✣CONFIRMED OR LIKELY CONFIRMED INFORMATION✣
❖ HISTORY OF THRONE & LIBERTY
Was originally a top-down Lineage sequel called Lineage Eternal
Lineage Eternal was first announced November 8, 2011
Eventually they shifted to a 3rd person game, and decided to change to a new IP
With the pivot from top down and a Lineage sequel this makes the development
for Throne and Liberty over 10 years
There is also another new project in development that shares the same IP/world
Map called Project E. See the Map section below.
Lineage Eternal had a CBT in 2016 surprising everyone that the game shifted in
design (it was some sort of MxM) far from what it was previously announced in
2011, which received a lot of negative feedback and they went back to the white
board after a few years they renamed it Project TL with the trailer that looked
very Lost Ark-ish, now the title changed to Throne & Liberty.
■ Source
❖ GAME ENGINE
Unreal Engine 4. It is possible they have upgraded to UE5 but I don’t have
confirmation of that.
■ Source
❖ SERVER CAPACITY
3000 to 5000 per server
■ Source
❖ RELEASE DATE
1st half of 2023
■ Source
❖ PLATFORMS
PC and Console with Mobile play via the NC Purple App streaming PC to Mobile
■ Source
❖ MONETIZATION
They have said they want to “minimize” the effect of the P2W systems and have
a small gap between those that pay and those that don’t. Essentially, some P2W
but not excessive. And we know that NCSOFT almost always has some form of
P2W in their games. I really think it is just a question of “How much P2W?”.
They also say they think the West has become more “open” to microtransactions.
■ Source
❖ CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS
Players can only be human
■ Source
There is not much known about the customization yet, we have seen a few
glimpses of it in videos
■ Source
There is an AI character creator that can make a character based on a picture
■ Source
❖ PLAYER TRANSFORMATIONS
Player transformations change your skill bars and give you ability for faster travel
on land, sea or air. Siege transformations are also possible.
Wolf Transformation
■ Source
Bird Transformation
■ Source
Shark Transformation
■ Source
Siege Golem Transformation
■ Source
Transformation options available (UI)

❖ THE 3 PILLARS OF THRONE AND LIBERTY
Source
ENVIRONMENT
■
■
There is a big focus on the 3D topography of Throne and Liberty and
traversal using transformations and grappling. And weather changing the
environment, player skills, etc.
See the Day/Night, Travel/Transportation, and Weather sections below for
the details.
LOCAL EVENTS
■
Events that trigger with the schedule viewable on the world map. Some
of these are PVP events and they have a leaderboard. They last
approximately 20 minutes and each event occurs every 3 hours.
Example given was the “wolf tails” event near the starter area.
● Source
● Every 3 hours
◆ Source
● Lasts 20 minutes
◆ Source
MEMORIALS
■
■
Server wide events that take place on each server. When a server
progresses to the next stage all players are on the same stage. World
content is experienced together instead of players being phased
Source
❖ UI
The UI is minimalist in nature.
The player name plate shows buffs below the bar, and debuffs above the bar
■ Source
Health and Mana are confirmed resources and are visible on the player
nameplate (7,005 health and 11,360 mana at level 56)
Stamina is also a confirmed resource, that seems to be used for transformations,
some skills(See Counterattack GS #2 skill), and grappling.
■ Source
The Console UI shows 4 spots on the bottom left for consumables, and 8 spots
on the bottom right for weapon skills
■ Source
Autoplay button? Auto skill use buttons? Auto run to objectives? Various
autoplay options have been seen that seem to suggest Autoplay functionality
might be present
■ Source
■ Source 2
■ Source 3
Autorun? Autorun to objectives option is seen in one of the translated
images(last image)
■ Source
Transformation Options bottom left of UI
■ Source
Compass instead of Minimap, also a day/night timer is seen to the left of the
compass
■ Source
6 Player Party Size
■ Source
Enemy Target Frames
■ Source
Boss Debuff Frame(A lot of debuffs)
■ Source
Target lock circle seen for grappling skills
■ Source
Target Circle seen under targeted mob
■ Source
Target Icon on Selected Target
■ Source
❖ RACES
All players play as humans but can transform into various land, sea, and siege
animals/monsters.
■ Source
See player transformations below for the various transformations we have seen
See UI section above for where the transformation options are seen on the UI
❖ CLASSES | WEAPON TYPES
Weapon choices give you your “class”. Similar to New World. As mentioned in
the PVE section the max skills I saw was 8 on a level 56 character(Also seen in
several other places, and in the skill select screen). With having two weapons
you can swap between the total would be 16 skills. The max level I saw was 66,
so the max is probably at least 70 or higher so we might have more skills at
higher levels.
■ Source
■ Skill Select Screen Source
You can level all the weapons on one character if you want, which makes alts not
necessary
Tanks confirmed
■ Source 1
■ Source 2
■ Source 3
Healers seem likely
■ Source 1
■ Source 2
Weapon Types seen so far, duel wielding and weapon swapping of two weapon
sets is confirmed:
■ LONGBOW
■ GREATSWORD
■ DUAL DAGGERS
■ WAND & TOME
■ STAFF
■ SWORD & SHIELD
■ LONGSWORD
■ CROSSBOWS
■ 1 HANDED CROSSBOW
● Source
■ HATCHET 1H and Dual Wielded
● Source
❖ WEAPON SKILLS
Skill Tiers/Rarities seem to be a possibility for the skills. Red seems to be Tier
1/Epic, Green and Blue Tiers are unknown
■ Source
English Tooltips Seen:

❖ COMBAT
TAB target seems to be the targeting style
■ Source 1
■ Source 2
■ See also further confirmation in the UI Section
Melee appears to cleave?
■ Source
Pull abilities seem to be featured in a lot of the skills
■ Source
Stealth has been seen
■ Source
Hybrid action/tab combat seems to be the style choice. Similar to Guild Wars 2
potentially. Tab is the targeting but with melee cleaving and a lot of movement
and presumably some dodge abilities it could have an action feel.
Skills are based on your weapon choices. The max # of active skills from the
gameplay videos we have seen is 8. You can equip two weapons and swap
weapons so that would make the max 16. However, it could be higher as the 8
skills were on a level 56 character and the highest level I saw was 66, so you
might get more at a higher level. You might also have 4 slots for consumables.
Several of the skills have an action “timing” component like the Greatsword
Counter Attack skill.
■ Source 1
■ Source 2
■ 8 skills: Source
❖ PVE
Past NCSoft games relied heavily on player driven content and PVP. In this
MMO they want to have PVE be a big focus while still having great PVP
elements.
■ Source
Dungeons are Open World with PVP (likely) turned on. Dungeons have multiple
layers and going directly to the bottom floor of a dungeon is possible using gliding
or grappling skills
■ Source
Raid Bosses are Open World and PVP is (likely) turned on.
■ Source
❖ STORY
They want to have a compelling story but they want it to be optional for those that
are not interested.
■ Source
There is little known about the current story, but they did release a “TL Story
Map” and “TL Play Novel” that give some story information
■ TL Story Map
● Source
■ TL Play Novel
● Source
❖ PVP
There is a lot that is still unconfirmed about PVP after the latest update. Before it
was assumed that PVP was always on but there was a Karma system called “Evil
Deeds” that would punish players for PKing other players. But in the recent
Director’s Preview we learned that most zones are now Safe Zones and that PVP
is not forced. In a recent skill tooltip translation for the Greatsword CounterAttack
skill, I learned that the Evil Deeds system IS still in place in PVP areas due to
tutorial text on the screen. (See Counterattack in the Weapon Skills section)
■ Evil Deeds:
● Evil deeds is the PK Karma System. Appears to still be used in
PVP Zones. All that has ever been said about this system is that it
is turned on during the day, and turned off at night. (Day is 4 hour,
Night is 1 hour..see the Day/Night Cycles section for more
information)
● Source
■ Director’s Preview PVP Update:
● Source
Occupation Wars/Guild Wars
■ A battle over open world objectives that guilds can own
■ Source
■ Rain can affect the area around the objectives
● Source
■ Objectives
● In TL’s fields there are objects which can only be maintained by
guilds only.
◆ These objects are called the Blessing Stone and the
Dimension Stone
➢ These two stones together are called the
Possession Stones
➢ The acquisition of the possession stones allows for
enhanced Guild Capabilities as well as
procurement of necessary raw materials
● Source
Siege Warfare:
■ A fight over “large” objectives such as Castles
■ Defensive side has the advantage, but as time goes on the player can
transform into a golem destroying the wall or jumping on top of the wall to
disturb the opponent’s camp. And a golem that carries people also
appears.
■ There is a secret attack route that can only be used when it is not raining.
■ Source
■ Siege Victory rewards 6.7 million sollant, and 122K Gold Lucent(right side
of screen)
■ Source
We do know that PVP is turned on in dungeons and open world raid bosses (See
the PVE section above.
We also know that PVP is enabled for certain “Regional Events” such as the Wolf
Tails events
■ Source
PVP appears to be also turned on on the “flying island” that is used for
transportation to unreachable areas called “Gigantrithe”. This object moves
along a set route like a subway line. See the “Travel/Transportation” section
below for details.
❖ TRAVEL | TRANSPORTATION
Fast travel appears to be limited. There seems to be an emphasis on players
using transformation skills to travel faster instead of mounts. Players can
transform into a wolf for faster land travel speed. A shark for faster aquatic
speed. And a bird for faster air travel/gliding. See below for details on the
various transformations that we have seen.
Grappling to reach higher areas has been seen in multiple gameplay trailers.
■ Source
There was one potential “teleportation” stone seen in the first gameplay trailer.
■ Source
There is a “flying island” that is called Gigantrithe that appears and allows players
to reach places that otherwise are not accessible. This island appears every few
hours and exists for 30 minutes.
■ Source 1
■ Source 2
❖ DAY | NIGHT CYCLES
Day lasts for 4 hours, Night lasts for 1 hour.
■ Source
Day | Night can affect player abilities
■ Example of day/night affecting player spells:
● “One player skill that changes with the environment is the dagger
skill, Ghost Step, with increases movement speed at night, and
Dagger Venom’s blood poison effect changes depending on
whether it is day or night”
◆ Ghost Step: Source
◆ Dagger Poison: Source
Day | Night can affect boss/monster strength and their drop tables
■ Source
Day | Night can affect what type of mobs spawn
■ Source
There is an eclipse spell that only certain player(s) will have that can change the
day to night
■ Source
Some players can use skills that affect the day/night cycles or the weather.
These skills have very long cooldowns, and are only available to players that are
leading various daily leaderboards.
■ Source
■ The weather or day/night change by the players lasts 10 minutes, and can
only be used twice daily by the player who ranks first in a specific ranking
on a daily basis
● Source
❖ WEATHER
The ratio of sunny and rainy weather is 4:1 and once the weather changes it is
maintained for 30 minutes.
■ 30 minutes of rain…2 hours of sun???
■ Source
RAIN
■
■
■
■
Rain can affect certain skills, monster abilities, drop tables, and spawn
tables.
Last 30 minutes
Sunny is a 4:1 ratio to rainy
Rain and other forms of weather can affect the environment by filling
areas and not allowing passage by the players. Example given was rain
filling up a sewer passage to the castle that players can use as an
alternate assault path when it is sunny. This means the few players that
■
have the ability to change the weather to rain could change it to rain for
30 minutes and block that passage.
● Source
Example given for a player spell that is affected by the rain is the lightning
spell will bounce to multiple targets in the rain, but only hits one target
when it is sunny
● Source
WIND
■
■
■
Wind can affect certain skills, monster abilities, drop tables, and spawn
tables
The developers stated that wind is difficult to express visually, whereas
rain and other weather is easier
Example of a player ability that is affected by the wind is projectiles
traveling further. There used to be more effects but they toned it down to
just projectile distance increasing
● Source
■
Gliding distance also increases when the wind is out of the right direction
with enough strength. This could be enough to allow players to glide over
castle walls.
● Source
■ There is a high level skill that only one person per server can have that
can change the wind direction.
● Source
Some players can use skills that affect the day/night cycles or the weather.
These skills have very long cooldowns, and are only available to players that are
leading various daily leaderboards.
■ Source
■ The weather or day/night change by the players lasts 10 minutes, and can
only be used twice daily by the player who ranks first in a specific ranking
on a daily basis

Focus of the presentation was Open Field Content in TL
Development team is nearly 200 people
Open world in TL is focused on seamless world and three-dimensional level
design
Channeling of servers, and instanced dungeons to prevent content
monopolization have left the open world empty. TL dungeons will be open world
and the world connects seamlessly between the dungeon and the world.
3D Topography was implemented to give a sense of life and vitality. Grappling
skills and transformation into various animals will allow players to traverse this
topography
The three pillars of the open world of TL:
■ Environment
■ Local Events
■ Memorials
■ Return to 3 Pillars Indent.
Environment:
■ Day and Night Cycles
● Day is 4 hours
● Night is 1 hour
■ Rain and Wind
■ Day, Night, Rain and Wind all effect the game in various ways
■ The ratio of sunny and rainy weather is 4:1 and once the weather
changes it is maintained for 30 minutes.
● 30 minutes of rain…2 hours of sun(?)
● Return to Weather Indent.
■ Wind effect was reduced from the initial plan. Rain and night are easy to
express visually, but wind is difficult. The current wind effect is to
increase long range projectiles distance and gliding distance
■ One player skill that changes with the environment is the dagger skill,
Ghost Step, with increases movement speed at night, and Venom’s blood
poison effect changes depending on whether it is day or night
■ Return to Day & Night Cycle Indent.
■ Lightning chain activated in sun will hit one target, in the rain multiple
targets
Link to image of Lightning Chain effect:https://imgur.com/Yw3Jgh1
■ When it rains, field objects occupied by guilds during occupation wars will
fill up with water in low areas making it impossible to fight in these areas.
Return to PVP Indent.
■
“Some terrains where Archboss appears have to be washed off with water
when debuffed, but when it rains, the water level in the fountain rises,
making it easier to wash.” - (Not sure exactly what this means)
Link to image of water rising during weather effect:
https://imgur.com/zjBMCHX
■
■
■
■
Some monsters change power, abilities, and drop tables depending on
the day/night or weather
Return to Day & Night Cycle Indent.
A handful of players will have the power to control the environment for 10
minutes.This skill can only be used twice per day, and can only be used
by a person who ranks first in a specific ranking on a daily basis (People
will know who he is)
Return to Weather Indent.
Link to image of player potentially controlling weather environment:
https://imgur.com/ZWOmol1
➢ Regional Events:
■ Events that change the content of a specific region for a short period of
time.
■ Return to 3 Pillars Indent.
■ Example: Wolf Hunting Tournament which is in the early leveling area.
● A Ranking system is in place for these events.
● Wolf tails in the player’s inventory are displayed above the
player’s head, and player’s can PVP and take the tails if they win
● 3 tail return locations exist, but as time goes by that number
decreases. So turning in the tails reduces your risk, but holding
them potentially is more efficient but riskier
● Return to PVP Indent.

■ “A filler is a concept of an event triggered in an open field, and field
contents such as bosses, occupation battles, and siege battles are also
an extension of the event trigger concept.”
➢ Memorials:
■ A direct interaction between a player and the world
■ “The memorial is a direct interaction between the player and the world,
and in the picture below, pressing the monument on the left screen opens
the memorial, giving the player the feeling that they can change the world
(interaction), and sequentially lighting content (each content is final at a
specific point in time). content), and prevents content monopoly.”

■ Defensive side has the advantage, but as time goes on the player can
transform into a golem destroying the wall or jumping on top of the wall to
disturb the opponent’s camp. And a golem that carries people also
appears.
■ There is a secret attack route that can only be used when it is not raining.

PVE Challenge Content:
■ Example: Arc Boss, “Queen Bloody”. (Giant Sandworm)
■ Return to Bestiary Indent.
● The boss is designed to not be too complicated considering the
unpredictable number of attackers and PVP being possible
● The boss is not a simple meat shield
● Requires formation and operation for each class
● Among Queen Bloody’s patterns, spitting larvae can also be used
as a PVP element, and Sand Hell must be quickly removed from
the surrounding.

Giant flying object named Gigantrithe is a moving terrain island that moves along
a set route like a subway line. Using this object to travel makes it possible to
access places not normally accessible. This island will have competition and

➢ https://www.thisisgame.com/webzine/nboard/4/?n=155621
➢ We are now aiming for a first half of 2023 release for TL
■ Source
➢ P2W:
■ We will minimize the gap between users as much as possible, and avoid
P2W design(suggests some P2W but not excessive is the goal??)
■ To add to this there is a change in response to the “partial charge model”
in NA and EU. (In other words, the West is now more open to
“microtransactions” than they were in the past??)
■ TL can achieve good success if it avoids excessive P2W(Again..basically
confirming some P2W??)

✣TL Interview Part 1 (4-27-22)✣
➢ Link to News Article:
https://www.thisisgame.com/webzine/special/nboard/5/?n=148117
Q: Is the gameplay video real gameplay(Such as the Siege Golem with player’s
on it)
A: “YES!”
Q: Is this a separate IP or is it still related to Lineage?
A: Lineage is still at the root of Throne and Liberty. The aspects of Lineage
people enjoy are present. But it is a new world.
Q: What are some things in TL that were in Lineage?
A:
- Group Content
- Siege Warfare
- Competitive Gameplay
Q: What kind of MMO is TL? What MMO can we compare it to?
A:
- It is hard to find a clear comparison
- Some elements are similar, but the game as a whole is unique
Q: Story?
A:
- Story is important but not the core of TL
- Story is delivered early on, but later on players that are not interested can
skip it, players that are interested can seek it out
- They still want to have a well developed story, but make it optional
■ Return to Story Indent.
✣TL Interview Part 2 (4-28-22) ✣
➢ Link to News Article:
https://www.thisisgame.com/webzine/special/nboard/5/?n=148233
Q: Is combat stat based or skills based?
A: More skill based. Things like animal transformations, cooldown usage, and
overall planning of your attacks is very important in 1v1 situations. In group play
it is more about formations and usage of key skills. The environment and
traversal skills also play a big role.
Q: Is combat targeting(TAB??) or non-targeting(Action??)
A: “Combat is a targeting method” (TAB Confirmed?)
■ Return to Combat Indent.
Q: What Races can you play as? What about transformations?
A:
- The only playable race is humans.
Return to Races Indent.
- Players can transform into various land, aquatic, and siege
animals/monsters
- The transformations are powerful and give information and travel
abilities only available while in these forms
- This golem is actually a human player transformed:
Link to image of golem player: https://imgur.com/XoWmZN8
Q: Can you get anywhere you want with the transformations? Players changing
the weather/environment?
A:
- There are limitations. Things like gliding over a castle wall might be
possible if you get to a high enough point, and glide well. Or if the wind is
strong enough and out of the right direction.
Return to Weather Indent.
- There is a high level skill that only one person per server can have that
can change the wind direction.
Return to Weather Indent.
- Other weather/environment changing skills change the climate/cause a
solar eclipse(night)
Q: Do these skills have a big impact on the battle?
A: Yes
Q: It must be difficult to raise a character with that skill?
A: These skills cannot be acquired by leveling a character, you must go out and
get them(Events, leaderboards)
Q: Not all guilds having this skill could create conflict?
A:
- Yes, and it can make the fight change depending on who has each skill
- The skills have a high cooldown and timing of the skill is critical
Q: How big of an impact do these environmental effects/skills have? Players
might complain that they lost a fight because it rained, etc.
A:
- At first the skills/weather had high impact. We have lowered it to
be less drastic of an effect, but still matter
- For example attack power of ranged attacks was affected by the
wind, later we changed it to just the range of the projectiles to tune
it down
Return to Weather Indent.
- Instead of massive combat changes we have changed it to be
more of a change of environment. For example different mob
spawns/drop tables at night.
Return to Day & Night Cycle Indent.
- “In <TL>, there is a concept of 'bad deeds' that accumulate when
PK is performed, but when PK is performed at night, this does not
accumulate.” (Evil Deeds/Bad Deeds, PK/Karma system??)
Return to PVP Indent.
- Topography also matters, puddles of water filling an area when it
rains for example
- Some bosses are stronger at night or when it rains, but if they are
stronger their drops are also better
- Weather changes might open certain dungeon areas that were
inaccessible before
✣TL Interview Part 3 (4-28-22)✣
➢ Link to News Article:
https://www.thisisgame.com/webzine/special/nboard/5/?n=148249
Q: Features locked behind paywalls?
A:
- “There is no features that can only be reached by charging”
- Those who understand the game can advance faster. Those who
pay can receive more benefits. But the key is to control the gap
(Essentially minimize the effect of P2W, IMO)
- Microtransactions allow players that have less time to play a way
to catch up
Q: Some Group Content only accessible to the top players?
A: Those that are ahead “Can do a little more”, but there is not a lot that is locked
away by the highest leveled characters.
Q: Why the classless system? Can you Tank, Heal, DPS?
A:
- In group play, it is possible to play the Tank, Heal, or DPS roles.
Weapons determine the abilities/class you are, and you level the
weapon to get more proficient with that weapon/class. You can
dual wield and mix/match weapons to get different ability
combinations, and you can have two unique weapon sets and
swap between them. (Similar to GW2 or NW)
- This allows players to reroll a “class” more easily essentially
Return to Classes & Weapon Types Indent.
Q: How many character slots?
A: There is talk of only having one character slot since characters can level all
the weapons if they want to reroll. But this is not confirmed
Q: If there is no class, how do you grow a character? Are stats selected by the
players?
A: Players distribute stats. There is a possibility of different builds, some
Greatsword users might go strength, some might choose to increase the power
of skills.
Q: How strong is gear?
A:
- Gear does not create a huge gap. There is a gap between players
that have played a long time and new players, but the gap is not
as big as some games
-
You can feel the difference in gear, but it is not enough to
completely turn the tide of war
There is no “one shots”, instead the time to kill is long enough to
allow for strategy to take place
Q: Can players “Control” an area of the map like in Lineage? Such as dungeons
or world bosses?
A: Controlling or locking down a boss or dungeon will not be the optimal way to
play. There is no way to completely prevent that from happening, but it is not the
best way to get ahead in the game.
Q: Console release real? Both PS5 and XBOX?
A: Yes!
Link to image of Console Platform: https://imgur.com/ME9j9IP
Q: Cloud/mobile play?
A: Yes on the ‘Purple” app
Q: Crossplay between PC and Console?
A: No
Q: World size and future updates?
A:
- The world might be small at first, but it will be “dense” with
multi-level underground dungeons and topography
- The world will expand with updates to eventually be 20 times the
launch size
Q: Future game updates?
A: Little by little by interviews, videos, etc.

turn in at three turn in NPCs, which later are less than 3 turn in
NPCs. You can PVP and steal the wolf tails from others, so
turning in is needed to be safe, but collecting more is higher
