≫ 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.

NPC Tiers
NPCs now have two tiers! Their tiers, current occupations, skillsets and more will be found on their given ID cards and kept with their mannequin.

Tier 1
Tier one NPCs have a relatively basic backstory and rarely, if ever hand out events. They’re mostly used for completing jobs around a settlement or exchanging goods. They mostly remain in mannequin form and have one particular skill set.


Tier 2
This tier of NPC have a more in-depth backstory and often give out events/quests. They also have more than one skill set, though aren’t as numerous as tier 1 NPCs.
