Throne & Liberty is that f2p game where you end spending more money than in a subscription based model mmo but i can also be completely f2p if you sink many hours and you're born with a lucky perk.

Why do you need luck? Because getting a specific drop multiple times is a requirement and to give you a good example i completed a dungeon 50 times without getting the drop i needed.

But let start with simplier things like graphics,..if you have a decent computer few mmos can provide this level of quality,i was impressed with the open world and no loading times between fast travels. Speaking of visuals if you like taking screenshots this game can provide a lot of opportunities in the game world or cutscenes.

The questing and leveling process from 1 to 50 is just great, the main quest is decent and for this genre the codex and sidequests hidden in exploration are worth to do. Of course beside the quality content you can find the standard grind kill x and gather y ..

I remember playing a lot of similar mmo in the past ,with time i'm surprised how good this f2p games have become..only if i had this game 10 years ago. Every time i think of Thrones i remember bits of my past experience with Silkroad Online where the grind was also insane,to be fair i can't put them at the same level. I remember i couldn't reach the max level in that game ,thats how slow it was.

The world is pretty large and the world design is well done,with quest hubs and monster zones. Each zone has events and mini bosses with larger events starting at a specific time interval.

During the day the peace reigns and the events are safe but once the night comes the PVP starts and for a solo player there is little you can do but watch how the best guilds and groups from the server control zones and areas where boss spawns or events take place. Nothing can stop your own guild to challenge them but here is where the fun ends because the pay to win aspect of the game becomes the difference between success and failure. But things will get better ...or worse ,only time will tell! The pvp is not mandatory and you can avoid the conflict zones but you'll be missing a lot so i recommend joining a pvp guild and try it before focusing only on pve. The Arena is also a great place where you can hone your skills and earn rewards.

I'm still learning about the game and i'm confused about many things but from my experience i recommend playing this for the main questline and the great
graphics. The combat is also smooth and with a few tweaks in the menu you can improve the targeting system a lot.
I like the morph system ,it helps travelling and exploring a lot both by sea or air ,however i need mounts on land ,i miss riding a horse or something!

In terms of content and endgame there is enough to keep you busy until they release more .. personally i really like co-op dungeons world bosses and events unfortunately i don't feel like i do enough progress and i'm stuck trying to get a drop with no alternatives other than keep trying. Thats a grind and as a f2p player you should get used with this feeling.

THRONE AND LIBERTY offers a lot but it demands too, it really depends on what you expect from a game or what you're trying to achieve in it. Spending money is a shortcut on getting what others can't in a certain amount of time and to be honest i have nothing against that but i have problems with those who exploit the game with the use of bots.
If i count and draw a line there are more positives than inconveniences so i'll keep playing and see how this goes.


If i could rank this i would place below ESO or any other popular sub based mmo,but this being F2P friendly (or just trying) i think it deserves a good rating and a positive review on Steam.

In conclusion if you search for a new mmo and a time sink as a f2p or another way to spend your money being p2w .. you're in luck because here you can choose and do both.

EDIT: To make a user happy from the comments section..

Great game, I love MMORPGS! I am not an expert in videogames, but I really enjoy how awesome the teleportation looks, there aren't many loading screens and I can use two kinds of weapons and mix the abilities. Don't judge the comment, I work too much and I can't play videogames as I use to anymore :(

this game has a lot of potential but they do not do enough to control the strength of pay to win players and the guilds/alliances they form. guilds with players willing to pay for progression end up stronger than most guilds quickly. when they then form alliances through game provided means, they can overpower a server and gatekeep content from thousands of players. when new content releases and no one in the server can access it besides the pay to win players, it kills the game. the way alliances work in the game should be revised.
