StrangeSelcouth nz.9256 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Hello fellow members!I was wondering if there would be a possibility for ArenaNet to release an LP for the soundtrack of Guild Wars 2 (Core) or even a Guild Wars 1 Special Release.I assume that most of the player base of Guild Wars love the soundtracks of this wonderful game, and it would be a great pleasure to have the opportunity to buy LP/Vinyls of the game. I am aware there is HoT and PoF release, but i really really really would love a Guild Wars 1 [Prophecies/Factions/Nightfall/GW:EN] LP/Vinyl release <3 or at least Guild Wars 2 (core map) soundtrack, with maybe bonus tracks from Guild Wars 1 ?Thank you for the great work, and really looking forward for future of this game that we all hold dear !

Tyncale.1629 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I am sure they will love to free up some funds and time to make this happen for the 3 people that want this. Seriously, some of these requests... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Since much of the music is owned by Jeremy Soule, and he is not amenable to releasing his Guild Wars music anymore, I'd say there is not much of a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leablo.2651 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 You can order custom vinyls from a number of specialty shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Kitsunee.4620 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 They have vinyls of the expacs.https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/the-guild-wars-2-path-of-fire-original-soundtrack-is-now-available/https://www.iam8bit.com/products/guild-wars-2-heart-of-thorns-vinyl-soundtrack-2xlphttps://www.iam8bit.com/products/guild-wars-2-path-of-fire-vinyl-soundtrack-2xlpDon't think the core OST or GW1 OST is on vinyl though.

Seriously, some of these requests... Vinyl sales have been growing year on year. They are increasing popular with collectors not just for normal music, but especially for games music. I’d have no doubt vinyls would sell if they made them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyKitty.6120 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Looking at how the soundtrack was published by Soule himself and sold in his webstore, it can be assumed that Anet was licensed the core tracks but Soule owns the tracks. He's not selling the soundtracks anymore for Guild Wars nor he's published them in any streaming services so consumers only have the OSTs available second-hand on CDs (for a hefty price). That's just Kitty's assumption based on basic knowledge of music industry, though. If that's correct, the original tracks won't be available again outside the game.E: As response to next message: That shant be talked about. :# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the the target audience is extended to individuals who fancy cinematic/game music. So i think there is a great potential for successful sales. @LadyKitty.6120 said:Looking at how the soundtrack was published by Soule himself and sold in his webstore, it can be assumed that Anet was licensed the core tracks but Soule owns the tracks.

As even on his official pages/spotify etc. there aren't any GuildWars 1 uploads, which is a huge pity, as a guild wars player, and especially for a music lover. They are really valuable pieces of art, irrelevant if they are from the Guild Wars franchise or not.. Would be nice if the Guild Wars team would maybe contact Mr Soule... maybe they release a limited amount of Vinyls... would definitely be the first one to pre-order... Thank you for you replies!

Lots of them limited editions but it certainly looks like there is a collectors market for them. I assume the pricing will be accordingly but that never stopped fans and collectors. :) So I stand corrected! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
