I’ve been wondering this for a while now, but why is that option missing from the Sound menu? I could be misremembering but I thought this was a feature back in the day. But even if it was added later, I still can’t really think of why it would be removed specifically for classic.

For those who don’t know what I’m referring to, its an option that enables a sort of echo effect for sounds and voices while inside caves, or castles or such places.

I’m so used to that effect it just feels like there’s a layer of atmosphere in the world that’s missing without it. That atmosphere being one of my favorite things about the old world, I can’t help but be a bit disappointed.

I’ve tried looking it up but I haven’t found anything about it. I’m curious if anyone has an answer, or if I’m the only one who even noticed it was missing.

Huh. Honestly i’ve never noticed the option. I can google early reference back as far as 2010. Didn’t see anything before that. But I didn’t look too hard.

I think its just always on now, you can’t turn it off. Just like Death Knight voices back in the day, there used to be an option to turn that off.

This would make sense. It may have been like that in vanilla. Except the effect definitely isn’t present. Or at least it isn’t on my client.
