Throne and Liberty moves to NC on November 10 — what happens to your account, and the October 30 opt-out deadline
Amazon Game Studios is transitioning live operations of Throne and Liberty in the West back to the game’s developer, NC, operating through its subsidiary FirstSpark Games. The service-transition maintenance begins November 10, 2026. Amazon has not yet published its start time or how long it will last.
The short version
- Do nothing and you keep everything. Characters, items, currency, progression and entitlements transfer to NC automatically.
- ⚠️ The opt-out deadline is October 30. Opting out means your account data is not transferred. If you later play under NC, you start fresh. Amazon strongly recommends thinking it through first.
- After the move, you log in, accept NC’s Terms and Policies and complete any account activation it asks for.
- Xbox players need to install the new “Throne and Liberty” app published by NC. The current app has been renamed “Throne and Liberty AGS” in preparation.
Already in effect since the October 26–27 maintenance
- The Auction House is closed until the transition is complete. Anything you had listed went to the NPC Storage Manager, even past your storage limit, and Lucent from completed sales was credited to your balance.
- Celebration Packs, Character Boost and Lucent packs are off sale on Steam, Xbox, PlayStation and the in-game Shop. Lucent, Loyalty Points, Sollant and Ornate Coins you already hold can still be used.
- Some settings will be reset at the transition if you change them before it: the Settings menu, chat tabs, HUD layout, the Ring Menu, favourites, Combat Settings, Storage Quick Deposit, Artifact search presets and map icon filters. Skill and Equipment presets are not reset.
What stays the same, and what changes
| After the transition | |
|---|---|
| Steam, PlayStation and Xbox accounts | Unchanged — you keep playing on the same accounts |
| Regions | All stay, but “Japan, Oceania” is renamed Asia, Oceania |
| Cross-play | Unchanged |
| New launcher | NC’s PURPLE is added; PURPLE, Steam, PlayStation and Xbox players share one environment |
| Cross-progression | Between Steam and PURPLE only; PlayStation and Xbox keep separate progression |
| Unclaimed mail | Kept, and claimable after the move |
| Storage Chest items | Claim purchases, Twitch Drops and Game Pass / PS Plus perks before November 10. Anything left is claimed for you and sent by mail |
| Friends, Feuds, Interests | Kept. Your Blocked list is reset |
| Bans and penalties | Transfer to NC |
Duplicate names, where the merged service produces them, go by rule. The character with the higher Combat Power keeps its name, with total playtime as the tie-break. The other gets a random name and a Character Rename Ticket. For guilds, more Guild Activity Points wins, then Guild Experience, and the other guild leader gets one rename.
Guilds and opt-outs: members who opt out are removed from their guild. If one was the guild leader, leadership passes by automatic succession. A guild that loses every member is disbanded.
Season schedule around the transition
From the Update 4.18.0 notes:
- Dimensional Trial stops after November 6 and returns November 11.
- Gate of Infinity stops after November 5 and returns November 11.
- Battlegrounds and Hall of Illusion seasons end November 10, and the new ones begin right after.
- The Skill Core rework also lands on November 10. Cores move from engraving into dedicated equipped slots with presets, and existing Imprint and Extraction Scrolls are converted by mail.
Daily and weekly resets stay at 08:00 UTC throughout, including across the daylight-saving change.
