Throne and Liberty is all set to be released globally on October 1, 2024, following an early access version. NCSoft and Amazon Games have been working together on this project to provide players with a traditional MMO experience alongside trademark features from both companies. While being a PvP-focused game from the start, it seems the title has had several additions to its PvE side as well.
Due to this, Throne and Liberty have attracted players who love both sides of the coin, leading many to wonder if NCSoft's new MMO title is fit for solo players or not. The answer to that question is: Yes. Throne and Liberty can be played solo, as many activities allow solo players to thrive. However, one's experience will be enhanced if they join a guild in a game like this.
Throne and Liberty encourages solo play with several PvE activities
Before going into the details of solo play, it should be noted that Throne and Liberty falls under the MMO genre of video games, meaning that one will encounter other players while exploring the open world or during boss fights. There is also an auction system for items trading, which forces a player to list an item for another. In that regard, solo play is unavoidable.
Here is a list of a few activities that can be played completely solo, and do not require a group in any way:
- Daily quests/Contracts
- Instance Dungeons
- Open-world Dungeons (daytime). Becomes PvP at night (group recommended).
- Taedal's Tower Dungeon
There are Dungeon challenges with difficulty tiers that can be run on a lower difficulty as well. Doing so will allow a player to match with others, but no communication is required in that regard.
Everything you will miss as a solo player in Throne and Liberty
Now, let us go over everything you will miss if you choose to go in solo and do not join a guild during your playtime. To start, large-scale Guild PvP battles, Guild bosses, and PvP Archbosses will become inaccessible if you do not join a Guild. These activities usually drop a rare gear piece that can be bought from the Auction House but comes with an expensive price tag.
You can also miss out on large-scale siege battles by not joining a Guild. Winners of these siege battles get a tax distributed across all members of the Guild. The tax is the amount of money collected for two weeks before the battle commences.
