Gate opener

The term gate opener is used in Pre-Searing Ascalon to refer to a player character who assists another player in getting to The Northlands by opening the gate for them.

Both parties agree on a price before leaving Ascalon. The service may be free, performed for tips, or a small fee that is usually advertised. A usual fee for the service is 50.

The gate opener travels as fast as possible to the gate in the wall and operates the lever. The client then goes through the first gate. As the client arrives below the lever, he can open trade and pay the fee (if any) to the gate opener above. This allows the gate opener to map back to Ascalon without delay because the client can reach the Northland portal even if the second gate is closed.
