Gate opener

Gate Monkey is a term used in Pre-Searing Ascalon to refer to a player character who assists another player by opening the gate to The Northlands, and then mapping out to allow the other player to work the Northlands alone. Such service is of particular importance to players farming Charr Bags, Charr Salvage Kits, or working on the Legendary Defender of Ascalon title. As such, it is common to provide this service for tips or a nominal fee.

Another type of gate opening servicefor Pre-Searing Ascalon is provided by the PSCGO, or Pre-Sear Community Gate Opener. The service is free and generally is a "pay it forward" type of service - if you have help from a PSCGO, you should then spend at least some time offering your services as a PSCGO yourself.

The PSCGO is NOT a MONKEY! All one needs to do to get a PSCGO to help you is to stand near the exit from Ascalon City and type in the local chat: "LF PSCGO". A knowledgeable PSCGO (if available) will offer to join up with you, and you can go out together. If one is offering their services as a PSCGO, one can stand near the exit from Ascalon City and announce in the local chat: "Offering PSCGO".

The PSCGO service is free and offered in the spirit of friendly cooperation. As no one usually has to pay anyone to get the resurrection signet, no one should have to pay someone to get the Northern gate open.
