Guild Wars 2

Let me start out by saying that i have always found Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2 to be fantastic games that i have greatly enjoyed playing. I have also found the music to be extremely good.

I have recently tried to purchase the digital version of the Guild Wars Prophecies soundtrack on directsong, and have not received any link or other ability to download it. The support for on the Guild Wars 2 website says to contact directsong for any support issues but directsong has not had the best record it seems after a quick internet search.

I do not know if ArenaNet can help me in this directsong support matter or not but i would like to suggest that ArenaNet/directsong provide a reliable place to buy and download their fantastic music. The suggested places could be iTunes, Amazon, cdbaby or any other reliable digital distribution platforms.

I would prefer to leave other games out of this but albums from different games on directsong have appeared on iTunes and would like that to happen the Guild Wars games. Including Guild Wars Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall, Eye of the North and Guild Wars 2 and any other future installment of the franchise.

I don’t think ArenaNet has any sway over what DirectSong does or doesn’t do with their (Jeremy Soule’s) music. If you have sent money to purchase the OST, and been disappointed, you might consider joining the class action suit against DirectSong. Probably won’t get your music, but you might get your money back.

Music since JS left (and future) music has nothing to do with DirectSong (or Jeremy Soule). You can find some of it on SoundCloud.

Good luck.

I really think ANet needs to remove all links on their site to the DirectSong fiasco, unless they have a legal obligation to keep them. Of course Soule should still be fully credited as the composer, but ANet should in no way facilitate more players getting ripped off.

Jeremy Soule makes incredible music, but DirectSong is an absolute horrible company to deal with. Their support is scarce, and ETA’s for shipments are non-existent.

Hopefully when Heart of Thorns comes out or other future content the soundtracks are sold through a more reliable distribution service. The music that has been created so far is fantastic its just the distribution platform is extremely unreliable.

Has Jeremy Soule left DirectSong? I always thought the company was owned by him.

I believe there is a class action lawsuit in the works vs DirectSong for not meeting contractual obligations of delivery of good or services. IE…lots of people paid for the music but never received anything for their money.

On a side note about the music – which I, too, love – check out “BrunuhVille” on YouTube. If you like your fantasy music, you’ll love him.
