Where to get MMO soundtracks

Yesterday on Too Long; Didn’t Listen (you know, that podcast you so adore!) Dodge and I were talking about MMO and video game soundtracks, a topic which I quite adore. I wanted to follow the podcast up with a quick post about some places that I’ve found legal ways to obtain these scores:

Free MMO soundtracks:

EVE Online: Good on CCP for making a bulk of EVE’s synth score available for free mp3 downloads!
Star Wars: The Old Republic: About half of the game’s original score is available for a free download on the game’s site. The studio did this right before the game launched.
Anarchy Online vol 2: WARNING – this starts a download from Funcom’s FTP server!
Anarchy Online: Shadowlands
Atlantica Online: A sampling of the game’s music
Dungeons and Dragons Online: A HUGE amount of music from the game, including a 5th anniversary piece
Global Agenda: Only seven tracks are available, but hey, that’s seven more than you had previously, right? And the Christmas piece rocks.
Wizard101: They’re short ringtone versions, but still very much worth downloading
Chronicles of Spellborn: Right side of the page

Amazon MP3 downloads:

Age of Conan ($9): One of the most acclaimed MMO soundtracks ever
Pirates of the Burning Sea Volume 1 and Volume 2: Great piratey music for $9 and $10 respectively
Aion ($9)
City of Heroes: Going Rogue ($9)
EverQuest ($8) Note that this is a fan project, not the original, but it’s not that shabby
Fallen Earth ($9) Love this soundtrack, it really is something different than the norm
Lineage – Legacy Vol. 2 ($9)
Lineage 2: Chaotic Chronicle ($10.50)
Lineage 2: Interlude ($9)
Lineage 2: Goddess of Destruction ($9)
Lineage 2: Chaotic Throne ($9)

Direct Song:

Blizzard Store/iTunes/misc.:

Let me know if I missed any and I’ll add them to the list (I’m not looking to list/link torrents and CDs, however)!

The EVE soundtrack is still one of my favorites. All of Blizzard’s games have amazing scores as well.

I need to pick up all the Lineage 2 OSTs though, thank you for those links!

Sadly, WAR’s music is not on the new website… but you can find all the mp3′s here: http://j.mp/waraudio

Fallen Earth is also available at indie outlet CDBaby, albeit for a few dollars more: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/fallenearth

Turbine made a lot of the soundtrack for LotRO freely available as a test for their in-house downloader back in 2008. You can still get it here: http://www.fileplanet.com/199894/190000/fileinfo/The-Lord-of-the-Rings-Online-Soundtrack

Wow. I hadn’t really noticed the Age of Conan soundtrack in the short time I was playing it, but that’s really awesome. No idea what those metal tracks are doing in the middle of it, but the rest of it’s great.

I’m a big collector. not an MMO – but I still listen to the Skyrim OST by Jeremy Soule at the moment, an absolute gem! I am so happy he is on board for GW2! =)

I want the Vanguard soundtrack. That’s my favorite.

I downloaded the AoC soundtrack, and the one for RotG as well. They are amazing, and would be even if not attached to a game I enjoyed. I was disappointed in SWTORs music mostly because I had to compare it to AoC.

A good chunk of the Vanguard soundtrack used to be on the official site, but I can’t find it now. A little searching will turn it up, though.

Forgot one… Game Theme songs: http://www.gamethemesongs.com

Speaking of Vanguard: Saga of Heroes… they’re going F2P. Announced 3/21/2012. Here is the FAQ about the announcement: http://forums.station.sony.com/vg/posts/list.m?topic_id=56875
