Gate to Heavens

A Korean MMORPG Revival

What is GoGTH?

Gate to Heavens was a Korean MMORPG originally released in 2003. GoGTH is a passion project to restore and revive the game by rebuilding the entire server infrastructure from scratch in Go, while keeping full compatibility with the original DirectX client. The result is a modern, performant server running a classic retro MMO experience.

Open Alpha

The server is currently in open alpha. Anyone can download the launcher, create an account (accounts are auto-created on first login), and start playing. Features are being added and refined continuously.
