On November 21, 2024, the servers of Throne and Liberty will be offline for almost seven hours to implement the new features of Update 1.8.0 into the worlds of the MMORPG. MeinMMO has the official German patch notes for you.
Update on November 22, 2024 – 07:56 AM: A few hours ago, there was finally news from the developers (via X) that they were able to find and fix the bug regarding the 2-star dungeons. There will be no maintenance for the implementation of the hotfix. However, all affected players must close the client once, install the update, and then reopen the game.
Update on November 21, 2024 – 14:06 PM: The developers addressed the community via X since the new 2-star dungeons were causing issues on consoles. The message states:
“We are currently investigating why 2-star dungeons are not available for console players. We will share more information as our investigation progresses.”
Update on November 21, 2024 – 13:18 PM: The maintenance is over. Anyone who has downloaded the 11.38 GB patch can log back into the servers. We wish you a lot of fun in Solisium!
Until when are the servers offline? According to playthroneandliberty.com the servers of Throne and Liberty have been offline since 7:30 AM our time and the maintenance is expected to last 6.5 hours. Thus, the MMORPG should be accessible again from 2:00 PM. However, the maintenance periods have recently often lasted significantly shorter than announced.
During the maintenance, the developers are implementing Update 1.8.0 of Throne and Liberty across all platforms. If you want to check the status of the Throne and Liberty servers yourself, you can easily do so. Current reports on server status can be found either on the official X channel of Throne and Liberty or in the server status section of the official Discord channel.
Moreover, there is an overview of the current server status on the official website of the MMORPG, similar to Lost Ark. You can find this overview at playthroneandliberty.com. Below you will find the official patch notes for 1.8.0.
