Where you hear it
ienterworlda.ogg is the bridge between the glue screens and the game, played as the loading bar appears. It is often the first in-game sound of a session, right before the music of your last location takes over. The name keeps the 'i' prefix of the original interface set. Each expansion changed the login art and music, but this transition sound has stayed. Players hear it on every login and every character swap.
TriggerPlays when you press Enter World on the character select screen and the loading screen begins.
