If your computer can currently play the game sounds you don't need to upgrade and can probably find something much better to spend your quid on.

I can't imagine playing with sound off either. It wouldn't be the same game at all. I played a monk as my main and mob sound input was very helpful.

I mostly just meant that I doubt you need to buy a special sound card for EQ. I am no audiophile, though.

i play with sounds off. the attack music is horrid to listen to after 5 minutes. The othmir music is quite pleasant though.

even back in the day a lot of folks played EQ with the sound off...I actually thought there was no sound in EQ for the first month that I played, because my friends had turned it all off by the time they called me up to hang out and "see the new game they were playing"---ah memories.

some of the music is actually pretty charming...and the old school sound effects have a real nostalgia to them. (I've always wondered why the loudest sound in EQ is opening and closing a bag. And the "hiccup" sound jumping makes is pretty identifiable to EQ) neither of these require (or would get any better) with a modern high end sound card.

I play with music off, and the thunder sound deleted from SoundAssets, but everything else is still there. I often rely on environment sounds for survival.

Everyone will enable sounds when Velious will go live. Especially for velketor music!
