In just a few days, Throne and Liberty will enter its beta phase. Then, players in this country will also be able to try out Amazon’s MMORPG. The developers have now revealed details about the beta.
What is Throne and Liberty? The MMORPG from the South Korean developer NCSoft has a long history behind it. After it was nearly completed in 2017 under the name Lineage Eternal, it underwent a complete overhaul and was renamed Throne and Liberty.
In South Korea, players were able to start as early as December 2023. The MMORPG is expected to be released in the West in 2024 for Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
To test the game and gather feedback from players, a closed beta will take place from April 10 to April 17, 2024.
Just recently, a new trailer announced the beta:
The developers reveal details about the beta
Who can play the beta? Interested players could register for the test period until April 2. The beta will last for seven days and will be available in Europe, North America, South America, and Asia-Pacific.
Those who gain access are not allowed to voice their opinions publicly. The beta is under NDA, meaning you are not allowed to discuss what you have seen. Streams or similar activities are therefore not to be expected.
What is included in the beta? The developers have revealed in a blog post on the game’s website what participants can expect in the beta. Primarily, the leveling system and the players’ progression in the ongoing game will be tested.
The developers aim to give beta participants a good sense of the game world Solisium. Players should be able to explore freely, and there will not be a leveling cap. Players are supposed to try out all the content of the game.
This means that besides the early and mid-game, the endgame will also be playable.
What is the developers’ goal? The beta is primarily intended to gather feedback from players. The focus is on the combat system and world events.
To test the latter, the developers have created a schedule for prime-time events in each region of the game. There will likely already be some of the announced siege battles.
Additionally, NCSoft wants to learn players’ opinions about the economic system of Throne and Liberty. This refers to both the in-game economy and the marketplace. There, you can shop with the real money currency Lucent. Beta testers will receive a certain amount of it.
Basically, the game can be played for free. Nevertheless, there are accusations that Throne and Liberty is pay-to-win.
After the beta ends, the developers will compile the feedback from players and continue working on the game. However, there is currently no concrete release date for outside of South Korea. The MMORPG is expected to be released here without significant differences from the Korean version.
