i like the retreat sound effects and doors.. lol maybe im just a noobie

I turned off sound from day 1, and I play my own music
However, sound effects for low health or level up may tempt me to turn it back on since it will serve a practical use

I remember the 1st time I got membership in like late 2003. Heard those god awful sounds and turned them off. Haven't been on since and I plan to keep it that way.

Did you ever hear the level up sound?  I think it's really cool, it's the ONLY sound effect in the game I like.  Also, it actually serves a purpose since often you might not notice when you gained a level, and could prevent getting unwanted xp or if you just had a set goal to train to a certain level.  Also it's a form of positive reinforcement, the more we hear that sound and it associates to something good, the more we will want to hear that sound, thus creating an extra desire to play.

And of course the option is still there to have full or none, it's just an extra option for those that might want it.

There's a sound effect already for level up, that's the one I'm talking about.  But it's not worth it to have to hear every sword clank and skill noise along the way just to get the level up sound effect.  Low health sound effect is also a good idea, but it'd be a whole new feature to implement.  But if we're implementing new stuff like that, I'd also like a sound effect that lets you know when another real player has attacked you.  Would help afk'ing a lot.
