There's no 'right way' to play an MMORPG. Although the starting point may be the same for everyone, some begin their journeys simply to explore. Some create guilds and teams, striving to be the best. Some collect fortunes to get what they desire. And some simply enjoy gentle banter with other players. In this world, you can create your own legendary stories. That boundless freedom is why I love MMORPGs, and TL's world offers just that.
TL has a class-less combat system, which means players can adapt their style by picking up different weapons without feeling tied-down to a certain set of skills and abilities. PVP is not forced, but can instead be opted into by entering certain zones during PVP events. There is a PVP ranking system. Guilds can also compete over areas of the map and earn rewards for controlling certain zones.
Guilds in Throne and Liberty will be a collection of players who work together and help each other out. Based on other MMO games it seems possible that guilds will play some role in trading and selling items to other players, however this is not confirmed and it could instead be done with a centralized shop or auction house.
What we do know for certain about the guilds in Throne and Liberty is that they will be able to participate in guild wars. There are two special resources that can only be obtained by guilds via guild wars – Blessing Stones and Dimension Stones. Together, the stones are called Possession Stones.
Guilds will do battle with each other, with the victor obtaining the stone. The full list of abilities that these stones will grant has not yet been revealed, but we do know that they will unlock new features for guilds, and allow them to obtain rare materials and resources that will be vital for upgrading the guild’s capabilities.
A short preview of how guild wars will look in Throne and Liberty was shown during the Directors’ Preview, released a few weeks ago. The battles will involve large numbers of players on each side, roughly similar to the numbers seen in the Alliance War in the Elder Scrolls Online, for example.
The Directors’ Preview emphasized the importance of strategy and clever usage of the environment in order to help your side to prevail in these battles. For example setting up solid defensive perimeters and utilizing features of the terrain, such as high ground and chokepoints to your advantage.
Note that guild wars are not the only type of PvP expected to be available in Throne and Liberty.
