The new MMORPG Throne and Liberty has allowed players to test the game in an open beta for almost a week. The conclusion is mixed.
What stands out about Throne and Liberty? Readers on MeinMMO also see critical aspects of the beta, while the game is received very positively on Reddit:
- The articles about the game are hotly debated on MeinMMO. The articles receive many comments.
- In the comments on the website, the game is criticized quite a bit, more than on Reddit and other sites.
- The servers are once again a topic, first because they didn’t work at launch, then because there will be different ones for pre-order players and free players.
Here you can watch the trailer for Throne and Liberty:
“The graphics are extremely impressive”
This is what our readers say:
Lucas comments: “Graphics really strong. Performance for a beta really good. There were few peaks where the FPS briefly dropped, but absolutely bearable. The UI is really a disaster in some places xD. But I am confident that T&L will have a good future. Especially after AGS made some adjustments to the real money shop in the western regions. […]”
Naix writes: “[…] It’s definitely the most beautiful MMO I’ve played so far, combined with 4K OLED+HDR just delicious. Fighting also goes very smoothly. And it is also good, hefty. It’s really fun, I didn’t even want to test it, as the healer ‘class’ seems so loveless and poorly thought out, but maybe I’ll be proven wrong. What I don’t like, 10,000 menus again and everything is blinking everywhere.[…]”
ASJW says: “I find it really cool so far. 😁 The graphics are extremely impressive. I like the combat system, it feels solid. I also think the skill system is great. That you don’t skill the character but the weapon and can switch at any time… What more could you want […]!”
“And again the server problem that already killed New World.”
Are there any opposing voices? Yes, of course:
Sergio writes: “So graphics, orchestration, and animation 9/10, but the rest more like 4/10. Quests boring as always in MMOs, no one reads the texts anyway. At first, I wanted to turn off the game at the flying tutorial teddy bear […] but then I continued playing. At level 17, I joined an open world event, where suddenly PVP was activated. Then I got killed three times in a row by other PVP players (as is usual in MMOs). […]”
Mett comments: “So the controller controls on the PS5 are really horrible. Everything feels so clumsy and stiff. Even when you target an enemy with R3 who is right in front of you, it targets some enemy in the background. So it feels very outdated with the controls. FF14 and ESO have done it better already.”
Todesklinge says: “I am disappointed with the game. The tab/auto-targeting is such an outdated game mechanic and makes the game so boring, as you just spam your rotation and that’s it. Dodging and blocking are dull. […]”

What’s going on with the servers? Throne and Liberty will allow pre-order players to play earlier. There will be different servers for pre-order players than for players who only join the game for its free launch.
The auction houses of the servers will also not be connected. Switching from a “pre-order” server to a “free” server will not be possible from the start. However, that should come later.
Free players should be able to switch to the pre-order servers from the start.
