The Q1 gamejam is next week, and I committed in this week's livestream https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2061690966 (00:46:47) to fix a long-requested niche issue, reinstating unique levelup jingles for combat skills.
There's a very dedicated voice that requests this fix in every weekly game update newspost: eg
- https://www.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/1ajdwhx/comment/kp0dyx1/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
- https://www.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/1adsqf0/comment/kk38lpr/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
It's also a fix that's been requested a lot over the years. These are some of the related hits I found on this subreddit, for example:

Looking into it, the levelup jingles specifically for Attack, Strength, Defence, Ranged and Magic were changed to the Troll Warzone's chapter complete jingle in October 2012.
While clearly deliberate in the manner it was implemented, I couldn't find a reason for it in our change logs or enquiring with designers/developers/musicians on that project - I can only surmise it was due to levelling up those skills during the linear Troll Warzone tutorial, back when that was a thing.
Nonetheless, I've been asked to validate the request to ensure it's broadly what players want.
So before I fix this in gamejam, do I hear any objections to reinstating unique levelup jingles for these combat skills?
