I'll check out those sections once I get a chance.It's strange; all of these years I've used the gatetown portals, I never thought about how the gate works going from the plane back to the gatetown. So I never realized that it is rarely ever described even though every gatetown gate is a 2-way portal. So now I find myself contemplating how it works getting back to the gatetown when the portal is unusual.Like, the Excelsior gate drops you from 20 feet over the Silver Sea of Mt. Celestia. So how do you use it to get back to Excelsior? I just assume it is a visible portal floating in the air and you would have to fly up or use some other means to get 20-ft above the water.Then there is the gate from Tradegate to Bytopia. If making a trade with Master Trader is the gate, then how do you get back to Tradegate from Bytopia if Master Trader is the gate?Of course I can come up with my own assumptions for this (maybe Master Trader exists in two places at once), but you'd think if the gate operated differently going back, that it would be explained. I guess the writers didn't think about that when they came up with these clever gates. I didn't even think about that when I was using the gates in game! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
