Guild Wars 2

Let me begin by saying that I LOVE the Guild Wars 1 soundtracks, and after many years of playing the game I have not turned it off or got bored of it. I don’t think I’ll be playing it much more, but I want it to stay GW1 music… Rather than evoking nostalgia, hearing GW1 music in GW2 kind of spoils the memories. And feels weird too. Initially in the low level areas of GW2 I kept hearing the tune that played on the battle isles, and now in the Orr region I’m hearing the Kurzick theme … Feels very out of place, simply not right.

I don’t want to dabble with custom playlists just yet, because I want to experience the original Guild Wars 2 music, which is great. And I realize there are many more pressing problems, but still I’d like to ask for the option to disable GW1 music. Please?

Agreed. If anything, I’d like an option to make it less common as well. If the GW1 music is more rare, I think it could invoke some nostalgia on the instances that it does play, since it is no longer a regular part of the game. But I’ve heard the Granite Citadel theme more in GW2 than GW1, and same goes for the Pre-Searing themes, which I loved. I think those songs are special due to their role in GW1. Hearing them while butchering pirates in Bloodtide Coast just seems off. Also, the Echovald theme in Orr? Really?

I love most of the old music as well, but this is a new game, let’s start fresh, right? =)

(until we get to Elona; feel free to bring back the combat tracks :P)
