PRESS RELEASE

Wednesday 19th December/... Bellevue, WA.— ArenaNet® has announced that music from its Guild Wars® franchise of games will be performed as part of “PLAY! A Video Game Symphony.” This world-wide symphonic tour features music from a number of top videogames, including songs from Guild Wars. The tour kicks off in Fort Worth, Texas, on January 19, 2008.

The “PLAY! A Video Game Symphony” program will be performed by world-class orchestras and choirs in some of the most prestigious venues, including the Bass Performance Hall in Fort Worth and the Benaroya Hall in Seattle, Washington. Game images projected on large screens above the orchestra accompany the scores, highlighting memorable moments from the video games and enhancing the entire experience.

Guild Wars has been praised for its rich soundtracks created by renowned video-game music composer Jeremy Soule and co-composer Julian Soule. The Soule brothers have created music for the entire Guild Wars franchise including the original Guild Wars, as well as the Factions™ and Nightfall™ campaigns. The music of Guild Wars is also featured on CD in special edition retail packages for each campaign.

“We always felt the work Jeremy and Julian did on the Guild Wars soundtrack was one of the best features of the game,” said Jeff Strain, co-founder of ArenaNet. “We’re incredibly happy their music has been included in the PLAY! Tour, so that even more people can enjoy the music that millions of Guild Wars players have grown to love.”

“Guild Wars brings a worldwide audience to our world tour, which is an exciting prospect for us,” said Jason Michael Paul, producer and creator of the PLAY! tour. “Guild Wars certainly has one of the most compelling and exciting music scores, which will be a great addition to our concert program.”

The Guild Wars franchise has sold more than 4.5 million units since the release of the original Guild Wars campaign, in 2005, making it one of the most popular online role-playing games of all time.
