RE-ADD THE AMAZING MUSIC!

mp3 files

Because they would use quite a lot of space compared to any other resource in the game. Adding all the previous as MP3 files would more than double the download size.

I dont see reason why game in 2016 couldnt be more than few dozen MB's.

Am I the only one who disliked the old music? I just thought it was annoying and always had it turned off. Part of it might be the fact that it was usually quiet except in very specific circumstances, though, as it felt very inconsistent.

Im curious, what do people think about the music and how it works right now? Does anyone listen to it or does everyone disable it?
The little 5 second long jingles constantly playing one after another the way it does now is really strange to me. I'd like to hear the music play for longer before fading away into another little 5 second music clip.

I really like the new music, and I would also like to hear it for longer. Hell, I'd prefer if there was just music playing in the background all the time.

Yeah, those 5 second music/ambient segments get mighty annoying after awhile.
A number of lengthy (>5min ?) soft background tracks which fade out in case of fights or similar events into a more appropriate, energetic, tune for such event, would have been much better imo.

Keep in mind that download speeds are not solely determined by the bandwidth to your premises, but also the bandwidth along the route to the server. I have, for instance, noted that quite some people in the US "only" get download speeds of some 100-200 kB/s from the server, even though they have 10Mbps+ bandwidth to their premises. At those speeds, the initial download is already 5 minutes or more, which I consider suboptimal.
