Quest Complete Jingle

[Droog007]

I hear EQ bear noises all the damn time. At least, I heard them first on EQ. I think.

[Pringles]

The gator sounds from UO are used heavily on the Gator Boys TV show. I LOL every time I hear it.

I remember one day my kids were watching some Christmas show. I can't recall if it was a cartoon or one of the stop motion shows but one of the characters cast some spell and when it took effect it made the very familiar and much loved EQ level up ding and I almost jumped out of my chair.
I believe the sounds are all stock sounds which production companies use. Usually there's a minimal license fee or none if a public domain type thing because I've heard many EQ sounds in the oddest of places on shows..
It's pretty cool to hear and have that wave of nostalgia wash over you..

There is a matching game (card matching) on the Nabi which has the rat sound effect (the one they make when they are hit).

I also heard the ding noise on Jake and the Neverland Pirates (Disney show)

The old nickelodeon game show, "Figure it out," used the quest jingle in every episode.

South Park takes jingles from Heroes of Might and Magic III all the time.

Shit's just stock.

Tracked down an example from what sox7d mentioned:

I'd be interested in seeing if anyone tracks down ding's on youtube as well, pretty entertaining.

i swear ive heard the (fire nuke casting) sound on an old car commercial.. i wanna say it was mazda or something stupid (zoom zoom)

I'd be really curious to find out what the history of those oft-used EQ sounds are; whether or not Verant bought up a library when making the game, or if they decided to take advantage of non-exclusive licensing after the game took off.

Those elements are everywhere, and they're spread out across all kinds of libraries. I know I've worked on an animated project before where the music supervisor licensed a "spooky elements" library that had, among many other sounds, a bunch of skeleton crunch/collapse samples and the skeleton giggle that were identical to the EQ elements.

Also, fun fact - a lot of musicians are hardcore gamers (the fuck else do you do with 10 hours of drive time a day), as are a lot of producers/engineers, and they get a huge kick of sneaking samples/elements from games or movies into songs. Take a listen to this track -

Listen carefully and in the background of the chorus you'll hear a clip of the abjuration spell cast.

I picked this one, not because it's done well but because it's more obvious than most. I personally would have pitch shifted it up so it wasn't rubbing against the track so bad, but whatever.

Kinda related, I've been trying to place this one for a while and I think it's a Toyota Camry open-door sound shifted to G (spoiler alert, it's a Kelly Clarkson track):

If any more examples of EQ/game samples hidden in tracks come to mind, I'll post 'em.

I've heard the skeleton noises and certain spell sound effects all throughout my life after EQ. I just wish I could remember from what exactly. I think it has been off cartoons more than anything, though I do remember some noises from shows or movies that have the same kind of theme that the show Supernatural does. It's always been an awesome feeling when that brought me back to the old days of EQ.

I'm fairly certain I have heard the skeleton noises other places as well. On TV shows, I think.
