The Game

Gate to Heavens is a 2003 fantasy MMORPG, rebuilt from scratch in Go. Four classes, 98 levels, and 23 worlds from the starting fields out to the Laznan dungeon floors and the Land of Ordeal.

Both editions below share that world, those classes and that 98-level climb. What differs is the presentation and what has been built on top.

Gate to Heavens

A modern remake of the original game: the same world with a rebuilt interface and new systems on top, and where new work lands first. It is a development server rather than a finished game, and there is no release of it to run yourself. What that means.

It is not running publicly at the moment.

Gate to Heavens Classic

The original game in its original presentation: the interface as it was, the original vocabulary, the original content.

We are not running a public Classic server at the moment, but you can run your own. Classic is the edition you can download: what is in it.

Self-Hosting

Classic is the edition with a release. It is the same kind of self-contained archive as the RF servers, so the setup documentation applies unchanged. The one difference is that the client is in the archive, so there is no client to find separately.

Modern has no release and no date for one. If what you want today is a server you can run, it is Classic.

Something here wrong?

Out of date, incomplete, or assuming something it should not. Documentation errors are bugs, and this one arrives tagged and pointed at this page.
