[2021] Music Changes not polled

In a recent update changes were made to how music plays when in OSRS. It was changed so that music was grouped in to cities and music would be randomly selected from a list. There are a lot of people, including myself who are very unhappy with this change as it has severed the connections between iconic music and places.

Jagex themselves seem to acknowledge this connection as Harmony still plays when you make a new character and spawn in lumbridge, but is only guaranteed to play on that initial visit. The reason given for this exception is that because it is nostalgic, but they don't seem to realize that it's nostalgic precisely because it played EVERY time you went to lumbridge, the connection between Harmony and Lumbridge was concrete. It won't be nostalgic for new players as Harmony will only play ~20% of the time you are in lumbridge castle.

Book of spells for example was composed to fit the area behind lumbridge, walking from lumbridge castle through the graveyard and into the swamp the music would go quiet (beginning of book of spells) and all you could hear was the bubbling of the swamp as the music slowly builded. It was fantastic, and this effect is all but gone now and it's really disappointing.

I could keep listing examples, like how Inspiration can play in the chaos altar now...

Something like this really should have been polled from the start and I find it baffling that it wasn't. I hate to say it, but it makes it really hard to trust Jagex when stuff like this gets randomly changed out of the blue.

At the very least I would implore the team to please add this new music system as an opt-in toggle-able feature so that everyone can be happy.
