I haven't seen a thread about this yet, so I'll just make it to inform people who might care.


Pre-Rubicon 1.3:
There was a folder called EVE\res\audio\Jukebox filled with AMBIENT[numbers].mp3 files, which were the backgrounds of various parts of New Eden. This folder allowed you to listen to any BGM you felt like, regardless of where in EVE (or even in another game) you were, simply by loading them with your choice of music program.


Post-Rubicon 1.3:
This folder is gone, with no indication of its removal in the Patch Notes.


This change is disappointing to me, mostly because I would have liked to at least have been made aware that the Jukebox folder was going the way of the dinosaurs. I did enjoy the freedom of choice offered by the Jukebox.

I faintly recall CCP had something else where we could listen to (and download maybe? not sure) the different tunes, including the older expansion themes, but I do not remember exactly where that was.

Side note: Forum still eats posts.

Oh, I perfectly understand, Hal Morsh — a mission like this requires courage, skill, and heroism… qualities you are clearly lacking. Have you forgotten you're one of the bloody immortals!?

Thank you, Mr. Obutale.
