Your task in this round is to create a remix based on any MMORPG default city theme. The track must be played inside the city's walls (or whatever encloses it) and as you navigate its streets/pathways during non-special-event periods. Separate tracks used for establishments within the city like a shop or tower shall not be allowed. Likewise, music from deserted/haunted cities that are actually dungeons shall not be allowed.

The remix must be in a rock or metal style and must also include voice(s). This doesn't mean you have to do an actual live recording. If you have the capabilities to do so, then well and good. Choir samples for, say, "oohs," "aahs," "eehs," "boos," "eeks," or whatever syllable shall suffice.

The judges for this round shall be yours truly, Francis "Fermat's Last Theorem" Gayon (Sound Test Curator), Tom "Green Nu" Goldman (News and Media), and Victor "Kiro" Balbian (Content Assistant).

Theme (10%) - This score represents how well the submission adheres to the theme of the particular round. Unlike in the previous competition's rules, a grade of 0 is not possible for this criterion, as a submission which fails to adhere to a particular round's theme in its entirety will not even be eligible for judging and shall be treated like a regular submission to Sound Test. There can be some gray area, as most rounds' themes shall be comprised of multiple conditions; thus, remixers are warned to be very specific and exact with their remixes.

Remix (35%) - The category encompasses how well the remix represents the original work(s). The piece should be strong enough that someone familiar with the original work recognizes the source material, but that it also strong enough to stand alone from the original.

Creativity (45%) - This category is a critique of the artist's compositional decisions in the songs creation. What has been added to really breathe life into the remix? Does the piece flow solidly from section to section, and stay fresh without becoming repetitive? Is listening to this song enjoyable?

Production (10%) - This category encompasses the technical qualities of the sound, including the quality of samples used, of any recording done, and of mixing and panning.
