Yes! Throne and Liberty is a free toplay MMO from developers NCSoft, which also offers paid versions with benefits like five days of early access, direct access to various Morph (Mounts), in-game titles, emotes, outfits, and Lucent, the premium currency.  

This is not the first time we have had an MMO that is technically free to play but also offers paid versions with in-game items and rewards as compensation, with the main idea being supporting the developers.

That being said, Throne and Liberty will become accessible to play for free on its global release, set for October 1, 2024, at 10 a.m. PST.
