Title says it all.

Personally, I think the Shiverpeaks have the best music

Pre-searing if you have the bonus tracks.
I actually bought the DirectSong bonus paks before I started playing. First time stepping outside the Ascalon gates and hearing the First Light track... That was just amazing.

I find the music in Guild Wars to be very boring. I normally just listen to something else through Itunes.

this is highly dependant on weather you got the directsong battle pack or the Ce packs, both tyria and cantha have improved inmessurabley after getting the directsong upgrades for each, before the music was okish, now its very good

The free Direct Song pack for SF and around Grenth's! Very atmospheric score, especially with the volume cranked a tad!

I like the original Guild Wars theme, and I also fancy the exploration music in Presearing.

I wish I could hear the bonus track "First Light" in the game. If it's in the game, I have no idea where it would be. But it's one of the best that Jeremy has done for Guild Wars in my opinion.

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

So true, I used to have the login music and the pre-searing music stuck in my head for weeks at a time when I first got the game. Whenever I start going through GW withdrawls I hear the music again! Must...play...

Alas I was out of town and missed out on the festivities. No Santa Hats or Antlers for Sciros ;_; And I guess no awesome music either.

The Pre Searing music.

But I usually have the music disabled and listen to something else.

I'm not sure if you didn't read my post or disregarded it as I was talking about pre-searing.

How do you get the upgraded directsong or whatever sound pack? I've been looking all over for it. (yes i tried google... got dead links and other such crap)

I can't even hear the music in GW. It's way too low compared to all the other sounds imo.

I quite like the desert music, it's nice and peaceful...

Yeah, that ranks as a defining gaming moment for me. GW was my first online RPG and that stirring theme combined with vast, beautiful areas I'd never seen the likes of before in a game was a memorable experience.

Pre-searing music in general, and the login-screen theme of the original game, are my favourites. The Cantha soundtrack bores me very quickly and I usually play something else instead of listening to it.

Oh God, yes. I will often just sit at the character select screen and stare into space while I listen to the music, regardless of how badly I want to play. :p

Yep, I'm definately a bigger fan of the "Prophecies" stuff, and have the Directsong soundpack too (the first one for GW). My favourite tune would have to be Temple of Tolerance, hands down.

In fact, I'm suprised no ones picked it yet As Faowri so eloquently put it, it was one of those pure moments of gaming bliss... Running all the way to Kryta (Boralis Pass -- too long, Frost gate, much to much work :P ) ... Finally getting to the pure and white sanded beaches of Kryta, ... and Temple of Tolerance begins to play.

Other favourites would be yes, as mentioned, anything from Pre-Searing.
The theme at the Barradin Estate is particularily satisfying, and Gwen's theme is a staple.. Ahh presear, ... pure gaming bliss.

www.directsong.com ! (yes, its that easy).

You have to pay for all the sound packs but the free Sorrows Furnace one. I only bought the first one (original soundtrack and a few bonus tracks), but it was well worth it. Soundtrack quality increases immensely and the bonus tracks are awesome. My favourite bonus track has got to be Beyond the Ocean -- It's a great, epic sounding score Amazing for the vast world of Guildwars (especially in Prophecies).

Luxon areas are generally good, "Luxon Theme" and "Coastline" are pretty nice IMO. "Jade Sea" doesn't fit some places, however. Kurzick music fits the atmosphere, but the music is more ambient than anything else there.

Most of the Kaineng music is kind of off. I kind of liked it better when the only song played was "Kaineng City". (Unrelated - the "Kaineng City" track from the DirectSong OST is different than the one on the Factions preorder disk, is this the same for anyone else?)

Presearing with "First Light" is amazing.

If you have direct song, then Pre-sear, Dwc, and Divine Path are pretty good. for the "normal" music, I like the Shiverpeaks and Kryta themes, as well as the luxon ones.
