Throne and Liberty issues warning about new PvP mode before it's even out

Throne and Liberty publisher Amazon Games is warning players about an unintended strategy in Castle Siege events, before the PvP mode has even been added to the MMO. These colossal server-wide showdowns will pit guilds against each other in long conflicts, and they're supposed to incentivize working with your teammates to emerge with control of the game's castles. That said, it looks like the attackers are going to start with an advantage, so Amazon hopes sharing their strategy ahead of time can help defenders properly prepare.

THRONE AND LIBERTY Update 1.7.0

THRONE AND LIBERTY Update 1.7.0 downtime will begin at 10:30 p.m. PT (6:30 a.m. UTC) on November 13 and last approximately 4.5 hours. With the frightful conclusion of Haunted Harvest comes the start of Arena Season One. Reach higher ranks for unique rewards like a seasonal title, plus themed Dash, Glide, and Swim morphs.

Check out the full release notes, including changes to Peace-mode world boss access portals, UI, and more below.

[h3]General[/h3]
  • Guilds that have control of Stoneguard Castle can now schedule Tax Deliveries.
  • Haunted Harvest is now over. Thanks to everyone that participated!
  • Arena Season One is now live. Ready your weapons as the rankings reset for a fresh climb to the top of the ladder.
  • Event Times: Regions with Daylight Savings Time changes (Europe and North America) have had their hourly event schedules adjusted to return events to the pre-time change hours.
  • For Peace-mode world boss spawns, new access portals will now appear at the entrance of open world dungeons to transport players to the boss location and avoid Night and Eclipse effects.
  • When using these access portals, players will be teleported near the boss portal selection area and placed under a 30-second protection effect.
  • Known Issue: The new Sanctum of Desire access portal appears inside the PvP-enabled border and will be adjusted in a future update. We recommend dash morphing to access this portal while under the initial 5-second protection effect for the time being.
  • Weekly Mission rewards adjusted to once again reset during the weekly maintenance window.
  • Accounts with negative Lucent balances will no longer be able to receive Lucent distributions from their guild.
  • Equipment: Extract items can now be compared with equipped gear to view the effective changes of applying the extract.
  • Equipment: The default keybind for viewing a piece of equipment at max enhancement is now ALT+G.
  • Skills - Dagger: Fixed an issue that caused the effect from the passive skill Assassin Step to carry over when changing weapons.
  • Combat: Enhanced the visual effects for Heavy Attacks.

[h3]UI[/h3]
  • Exiting a popup with the ESC key while viewing your inventory no longer closes the Inventory screen.
  • Fixed an issue when opening multiple selection chests that reset the quantity opened to 1 when clicking to confirm.
  • Applied the latest localization strings to correct various text length issues.

We look forward to watching server storylines develop in the first Castle Siege event on November 17.

As Throne and Liberty update 1.6 lands, Amazon reveals some of the key stats from our first month in Solisium, and the game has already racked up an impressive head count of max-level players.

THRONE AND LIBERTY Update 1.6.0


THRONE AND LIBERTY Update 1.6.0 downtime will begin at 10:30PM PT (5:30AM UTC) on November 6 and last approximately 2 hours. It includes stability and back-end service improvements. Check out our Haunted Harvest community showcase, plus a preview of what to expect in the first Tax Delivery and Castle Siege events. We’ve also compiled some of your most impressive achievements since launch.

[h2]Haunted Harvest Community Showcase[/h2]


Thanks to everyone that participated in our Haunted Harvest Community Showcase. Look forward to future showcases and contests on the THRONE AND LIBERTY Discord.

The THRONE AND LIBERTY Discord server was built for Amazon Games staff members to host events, townhalls, AMAs, and talk to the community. Say hello, meet other players, and provide feedback on how to make Solisium better for every type of player. Guilds are another major aspect of Discord engagement.

To find the right group, first ask yourself what type of guild would you enjoy the most. Want to focus on specific game modes? There’s a guild for that. How about leaderboards? There’s a guild for that too. Now think about what you’re most excited about in THRONE AND LIBERTY. There’s a guild for that, if you want to create it. Gather players with shared interests, goals, or something else entirely for an even more satisfying experience.

[h3]First Month in Solisium[/h3]
We’re happy to share some notable stats since the start of your journey and can’t wait to see what you’ll accomplish next.


[h3]Tax Delivery Event[/h3]
Now that all First Defenders have been selected, the reigning guild may schedule the Tax Delivery event for their server.
  • Reigning guilds may schedule a Tax Delivery between 2PM and 1 AM local server time.
  • To check when the Tax Delivery event is scheduled, open up your Map and then check the Timetable under Daily.

Tax Delivery is a major guild event where the reigning guild must protect a caravan of taxes acquired from their territory. If the reigning guild successfully transport their spoils from Vienta Village to Stoneguard Castle, they’ll receive a generous bounty of Lucent and Sollant. However, if an attacking player thwarts the delivery, the rewards will instead be distributed to every participant outside of the First Defenders’ Alliance.


Each Tax Delivery begins with the reigning guild selecting a member to become the Tax Delivery Golem. Capitalize on powerful abilities as the Titan Cargo to fend off the seemingly endless onslaught of players that will stop at nothing for a piece of the prize. Communication and coordination between the reigning guild can make or break a delivery.

Attacking guilds must destroy the Titan Cargo Sealing Stone. Fortunately, they have the ability to contend with the might of the Titan Cargo through barriers, bomb carriers, Archeum Knights, and the fearsome debuffs of the Chaos Golem.

How will you prepare to stop, or secure, the Tax Delivery?

[h3]Castle Siege Event[/h3]
The first Castle Siege event will commence on November 17.


As the siege begins, guilds have 45 minutes to achieve victory. Attackers must storm the castle, breach its fortified gates, and capture the throne room. Defenders, transported inside the castle at the start, must hold their ground, leveraging every resource at their disposal to repel the invaders. If the throne is contested when the timer runs out, the siege enters a tense 3-minute overtime, where the battle's outcome hangs in the balance.

Strategic locations like Siege Ruins play a crucial role. Capturing these ruins not only provides teleportation and resurrection points, but also allows attacking guilds to summon powerful Siege Golems. Each golem — whether it’s the Stone Crasher, Battle Carrier, Gate Hammer, or Jump Attacker — brings unique abilities to the battlefield, from devastating castle walls to transporting players over them.


Attackers must navigate the castle's intricate layout, using environmental elements like the sewage system for surprise ambushes or operating gate levers to control access points. The Pillage Stones and Resurrection Stones scattered throughout the battlefield add another layer of strategy, offering opportunities to steal resources or reinforce their position. While most guilds will focus on taking power in the throne room, these 5 Pillage Stones can be captured by any attackers to snatch Sollant and Lucent from the Castle Vault, even if the reigning guild maintains control.

No matter your strategy, all tactics will converge at the throne. There can only be one champion of Stoneguard Castle. Form alliances to rule together or betray your way to the top.


We look forward to watching server storylines develop across these events. Thanks for your support! We’ll see you in Solisium.
