≫ WHAT'S UP WITH GATEWAY ROLEPLAY? ≪

  • We've been radio silent for a long time now. We posted an announcement in our Discord server back in April of 2025, but never updated the forums. So what's up with Gateway Roleplay?

    After 5 long years, we've decided to place the development of Ties That Bind on an indefinite hold.

    This doesn't mean it's cancelled. We fully intend to run Ties That Bind: What Lies Beneath and Ties That Bind: City of Angels eventually. But to do so, we need to take a step back. In the meantime, we'll be working on smaller, invite-only projects.

    Thank you to everyone who has stuck with us this long! MindGate and I (Pika) have been working on this server for over a decade now. It truly is a passion project for us.

    Hello :)
    I'm considering making a character. Is the server still active and how eurofriendly is it?
  2. MindGate 4:07 PM MindGate
    Welcome! We're going through a brief bit of inactivity right now - our current lore is still going on, but a large amount of our player base is waiting for the animation build to release. There's a couple of EU players on the server, too, but a large amount of our events are set for the EST timezone.

    Hello there.

    Do you mind me asking what exactly the whole setup of this is? I couldn't find much in lore and whatnot.
  4. Bennett 5:21 PM Bennett
    So, zombies/infected, huh? Seems fun.

    the lore threads are not necessarily insightful .. the essentials are that a zombie virus swept the world around 14ish years ago, maybe 15 now .. definitely zombies and not just infected, as the host dies and is reanimated .. the disease itself was studied heavily (though, it would seem, to little effect as they were unable to stop it). However, characters who have been around the block would know there's more going on besides just zombies. There's talk of flesh-eating fog and of horrible mutant monsters in some locations.
  2. J 12:26 AM Jouska
    That's more the background elements, as your average individual is mostly intent on survival this long after your standard societal services have broken down .. places that have managed to maintain some level of public utilities are practically paradises, communities remain small and tight-knit, and highway banditry is oft
    the rule rather than the exception
  3. J 12:31 AM Jouska
    the server itself is going through a low population phase .. our loremaster has been sick and story progression is limited while he's recovering, and more than a few people are waiting for build 41 to come out .. we have a handful of dedicated folks keeping the current lore going, myself included, but due to time zone mismatches we have to coordinate through discord as to when everyone shows up .. just logging in is a gamble that you'll be able to find someone
  4. J 12:35 AM Jouska
    the current story is that there is a town called monroe thats having some, shall we say, political issues .. there is a rival-ish faction called the cpf that has their own political issues .. there is friction between the two .. and occasionally bandits, zombies, or monsters show up to spark the flames

    The Server is Whitelisted. Please click on the tab titled "New Players Start Here" to read our rules, our lore, and how to submit an application.
  3. Kendallod 7:19 AM Kendallod
    Ah, I thought I had been whitelisted by making an account. (I read the rules and stuff already). Thanks for fast response!
  4. Kendallod 9:44 AM Kendallod
    How long does it usually take for a character to be whitelisted?
  5. Pika 11:57 AM Pika
    Not long if a staff member is awake and free! It more so depends on if any revisions need to be made.

    Is the rp still alive on the server?
  2. Pika 1:41 PM Pika
    Yup! The player base is significantly smaller with many people waiting for B41, but the lore is still going as strong as ever
  3. Rouhi 3:46 PM Rouhi

  3. J 12:54 AM Jouska

    And hit us up on the discord if you want to plan some interaction, doesn't matter who your character is, we can probably find a way to get you involved :)

    I figure once the update drops, maybe with a new flow of people coming in, this may be used a bit more.

    Current Plans

    Hello Everyone, Today, the Multiplayer Update released to Build 41. Like everyone, we are very excited, however, with this release, I think we should clarify our plans for What Remains going forwards. Firstly, we will be finishing the rest of the lore in the current, Build 40 release. Updating...
