Throne and Liberty: Different Milestones server issues explained

Compromised liberty.

Throne and Liberty is currently one of the biggest games on Steam, but an issue has been ruining the otherwise great experience to a lot of players. I’m talking about of “Different Milestones”, an ominous and mysterious message that shows up before players get barred from joining one of the game’s servers. What’s that all about?

“Different Milestones” pertains to a problem stemming from the early access version of the game’s integration with the launch version. If you created your character and started your quest during the early access period, you might not be able to join a server running the final version of the game. That’s because some of the milestones you’ve achieved in the early access period of the game are not compatible with the launch server.

Even worse, some players are complaining that characters created in Launch Servers can join Early Access servers, but I do not know if this will happen to all accounts or has to do with the amount of progress achieved, but I advise against risking it for the time bein♌g.

To avoid the problem altogether,🎀 you should just create a new charactཧer in the launch server and avoid ever switching to the old ones.

This issue is bumming a lot of players, as many paid for early access and already had a lot of progress from the early days of Throne and Liberty. It’s possible that Throne and Liberty’s devs at NCsoft will at some point fix this issue and allow players to join with their characters made in early access, but there’s no guarantee of when or if it will happen.

Issues between to Throne and Liberty, but they’re a bummer that can totally be prevented. Larian, for example, managed to gracefully avoid similar issues before the release of Baldur’s Gate 3
