  "account": "North Carolina has assumed direct control of the global service for the massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) \"Throne and Liberty\" (TL), moving away from Amazon Games' previous stewardship, according to a November 11 announcement. Previously, Amazon Games Studios was responsible for operating TL across Steam, PURPLE, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms.\n\nFollowing the transfer, players can now access TL through a consistent global environment, irrespective of their chosen gaming platform, without any disruption to their existing data. Character progression, inventory items, and the in-game currency Lucent remain intact, ensuring that players can continue their gameplay with their accumulated progress and assets.\n\nIn response to the integration, NC aims to enhance collaboration between TL's development and live-service teams. By managing the global service independently, the company seeks to provide faster feedback response and a more uniform gameplay experience for players worldwide. Additionally, NC plans to reestablish direct communication with the global player community.\n\nThe MMORPG is set to host its first livestream post-service transition on its official YouTube channel at 10 a.m. Pacific Time on November 12. The broadcast will introduce TL's new community manager and outline the team's plans for sustaining community engagement.\n\nTo commemorate the service integration, TL is introducing a progression-support event. Players who log in during the event window will receive a \"Jumping Ticket,\" granting them the ability to level up their character to Level 60 and acquire Level 75 equipment. This ticket facilitates a brief tutorial, enabling players to swiftly join other users in exploring TL's content without navigating the early stages of character progression. Further details regarding the integrated global service and the event can be found on the official TL website.",
