Throne & Libertyis the hot kind of new MMORPG that is about to be released for western audiences, and a lot of people are going to be wondering if it is viable to play it solo. As somebody who does that for most MMOs before eventually diving into guild content later on, it’s almost always completely fine to play these solo, but let’s go through a few reasons as to why that might be the case for this game!
Can You Play It Solo?
If you are just looking for a quick answer to that question, then yes, soloing in Throne & Liberty is fine to a point. The overall experience is still enjoyable, and you can go through tons of hours worth of content before you hit a wall.
Now, for a slightly more detailed answer, Throne & Liberty offers a lot of PVE activities to sink your teeth into. This includes a lot of open world content and instanced dungeons / boss fights.
There are also a handful of life skills to work on with absolutely no help from others, such as fishingand cooking. They might add more eventually, so there’s a lot to look forward to in that regard
If you ever find content that requires a party (or is just more efficient with one), you can easily hop into a quick PUG to get it done before parting ways and going back to the solo life. Some PVE activities even offer matchmaking, and you hardly need to interact with others throughout a run.
That is really all you need to know unless you are trying to break into the more “endgame” stuff, but even then, you can ease yourself into some of it without interacting with other people too much.
Join a “Casual” Guild
Eventually, even though you are treating the game as a solo experience, you are going to want to join a casual guild for the rewards and other bonuses that you can earn. There are always groups like these, you just need to pay attention to global chat or ask around yourself to find them.
A lot of the content in the later stages of your in-game career will be much better or just doable in general if you are in a guild, so you will want to find one just so you have more to do when you reach that point.
This is importanteven if you are not interested in mass PVP. A lot of endgame content requires at least a small group to complete, and this is how you are going to get better gear. With a casual guild, it will be easier to pop in and out of such content as you won’t rely on randoms.
So, to sum it all up, the game is completely playable solo and there is a lot of daily content to go through on your own. With that said, there will be bits of group content that you’ll want to participate in for variousrewards and endgame gear.
Ironically, there are loads of casual groups of “solo” players who understand that some people prefer to play at their own pace but also acknowledge that the game will eventually push you to team up. Find a group like that in your server and you will have no issues progressing kind of on your own.
