≫ 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.

Title: Mechanical player killing
Character Name: Crystal Chen
In-Game Coordinate: Resident services

I was roleplaying a scene between Henry Patton, which went onto private Discord as we were discovering secret factional information (or supposed to be). He then claims he is going outside to collect some incriminating documents on another player character when I suddenly hear an explosion in-game... and suddenly my character is dead and that's it. He roleplayed no additional actions other than putting his backpack on before leaving.

Absolutely nothing was emoted and I was essentially mechanically killed without any chance to defend myself. As someone who's poured countless hours into my character and helping progress the main storyline of the server, I'm really frustrated by this abuse of the game's systems.

The entire scene has ultimately been voided due to a lack of emotes and the specific circumstances (i.e. Henry supposedly placing 7 pipe bombs underneath Crystal's chair that were not mechanically visible, outwardly admitting he did not intend to give Crystal a chance to emote/survive, etc.) It was not fair for anyone involved and is the equivalent of KOS.

If Seryei attempts to redo the scene without the approval of all involved parties and an admin GMing it, he'll be warned.
