Wasn't sure where to post this but... I'm going through all the EQ mp3 files and trying to organize them by expansion. I'm trying to figure out which composers worked on which expansion. Some are easier to find than others. I was wondering if there's a list of credits per expansion somewhere, or if there was any other way to find out who the composers were.
There's a file called credits_previous.txt in the EverQuest installation directory with that information. The credits_current.txt file lists the information for the current expansion.
The main composers are Paul Romero and Rob King. They were recently featured in a 'The EverQuest Show' episode:
They haven't composed for EQ in a long time (not in the past at least 10 years), there was a large block where it was Inon Zur, not sure who has been doing it since EoK
In case anyone is wondering, this is what I've found. Jay Barbeau - Original through Luclin Paul Romero & Rob King - PoP through DoN Laura Karpman - DoD through TBS Chad Mossholder - SoF and SoD Inon Zur - Underfoot through TDS Inon Zur & Mark MacBride - Broken Mirror Mark MacBride - EoK through ToV
Really? rob king did music in might and magic 7 loved the music in that game. Loved the game too played it before i found eq lol. here's youtube on mm7 music strangely to this day the first track always give me goose bumps in a good way. Kinda like remembering something beautiful from your childhood. here the link Andarriel
Fun fact: Veil of Alaris recycles EQ2 music. I'm not sure if any other expansion does too, since my experience in EQ2 only goes 1-2 expansions in. I'm not saying that's a bad thing. The Sarith music sounds more fitting to me there than in a genie bottle, or whatever it was I recall it being from in EQ2. I still love the song regardless. I wonder if a file comparison between the two games' files would provide insight. If I'm not lazy about it I'll try some time later, if they use identical files at least.
