    Like the subject suggests, if you had to list the top 3 maps or so of the entire MapleLegends world that has your favorite background music, and why? My top 3 maps would be:
    - Lith Harbor, main town
    - El Nath, main town
    - Ludibrium, main town
    - honorary mention: the login music lol

    What are some general ideas that come to mind when you think about or hear Maple music (or how does it feel different from BGM music in other video games)? Some words or phrases that come to mind are:
    - transportive
    - nostalgic
    - most games just have serviceable music that's "assigned" to maps and places, which isn't necessarily bad but I feel like Maple's music does so much more than that.

    Feel free to include some underrated maps too (e.g. Omega Sector Kulan Field maps)!

    My opinion, not staff.

    LPQ, GPQ, Christmas event map.

    Entering LPQ back in GMS was so incredibly nostalgic for me.

    I loved the nostalgia factor of the PQs in general, how you would spend so much time in the lobby map waiting for your party leader to click fast enough so you would get into the PQ map. You immediately knew you got in because the music changed and the screen fade-out/in happened :cat:

    Back in my middle school days of early MapleStory (before I thought to use YouTube) I would get my Lv 30-something I/L mage down to Orbis Tower 7th floor and then use a return scroll so I could park the character in El Nath town just so I could listen to the music on repeat while I did homework lol

    Last xmas event whenever I had to afk to do other work I would do the same for Happyville and have a character afking in the map so I could study while listening to Happyville music haha

    Dam that literally captures my feeling. LPQ is the biggest offender for that.

    This might be unpopular but I'm fan of El Nath: Sharp Cliff/Wolf Territory. A lot of the older maps (pre-4th job) have BGMs that really captured the ambience of the environment (as opposed to something like Leafre). Another note is that these older soundtracks had some fetish for didgeridoos; they're also used in Perion and Ant Tunnel.

    Ellinia tree map BGMs are also a fan-favorite.

    omg yes the didgeridoo sound is so distinct and they use it quite a lot in those "less inviting" maps like in Perion and Ant Tunnel

    I personally also loved Slime Tree and I would also park my character in the one safe spot in Slime Tree so I could listen to the music while studying

    GOAT - this song is required to grind at the shaolin floors because it makes grinding so much more immersive :^). Makes you absolutely lose your damn mind, hence number 1.


    Close second - no explanation required really.


    Last but not least - absolute banger. Reminds me of the Warrior Throne chair grind from GMS days. The depth is unreal.

    1. Orbis: Come with Me
    I remember climbing down the tower for first time while vibing with this song. It really boosts my adventurous spirit to go into the unkown. No guide or anything, just my trusty weapon and skills.


    2. Aqua Road: Blue World
    "Woah I can swim! Weeeeee *spam spacebar* " - my first reaction when entering aqua road

    This list is based mostly on nostalgia. I'm pretty sure I found MapleLegends back in 2017/2018 b/c I was being super nostalgic about Maplestory music one day, then ads about private servers started popping up everywhere.

    1. Above the Treetops (Lith Harbor)



    2. Snowy Village (El Nath)



    3. Wherever You Are (Deep Ludibrium)



    Honorable Mentions:

    4. Floral Life (Henesys)



    5. Temple of Time

    In no specific order; Ellinia, Temple of Time, and El Nath.
    They have a very calming appeal to me.

    Ellinia's Magic Library.

    And I can't think of a better place to ask this so I'd like to try my luck again: Does anyone know the title of that soundtrack?

    Back in MapleSEA where I used to play, the Magic Library didn't have its own BGM and instead just shared the same BGM as that of Ellinia town. But on MapleLegends it's different, and the first time I entered the map I was entranced. The music is so calming, so serene, so cozy. It's up there as my top, unmatched soundtrack in all of Maple. Honestly, I wish I could listen to it 24/7.

    But as it stands, I still haven't found the name of it even after going into the depths of YouTube and Google multiple times, going crazy each time that I do, because every website I visited (including MapleLegends' Library by the way!) would just list the Ellinia town's BGM as the Magic Library's BGM. I've even asked around but never got an answer. If anyone's able to enlighten me I would be so incredibly grateful. MapleF4
