tracks.
Hehe. Imagine. A full radio set up like GTA does. Complete with stations, DJs, commercials, news.
But yea. I would have loved to have BGM happening while I play and when I go in battle. I could have tried to stream music or turn on my music player. But I want the games music. I want to keep with the immersion. If I walked into hall of heroes. I want to hear that epic heroic fanfare music playing. If I walked into a graveyard or catacombs. Then I want to hear that creepy spooky music. Ya know I think the sewers was the only place with constant music. Least I think it was.

Yeah, I was thinking of gta.
I agree about hearing the music as you enter a new zone. Maybe an option where you can turn on your radio when background music fades. Heck, maybe link it to Caperadio or one of the other's livestream.
