Throne and Liberty is a paradise for min-maxers and competitive players. As this continues to affect casual players, a sad example from the early access phase illustrates this.
What happened to the player? A buyer of the early access version of Throne and Liberty reports in a Steam review (via Reddit) that he was kicked out of his guild because he could not play on the second day of early access and had to go to work.
Single case? EmzysErock writes under the post (via Reddit): “I was also kicked out. I experienced a tornado, and then a chlorine factory near me caught fire, and we had to leave the city.”
It is also evident elsewhere that Throne and Liberty attracts numerous competitive players who want to get the most out of the MMORPG. Individual players expressed their displeasure as early as the second day of early access because someone in the dungeon group did not know the boss mechanics, or they left the instance immediately.
The demands of some guilds could hardly be higher, with reports of a minimum online time of six to seven hours (via Reddit).
Our talk with MeinMMO and GameStar about Throne and Liberty:
Paradise for Min-Maxers
How does Throne and Liberty promote this behavior? Although Throne and Liberty has become more attractive to casual gamers and solo players due to updates from the Korean version, the focus is still on guild activities and PvP – with some content being available only to the most ambitious and active guilds.
In addition, guild sizes are heavily limited. Initially, 70 people can fit into such a community. But when those are found, and other exciting newcomers are knocking at the gate, some guilds begin to filter out; those who do not keep up or invest too little are kicked out.
However, some comments under the post also show that not every player is keen on min-maxing. Sinister_Saiyans writes on Reddit: “You need to join our guild. Filthy Casuals. A group of people aged 30+, most of them married with children.”
On my server Geist, there is also a colorful mixture of ambitious streamer guilds and communities that want to take it much easier. So make sure to find players who fit with you.
