A good solid custom tileset brings FAR more than a few midi files thrown in. Do you really leave the midis on? Who else? Lets say you had a dozen really good music files. For an mmorpg where you'll spend a lot of your time sitting around and chatting, unless the music is mostly ambience it's going to become annoying. Fast. Consider Graal Kingdoms. They brought in the music from Bjorn Lynn, and it's some really nice stuff. I had it on for a while, but it does get old. I would much rather turn the music off and have winamp running a list of a few thousand songs rather than sit there with the same one playing over and over.
edit: Okay, so I suppose "NOTHING!" is a bit drastic. If it has some nice music it is nice to have it on for the first few times, it can nicely set the mood for the game. Just keep in mind that it won't stay forever.

Well yea I think its better to work with sound effects (ambience) instead like wind in the trees (or w/e you say... you know what I mean >=O), rivers, birds and stuffs like that or well it depends on the scene & mood that you want to create but yea...
