I started with Lineage 2. Not just played it — I lived it. For years.
We made server history with a small, tight-knit group, going up against clans five times our size. We didn’t always win, but every fight mattered. There was tension, betrayal, revenge, strategy, and stories.
Our crest wasn’t just a logo — it was a warning.
And PvP? It was art. It was war. It was personal.

I waited for Throne and Liberty for years, hoping — no, deluding myself — that it might echo even a fraction of that experience. It didn’t.

Not because I "grew up" or "don’t have time anymore".
But because this game, like so many others in the last decade, wasn’t built to make you feel anything. It was built to retain, to monetize, to schedule.

TL looks good, but it’s cold. Massive, but soulless. Complex, yet meaningless.

PvP is a visual mess where numbers and gearscore win — not brains.
Social dynamics are shallow or irrelevant.
Reputation means nothing. No one fears you. No one remembers you. The world doesn’t respond to your presence.

Every piece of content is wrapped in dailies, login rewards, seasonal events, and forced progression.
You’re not exploring — you’re following.
You’re not reacting — you’re completing.
And when you log off, you realize you didn’t feel a thing.

This isn’t nostalgia speaking. It’s clarity.
Modern MMORPGs aren’t worlds. They’re amusement parks on timers.
There’s no organic conflict, no surprises, nothing that’s yours.

So you look at Throne and Liberty, this polished, hyped, long-awaited title, and you understand it’s not bad.
It’s just painfully empty.

And for those of us who truly lived MMOs, that emptiness is the most devastating part of all.

Rating: 4/10 – For the technical quality and the effort behind it.

I am a 45 yo father, probably one of the oldest people playing this game. I am a single father to my Son, who is 14 now. My son heard of this game from his uncle, so we installed it on his computer and he started playing. By the end of the week he had 24 hours on this game. This was horrible for me, as it was already hard for me to find ways to spend time with my son, as he is always out with his friends or just watching YouTube. So i decided to make a Steam account and get this game to see if I could maybe play alongside him. I loaded into the game, picked my character and world and started playing but I was stuck on what you where supposed to do. I asked my Son for help and he hosted a game for me to join. I loved it as it was the best time I had spent with my Son since my wife had died. This game has ever since brought me and my son closer again and now we actually spend time together outside the house together as well. This game reminded me that there's fun to be had in everything, and it has brought both me and my Son many happy memories.

Me aburrió a las 3 horas.
