A mysterious area which was planned to be released, but in the end it wasn't

A lot of time ago (it's so much time ago that I don't even remember..), an unused BGM was released.

The BGM's name is WhereTheBalrogFrom and you can find it in Slip's BGM thread.

The BGM is this one, and was never used. Don't you find it mysterious? They could've thought about making Jr. Balrog an expedition boss like Balrog, but they decided to make it free for all before the release, and this BGM was supposed to be used for it?

There is no other explanation possible for this, really. As you can hear, it's an old-style BGM. The new BGMs made from KMS have a "newer" style, while if you ever listened carefully to all the MapleStory BGMs, this one, compared to the newer ones, looks more "old-style".

There aren't any other unused BGMs in the data as far as I know, other than this one which just sounds like another version of the Showa's BGM which has been added in the data for mistake.

What do you think about it? What did they want to do with this BGM?

Probably nobody will ever give an answer, but if someone as expert as Isaac could tell us what it could've been for, it'd be really appreciated.

Sorry if this is the wrong section, anyway. If it is, please move it in the appropriate one. Thank you.

The WhereTheBalrogFrom BGM seems connected more or less to Perion (sorta, since it sounds like a remix of both Perion and Deep Ant Tunnel).

And as for that Showa BGM, I thought it was supposed to be an outside-of-town song for the Street maps, no?

[COLOR="Green"]Like Zach said, it sounds a lot like Perion. I live there, as I feel like being a warrior means I should AFK there, and I know and love it by heart. This seems like 2 musics in one, as it gets really silent at the end.

Perhaps it could have been for some kinda of area that involved Crimson Balrogs not on the ship.[/COLOR]

it gets really silent at the end.

Just like Ant Tunnel's BGM is.

Just like Ant Tunnel's BGM is.

[COLOR="Green"]But then it would make more sense if it was a moving BGM, because its kinda dumb to have it sound like 2 different places if you're not making the music uniformly throughout.

I'm stuck listening to it now, cause it's kinda cool. Thanks Derpmeister.[/COLOR]

Imagine for once that, story-wise, the balrog "scapes" his prison, and goes berserk around some place, and you have to fight the unnerfed Balrog, with your unnerfed self.

I'd find this music fitting for that area.

IIRC, the BGM 'Elfwood' is unused too . (http://cid-8de1c7f713aafc75.skydrive.liv...lfwood.mp3)

There are some composed BGM's that has never been used.
MorningShot,which is a good song,with people singing wasn't used.
Elfwood,AKA UnknownGuitar as original name,wasn't ever used UNTIL JMS' maple island,which has this BGM on their maps.
It's the same case as this one,oh,and a special BGM called Yumi,which is a different version from Hana,which is showa BGM,there is a notable difference in the beggining.

Edit:Nevermind about showa BGM,it was used for an event map.

Np, hurpa derpity derp.

Yeah. That'd actually be pretty cool.

Oh yeah, that, too. It sounds like it was supposed to be used for a place like Ellinia.. or.. maybe an event place like Happyville? I don't know why but that BGM's name, Elfwood, always made me think of an event place like Happyville..

But indeed the BGM I posted is more mysterious than the Elfwood one.

I've never heard of the MorningShot BGM before. Can you give me a link to it?

Elfwood was used for JMS' Maple Island, but, as you said, it wasn't used before. My guess is that it was made for something else, but then JMS decided to use it for its Maple Island. Who knows what that "something else" was?

Also, thanks for clarifying the Yumi BGM.

BGM Jukebox > MorningShot.
It was never used,though.

maybe They were going to make it so you can go aboard the crimson ballrog ship when your going to orbis and elina and thats where the bgm came from...
just a guess D:

I personally think it might work well with Andras, Astaroth, etc.

Which version has this file in its Jukebox folder? I'm quite sure GMS doesn't.

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure they're GMS-exclusive ideas and they weren't planned to be released since the release of the Ant Tunnel.. :f6: Because that's when I think that BGM was released.. I'm not sure, though.

perhaps, and this is just my guess, it could be used for old sappe village, or krakia even, or perhaps even maybe that yetinyx.

Read the post above yours.

Anyway, the part of the BGM which makes it even more mysterious is around 1:37.. I really wonder what was it supposed to be used for.

Also, you can hear a verse of an animal, around 00:48.. what was it for? I heard it somewhere else.. the swamp, maybe?

GMS Exclusive idea?
This BGM is in every MS version,and has been on jms data since it's 1.3x version or so,which was when i started playing there,when i did listen to those with MapleDump,which is hella old,it has been there for years.

The name of the song is WhereTheBarlogFrom. As said on Ace's site, Wizet misspelled the name of the song when they added it around beta, and never dealt with it again.

The song Eregos hasn't been used yet either. I'm more interested in that one, really. It's like, doesn't really fit with maple I think.

The weirdest ever though ... is the Bathroom bmg ...

Err... Eregos it's the battle theme used for Ergoth, the GPQ boss. Never did it?

That's what I was trying to say. Andras, Astaroth, etc. are GMS-exclusive idea, and, because that BGM is there since Beta, I doubt it would have been made purposely for them. I'd give anything to know right know WHAT was that BGM made for. That thought is killing me. It's a weird BGM which was never used in any MapleStory version and sounds.. really mysterious. That sound at 1:38.. what.. what does it mean?????

That doesn't give an answer to the question: what was it made for? D:
