The music is wrong.
All you long time players that play with the music on, imagine teleporting to lumbridge. What happens when you get there? Harmony begins playing. What about to Falador? Fanfare begins playing.
All the starting areas have very iconic songs tied to them. Yet there was a change a while ago that made it so the default for new accounts has something called "modern music area mode" where the game chooses a song to play from a collection of songs for the area. It has totally destroyed the musical identity of the starting area of the game. And I don't think most people realize this change since most players aren't often creating new accounts. I understand why the change was made; it's to add more variety to the music for new players to enjoy instead of the same song looping forever. But this creates the music identity problem.
And it can be fixed extremely easily.
Just make modern music mode always select the classic song first. After that, it can choose randomly from the area music list. But the first song should always be cemented, to establish the correct ambiance for the area and help new players associate the location with its identity.
Not playing Harmony every time you arrive at Lumbridge is just a crime.
