≫ 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.

Hey, Sam Maxwell! My name is Pika and I'll be reviewing your application today.

Before we can go any further with the application process, I need to address the most glaring issue: You haven't read the lore. It's incredibly important that you've done so. If you haven't read the lore, you'll be lost upon joining the server. The most important point to note is that we are currently 14 years into the apocalypse Sam could have either been 25 at the start and is now 38/39, or he could have been 10/11 at the start. If you do go with him having been 25, know that 25 is the age at which someone normally starts medical school. Most don't become independent physicians until their early thirties. You can read the lore here.

Once you've made those additions, just reply to bump the thread and we can continue with the application process. Thanks!

It still isn't incredibly clear that you've read the lore. You say you missed that part, but the lore starts off by saying we're 13, now 14, years into the apocalypse. Could you expand more on Sam's biography to elaborate on what he's done over the past 14 years? That's a few long time. There's a lot of things a person could have done in that timespan. You don't need to add much, I just need to be confident that you've actually read the lore.

Bump the thread again once you've done that and I'll take another look!
