Throne and Liberty 4.20.0 merges its two services, hands every account a level 60 boost and reworks Skill Cores

Throne and Liberty's update 4.20.0 arrived on 10 November with maintenance at 10:00 UTC for players on the Amazon Game Studios service and 20:00 UTC for those on the NC service. The headline change is that the two services now run under one set of rules.

From now on everyone shares the same weekly maintenance, every Wednesday at 05:30 UTC, and the same weekly content reset at 06:00 UTC on Wednesdays. Before this, NC players had theirs on Tuesdays and Amazon players on Thursdays. Former NC players can now create up to six characters and move between servers in different regions, though transfers are paused for the first few days and each move has a 30-day cooldown. Characters that were given a temporary name during the merge lose access to whispers, mail, friend requests and guild invites until they use the free name change ticket sent by mail. The first launch after the update also resets language, controls, sound and graphics settings to defaults.

Every new and existing account gets one free Character Boost Ticket, which can now be used on a character you already have (level 2 to 59) rather than only a fresh one. It takes that character to level 60 with gear for your chosen weapon pair, a 28-day membership and a large pile of currency and materials, and starts you in a short tutorial zone first.

Skill Cores are the other big change. They are now registered to your character and fitted to dedicated equipment positions, so you can swap them freely with no imprint or extraction cost, and 30 new ones have been added, three per weapon type. Guild Alliances have been removed entirely, and new seasons start for the Tower of Greed, Battlegrounds, Dimensional Trials, Gate of Infinity and Hall of Illusion.

Throne and Liberty is free to play on Steam; our Throne and Liberty page tracks its player numbers, which have fallen a long way from its 2024 launch.
