It sounds like you're expressing frustration or disappointment with Throne and Liberty, the MMORPG developed by NCSoft. While the game had a rocky launch and mixed reception, declaring it "dead" might be a bit prematurebut there are valid criticisms. Heres a breakdown of its current state: Why Some Say Its "Dead" Mixed Reviews at Launch - Critics and players criticized its pay-to-win (P2W) elements, repetitive gameplay, and lack of innovation compared to other MMORPGs. - The auto-play (AFK farming) system was particularly divisive. Steep Competition - It launched around the same time as Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail, Elden Ring DLC, and Black Desert Mobile updates, splitting the MMORPG audience. Declining Player Base (West vs. Korea) - While it still has a dedicated Korean player base, Western interest has waned due to monetization concerns and slow content updates. NCSofts Monetization Issues - NCSoft has a history of aggressive monetization (see Blade & Soul, Lineage W), and Throne and Liberty follows a similar model, alienating some players. Is It Really Dead? No (yet), but its struggling to retain a mainstream Western audience. The game still receives updates, and NCSoft may adjust monetization based on feedback. If player counts drop significantly in Korea (its primary market), NCSoft might shift focus to Project LLL or other titles. Alternatives If Youre Disappointed PvE Focus: Final Fantasy XIV, Guild Wars 2 PvP Focus: Black Desert Online, New World (revamped) Upcoming: Ashes of Creation, Dune: Awakening Would you like a deeper analysis on any specific aspect (monetization, gameplay, future updates)? Or are you looking for a different type of game?

Venture into the depths of Azeroth itself in this groundbreaking expansion. Face new threats emerging from the planet's core, explore mysterious underground realms, and uncover secrets that will reshape your understanding of the Warcraft universe forever.
The War Within brings so much fresh content to WoW. The new zones are absolutely stunning and the storyline is engaging. Been playing for 15 years and this expansion reignited my passion for the game.
The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
