Is Runes of Magic music used in other games ??

I tried another game called Goodgame Empire, and after making an account and logining in, I noticed the music they play is exactly identical to the Varanas entrance music ? So I'm wondering if the developpers lease their music or something??

I have had a similar experience with Neverwinter Nights 1 & 2.

Here's a link for a lot of the music put out by Runewaker the developer of the game. Also, you can follow them through YouTube and other social networks to find out the composer is very popular.

Some music in different games comes from a databank. That databank is used by tons of different game makers. So you may just find the same music in several games. It has been done for quite a while and is actually normal. Some music just fits.

I watched a show on TV that used the music in DDC.

They do use a databank. They've consulted and worked with a company called "Dynamedion". Dynamedion keeps its own vault of music that it leases out to different projects: games being a sector that utilizes their music a lot.

Here's an article that may reveal a little bit about how this process has worked with Runewaker: http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/02/21/…ith-dynamedion/
