≫ 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.

Heya, MarquisAesir! My name is Pika, and I'll be reviewing your application today.

Before we can go any further, I need to address the most glaring issue: You haven't read the lore. That's evident by the mention of Maxwell having attended college. He's 28 and we're 12 years into the apocalypse, so he would have been 16 when it started. Please give the lore a read-through here, then rewrite your biography to reflect it.

Reply to bump the thread once you've made those changes, and we can continue with the application process. Thanks!

I linked it in my message, but it's difficult to differentiate hyperlinks from normal text on the forums. I'll have to take a look at that. Here's the link itself:

You still haven't read the lore. Maxwell's biography conflicts even more than it did before. This lore takes place 12 years after the apocalypse in Monroe County, New York. That's up near Rochester, very far upstate. His age also doesn't reflect his biography if he moved to Kentucky in the 1970s.

Everything you have currently can work. He can be from Kentucky. Just be sure to include how he got to be in New York and a general summary of how he's fared for the past 12 years.

Once you're done with that, reply to bump the thread again and I'll take another look. Thanks!

Sorry but what year did the apocalypse start and what year is it currently in game that is very unclear to me.

Hi again! Due to inactivity, I'm going to have to deny your application.

You're free to apply again with the same character if you'd like. Thanks!
