≫ 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.

What's Next?

Tonight, we ended our current lore, The Lone Star. We know that this is sudden, but a number of circumstances led to us making this decision. Mainly, a lack of interest from players and admins alike. The Lone Star was never meant to be anything big—just a generic sandbox lore to help the admin team get their footing. Nevertheless, it's still disappointing to end a lore early. We hope that you all had fun, though! Your stories may not have been able to be played out fully, but knowing that many players enjoyed the lore immensely is enough for us.

Now, the big question: what's next?

Everyone is waiting for the animations update. That most likely plays a big part in the lack of activity on the server. Therefore, we won't be running another full-length lore until the update's stable build has been released. Until then, we'll be running a mini lore! This lore will run shorter than your typical lore (1-2 months vs. 3+) and will be focused on a concrete story. We'll be releasing more news on the mini lore as we solidify the story. Expect applications to go live within the next week or two.

Looking at the results of our recent poll, supernatural and six-years-in won by a landslide. After some consideration, we've decided to combine both ideas for our next full-length lore! We'll be releasing more information on that as well in the coming weeks. It's still a very large WIP, but it's going to be big. We expect to launch it as soon as the stable animations build drops!

As always, thank you for sticking with us! We hope you'll all enjoy what we have in store for you!

On the mini lore, could the applications be changed up a bit to not be so lengthy? On the last mini lore we loosened up the application process since it wouldn't last very long, figure you guys could do the same here.

Yeah, I don't see why not!
