CAPÍTULO 01

The transition calendar

System

The warning came in August. Now the dates have arrived. Amazon Game Studios is handing over the Western operation of Throne and Liberty to NC, which takes over publishing the game directly through its subsidiary FirstSpark Games.

Three dates matter here, and they don't line up with the urgency order they seem to suggest. The first one that affects you is October 26. The one with no undo is October 30.

October 26, 2026

Auction House and paid products
▼ Closes
Auction House closed and Celebration Packs, Character Boost, and Lucent packs removed from Steam, Xbox, PlayStation, and the in-game Shop — until the transition is complete.

October 30, 2026

Final opt-out deadline
▼ Deadline
Last day to request that your data not be transferred. After that, migration happens automatically.

November 10, 2026

Service transition maintenance
⚙ Migration
Game services go offline while accounts, characters, progression, and entitlements are transferred to NC. Exact time and estimated duration will be announced later.

The date with no forgiveness is October 30

⟡ Heads up
The opt-out is irreversible in consequence: characters, progression, and inventory do not carry over. Anyone who opts out and later wants to play under NC starts from zero. Doing nothing is the safe option — the standard migration happens on its own.
CAPÍTULO 02

What happens on November 10

System

During the maintenance window, the game goes offline. On the other side, NC brings the service back up and you log in again — accept the new Terms and Policies and continue in Solisium exactly where you left off.

Characters, items, currency, and progression carry over intact. What changes is who operates it, who provides support, and under which terms.

⟡ What does NOT change

  • Your account, characters, progression, and inventory
  • Your platform — Steam, PlayStation, or Xbox, the same accounts as always
  • Access to the game and to your game data
  • Cross-Play between platforms stays the same
  • All regions and realms stay available
  • Play and purchase history preserved

⟡ What changes

  • The game's publisher — AGS is out, NC is in
  • The customer support provider and the support channels
  • The support policies
  • The live operations team
  • The Terms and Policies — every player will have to accept NC's new ones
  • The Japan, Oceania region gets renamed to Asia, Oceania
  • Before — make sure your Amazon Games ID (AGID) is active. You only need it if you're going to request an opt-out, but it's what unlocks the process.
  • Before — link your platform account to your AGID. This is also required for the opt-out to work.
  • Before — follow the official channels. Discord, X, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Steam, and in-game notices. Any action required from players will be communicated in advance.
  • After — accept NC's Terms and Policies on your first login and complete the account activation steps.
  • After — Xbox players install the new "Throne and Liberty" app published by NC.
  • Mandatory download on all three platforms — there will be a new update to download on Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox.
CAPÍTULO 03

Auction House and economy

System

The Auction House closes on October 26 and only reopens once NC's operation is live. The reason is accounting: reconciling active listings and pending payments so items and Lucent arrive clean on the other side.

You can complete or cancel listings before 10/26, but there's no need to rush — whatever's left will be processed during the October 26 maintenance itself.

Items listed on the Auction House

At the start of the 10/26 maintenance
⚙ Returned
They go to the NPC Storage Manager. Delivery happens even if it exceeds your maximum storage capacity.

Pending Lucent from completed sales

Payments in transit
▲ Credited
Sales already closed with a pending payment get credited to your balance.

Auction House reopening

Post-transition
⚙ Confirmed
Reopens as soon as NC's operation goes live. NC will announce the exact timing.

In-game currencies

Lucent · Loyalty Points · Sollant · Ornate Coins
⚙ Intact
Every amount you currently own stays usable before and after the transition.

Celebration Packs · Character Boost · Lucent packs

Starting 10/26
▼ Suspended
Removed from Steam, Xbox, PlayStation, and the in-game Shop until the transition is complete. Lucent and items you already own are not affected and migrate with the account.

Paid products coming back

Post-transition
⚙ No date
They return once the transition is complete. NC will announce shop availability once the service is live.

Empty your Storage Chest before the 10th

⟡ Heads up
The official recommendation is to claim everything sitting in your Storage Chest from shop purchases, Twitch Drops rewards, and Xbox Game Pass / PlayStation Plus perks before the 11/10 maintenance. Anything left unclaimed will be automatically claimed and delivered via in-game mail. Unclaimed mail is also preserved and can be collected after the migration.
CAPÍTULO 04

Opt-out — the price of leaving

System

There's an option to not transfer your data. It's official, it's legitimate, and it costs everything you've built.

The request window runs through October 30, via the AGS support form. Anyone who does nothing has their data migrated normally — that's the default path, and it's what AGS itself recommends.

Data that migrates by default

No action needed
⚙ Automatic
Game data (characters, progression, inventory), Account ID, character data, and platform identifiers — all included to ensure service continuity.

If you choose to opt out

Direct consequence
▼ Total loss
Characters, progression, and inventory do not carry over. To play under NC, you start from zero. Your AGS account data then follows Amazon's standard retention and deletion policies.

Guild with a member who opted out

Side effect of the opt-out
▼ Removed
Members who opt out are removed from the guild. If the leader opts out, leadership passes through the automatic succession order. A guild that loses all its members is automatically disbanded.

Guild progression and members

For those who stay
▲ Preserved
All guild information is kept as-is — except for characters that opted out.

Social lists

Friends · Feuds · Interests · Blocked
⚙ Partial
Friends, Feuds, and Interests stay unchanged. The Blocked list gets reset. Characters from accounts that opted out are removed from the lists.
  • The request is made at help.playthroneandliberty.com/hc/articles/53803647673627, through the AGS support article.
  • Prerequisite: your Amazon Games ID (AGID) needs to be active and your platform account linked to it — without that, the process doesn't run.
  • Deadline: October 30, 2026. AGS explicitly recommends thinking twice: progress and in-game achievements don't come back.
CAPÍTULO 05

Duplicate names — who keeps theirs

System

Merging two services into a unified environment creates name collisions. The tiebreak rule is already published, and it's not based on creation date — it's based on account merit.

Whoever loses the name gets compensation, but also gets a random name until they use the ticket.

Character name — criterion 1

Primary tiebreaker
⚙ Combat Power
The character with the highest Combat Power keeps the name.

Character name — criterion 2

Tie on Combat Power
⚙ Playtime
If Combat Power is equal, the character with the longer total playtime keeps the name.

Character name — tiebreak loser

Compensation
▼ Forced rename
Gets a random name and 1 Character Rename Ticket.

Guild name — criterion 1

Primary tiebreaker
⚙ Activity Points
The guild with more Guild Activity Points keeps the name.

Guild name — criterion 2

Tie on Activity Points
⚙ Experience
If Activity Points tie, the guild with higher Guild Experience keeps the name.

Guild name — tiebreak loser

Compensation
▼ Forced rename
Gets a random name, and the Guild Leader gets one opportunity to change it.
CAPÍTULO 06

PURPLE, Xbox, and cross-progression

System

NC brings its own launcher. PURPLE arrives as a new entry point, and players on every platform stay in the same environment — but shared progression has a limit.

On the Xbox side, there's a mandatory app switch. Anyone who doesn't install the new one doesn't play.

PURPLE

New platform / NC's launcher
▲ Added
Becomes a way to access the game, provided by NC.

Unified environment

PURPLE · Steam · PlayStation · Xbox
▲ Play together
Players from all four platforms coexist in a single unified environment.

Cross-Play

Across platforms
⚙ Unchanged
Cross-Play status stays exactly the same as today.

Cross-Progression

The limit of the promise
⚙ Steam ↔ PURPLE
Supported only between Steam and PURPLE. PlayStation and Xbox keep independent progressions, as they do today.

Xbox app

Renamed to "Throne and Liberty AGS"
⚙ Preparation
It's the same app from AGS, just with a name variation to prepare for the transition. After it, you need to install the new "Throne and Liberty" app published by NC and accept NC's Terms. Account data carries over. AGS promises step-by-step guidance before the switch.

Regions and realms

Americas · Europe · Japan, Oceania
⚙ Kept
All of them stay available after the transition. Japan, Oceania will be renamed to Asia, Oceania. AGS and NC keep the current regions both from the Western service and from NC's Korean service.

Region transfer

Current window
⚙ Open
You can transfer your account's region using the existing in-game feature at any time before the transition. Afterward, NC will publish a policy and support plan for region and realm transfers.
CAPÍTULO 07

Support and content after the switch

System

The least glamorous part of the announcement is the one that will sting the most on the 11th: support tickets don't transfer. If you have something open with AGS, settle it beforehand.

Content, on the other hand, doesn't stop. Updates and fixes keep coming through regular maintenance — with one scheduling caveat.

AGS support tickets

Support history
▼ Don't migrate
No ticket open with AGS's support center transfers to NC's support center.

Penalty history

Bans · suspensions · penalties
⚙ Migrates
The account's enforcement history transfers to NC. A rap sheet carries over too.

Support channel

Before vs. after
⚙ Switch
Before migration: Amazon Game Studios support at help.playthroneandliberty.com. After: NC support — exact contact details will be announced once confirmed.

Content updates

During the transition
▲ Continue
The game keeps receiving regular updates and fixes through normal maintenance. But the schedule for some major updates close to the switch may be adjusted to ensure a stable data transfer.
  • Details about the 11/10 maintenance, including estimated downtime, will be published closer to the date.
  • Official channels: Discord, X, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Steam, and in-game notices. Any action required from players will be communicated in advance.
  • For information from NC's side on the transition: tl.plaync.com.
  • The official FAQ keeps getting updated as new details are confirmed.

Scaryel comments

⟡ Creator's voice
“The headline is November 10, but the date that decides your life is October 30 — and almost nobody is going to read that far. The opt-out isn't some harmless privacy button: it's the delete-account button, and it drags your guild down with it. If your leader vanished from the game and clicks that out of obligation, leadership falls to automatic succession and nobody tells the guild. What I'd do this week: confirm your AGID is active and linked, empty your Storage Chest, close any open support ticket with AGS, and check the Combat Power of whoever shares your name on the Korean side. That last one is the one that's going to cause tears on the 11th.”

Impact

Impact on players

Community

What changes in practice

The Auction House closes on October 26: anyone relying on selling for Lucent to fund their build needs to move those sales up.

For guilds
Check whether any officer is planning to opt out — a member who leaves gets removed, and a leader who leaves triggers automatic succession.
For solo PvP
Character name is decided by Combat Power; if there's a collision risk, raising CP before the switch is a real defense.
For casual players
Claim everything from your Storage Chest before 11/10, and don't buy a paid pack after 10/26 — the shop closes.
