The first time I saw the original trailer for Guild Wars 2, I knew I had to play the game, but I also knew that I had to get the soundtrack as well. One of the best things about the original GW2 is its soundtrack and Jeremy Soule overdid himself, once again.
It wasn’t easy getting my hands on the soundtrack though. Back then, all the music composed by Jeremy Soule was sold by DirectSong, which had some uhm issues :D
It took them about 1 year to ship me the soundtrack, but before that I even managed to email Jeremy Soule himself, “complaining” about not getting the soundtrack I ordered. I didn’t expect a reply at all, but he actually did reply. He basically just said that DirectSong had issues with producing the soundtracks, but I just had to be patient. Turns out he was right. I just had to be patient 😅
I remember there being accusations of DirectSong being scammers, with people not realizing that Jeremy Soule himself founded Directsong 😂
My favorite was always Fear Not This Night. Unique, I know
Pretty cool you were able to eventually get it. I remember a coworker of mine got the collector’s edition solely for the Rytlock statue, but kindly let me have the art pieces / frame. I did borrow the soundtrack to listen to, but gave that back.
