Guild Wars Eye of the North OST

[@YRYLMUSIC]

I was a child. My father lent me his internet connection for a few hours, a few magical hours where I went to Jade's quarry with my assassin to play 1v1... far from understanding that it was a team game XD 😅Then as a teenager, I finally understood that GW was a team game ! 😇Hm, Doa, UW, Koss, Kanaxai, Urgoz, Norns ! What unforgettable memories. And friendships that are still strong today. It wasn't just a game, it was a magical time. Today I feel really lucky to have experienced this adventure which goes further than the virtual ! 😇 R12 Zaishen forever in my Heart 😇

[@allmight1109]

This game, this community. It was a never ending dream for me once time i had just 13-14 years old and I feel just love for the game and the people. I hope they will make a remake and we can see us all again and feel the same moments and friendships.

[@mjaxdes]

yes, ive been playing soul mask, bellright,eso, but energy just isn't there...

[@DurinThe_Deathless]

Guild Wars 2 is massive, almost too massive

[@RobinBrohee]

GW2 is massive, but my god too limited for me. It was amazing to steal special skills to the ennemy and create his own build. In Guild Wars 2, I get the impression that any warrior is just a “warrior” with almost all the same skills. In GW1, I had the impression that my character was unique.

[@REALdavidmiscarriage]

hop back on people are still playing.

[@j8ded]

this nostalgia trip. i want to go back to the first time i played this game.

[@dingusmagee7207]

***** dis comment made me sad :(

[@kommanderkylelp]

***** you still can! :)

[@shakovskanton3540]

i wish there was a movement, players going back to gw1 and just playing through the game together again. it really is a beautiful game and the atmosphere is great. =plot spoilers, although doubt anyone who would play this again hasnt already played the game= think of the first game, prophecies. 1. a city is destroyed by the charr 2.they seek refuge across the frozen shiverpeaks. that trek across the shiverpeaks is so nice, i will never forget. and the silly missions with the dwarves and ruriks death. 3. then they find haven in kryta, a coastal city and they find some trouble is going down and undead are rising. 4.eventually the hero is made to appear to be the villain and forced into exile at a faraway desert. 5. there, they overcome trials of ghostly champions to regain their honor, earn their right as the hero, and return to defeat the true villain.

Just open the game and listen to it. It's a shame we can't go back to see the Factions or Nightfall Login-Screen while listening to the themes.

[@DankChi66]

+Cammy I miss the good old times too. GW was my first mmorpg and one of the greatest experiences in my life :')

[@BoredAndBrowsing]

if they ever make a gw3, i hope its more like gw1, i personally enjoyed gw1 more than i did gw2. a remastered gw1 would be cool too.

[@friscofunksta7528]

Due to the popularity (and I recently saw an article that the servers wont close any time soon due to its popularity) I actually really believe that they will make a remake. Just like GTA San Andreas due to its popularity even tho the remake sucked lol

[@PasiDays]

If they do a remake of GW1 that would be very bad, not because of the game but because of me becoming fully addicted again hahaha

[@RaskyUlv]

Yeeees!!!!

[@alanm6o9]

They are gunna make gw3

[@720grad3]

I get a little bit emotional....the good times I had with my Guild Wars mates. They made me happy, I made them happy. We were on a continous journey together. Having played the whole game many times, but its the people you went it all through. I am glad to have been a part of a your lifes Robert, Daniel, Vicky, Robi, that guy from Suisse, and everyone I met and loved just spending time with bonding. That´s my GW1 will always be in my heart as one of the happiest times in my life.

[@a00047]

I just started replaying the original guild wars and the nostalgia hit me like a wall.

[@andrewchmielowiec3231]

my guild has long disbanded; i've given up on trying to recreate the good old days of speed runs, solo farms, and team arenas by reinstalling; i have unfinished titles... but the soundtrack remains. it's now, a full decade after i left the game that i realize how impactful it was on me, and I have jeremy soule to think for keeping a little sliver of it alive. this music is so important.

[@qap7]

I feel you 100%. Times will never be the same, but what remains is the memory and the music that* revives the memories every now and then. I will never forget waking up early on weekends to play this game with my friends, not all of us* even had a PC for our own back then. Its been so long.. Hardly anything is as magical nowadays.

[@Arclite96]

Doc', I need to take your dolorean to get back to april, 28 2005 !

[@darkranger116]

the oveture of eye of the north completely encapsulates the nostalgia i have for playing nightfall growing up, i could never afford anything, so i just sat in character creation for hours listening to it over and over, making every type of character in the creator, imaging what it would be like to play a bear

[@LouisS71]

Every damn time I listen to this masterpiece the nostalgia hit me. Can spend an hour being lost in my mind. Huge part of my life, incredible game, so glad I played it

[@JonNeimeister]

It's amazing how classical some of this sounds. So lovely!

[@felixwunder9523]

It sounds classical because it is actually classic

[@Fuerwahrhalunke]

And played with an orchestra in an opra

[@jaywhite9028]

This music had me in a trance when I played EOTN. It never was very much fun after a month of playing. It's the music that kept drawing me back. It didn't happen in GW2.

[@SkylerMaki]

12:14 My favorite Guild Wars song

[@liaskaymar8566]

Jeremy you legend... Thank you for such a beautiful childhood

[@Clonest]

even though Guild Wars 2 will never capture some people's nostalgia quite like the first game did, can at least thank Arena Net for keeping most of this gamea amazing music tracks an re-using them again for world exploration! :D

[@luishsteuer1660]

2:56 is for what you came here …

[@RYLYZA]

True ! 😇

[@jimmyh2019]

A few years ago, one summer, I started from scratch and replayed Prophecies through Eye of the North. Best solo gaming experience I have had to date.

[@ItsSt4xR]

Guild wars 1 and Skyrim have the best in game music that i have ever heard in any game out there. The epicness in these Songs are incompetable

[@somethingsomething2517]

+Its St4xR (St4xR) Try some shadow of the colossus tunes, as well as Ne no kuni. Both have simply fantastic soundtracks.

[@decius596]

+Its St4xR (St4xR) Jeremy Soule is one of the best.... Oblivion had great tracks too.

[@ColbyCadwell]

I agree 100%

[@alanm6o9]

Ima have to hard agree with you on that boss. God bless

[@lordrobinus]

Overture from Eye of the North, the best intro music in Guild Wars history in my opinion, even beating GW2's soundtrack. Overture from EotN has it all, nostalgia from the first series of games, and the refreshing gaze upon the future in GW2..

[@ricardo8332]

GW2 Norn's theme is derived from this one and is also better than most GW2 soundtracks

[@Dionysus_333]

Agreed!

[@jessforfunshow]

1:07:07 in GW2 means you are dead lol. Didn't realize that is a GW song as well.

[@iaiband]

it means your character in GW1 died =(

A lot of this music is reused in GW2. For example, "Kathandrax" is the boss music for the Mai Trin and Snowblind fractal dungeons.

just came by to get the link for a LoL streamer-communety. They asked about a GW track playing and where it is from. Cam to grab the link, stayed because of the music :) Its weird to hear this after 2 years of not playing =( So manny good memories are bonded with this game and tho i was excited about Gw2, it could not quite get me this awesome feeling, Gw 1 did. It was beautifull and challenging on the same time. I will never forget you Gw 1, never ;)

[@josephhubbard4332]

My thoughts to a tee, I actually sort of regret them making GW2 as it isolated GW1 (although I am fairly sure GW1 still has a bigger player base)

[@qnxx1609]

joe hubbard Guild Wars 1 probably doesn't even have a tenth of the player base that Guild Wars 2 has anymore, sadly.

[@YesNoMaybeSometimes]

Oh god, the Overture at 2:55! MAGNIFICENT! My favorite for sure.

[@wowomah6194]

What if I said...that Arena Net put WAY more into Guild Wars 1 than Guild Wars 2 per release? I mean, ok sure, Guild Wars 2 has lots of content throughout each month even, but this expansion for example felt like an entire game on its own! And man...you can really tell the Soule really digested the compositions and techniques of the greats. After getting more into classical music...I can hear all the best and most interesting parts of Holsts, Vaughn Williams and other such composers. Soule is one of the greatest of his generation. Soule's music takes perhaps a beautiful, intriguing or exciting world and makes it from just a dream into an immersive reality. The music helps tell the story that the game devs don't necessarily describe in full detail. That is, a song like Doomlore Flame gives A LOT of backstory on the emotion and gloom of the Ebon Vanguards foray into the Charr lands which, despite the Flame Legion's tyranny, is exquisitely beautiful. I always got the impression in that region of Tyria that is was almost like you'd imagine North Korea: a land locked in time and you're one of the first to see it freed. I don't know that Soule knew the whole lore of Guild Wars 1 or anything, but his music certainly evoked the surroundings perfectly EVERY TIME. A region's music, in my opinion, should evoke the history and the environment itself if possible...that is...the music should give the rocks emotion and the streams around them expression...the music is PART of the environment not just this supernatural source of sounds that is detached from the forests and mountains you climb through. Another key example is the song Horns of Gunnars Hold. I still remember, being about in 8th or 9th grade or so and my player character was sitting at the Xunlai chest on the hill in Gunnars Hold. It was a pretty nice location to sit and plan builds and so on. Whenever I hear those horns at the very beginning of the song, it always takes me immediately back to those moments. But the crazy thing? In my brain I almost feel like it was ME there looking out on the sun in the horizon. That's how immersive Soule's music is. So, cheers to Jeremy Soule.
