Your opinion on Undercity

Q u o t e:
What do you think of Undercity?

Personally, I think it comes off way too cartoonish to be the home of the Forsaken. I think it should look more gothic, more dark, and less "creepy frankensteins and bubbling cauldrons with skulls". I was kind of dissapointed my first time there, as I walked in through the ruins of Lordaeron, expecting a dark and evil place, only to find two ugly fat things guarding the way to Micky Mouse's haunted house down below. There is nothing scary about UC, just stock halloween themes. The green water makes it even more rediculous.

Anyway, am I the only one who feels this way?

It's one of my favorite cities. I wouldn't call the guards fat to their faces either. They look hungry.

Q u o t e:
It looks really outdated next to the new Forsaken architecture in Northrend.

I think it's time Undercity got a facelift, not a redesign, just a polish to bring it in line with the new improved look they've been given.

Humans need a facelift too, they just look silly next to the awesome Vrykul models.

Keep in mind, Undercity/Lordaeron is a human city that was taken by the Scourge that was then taken by the Forsaken and built onto. Northrend has legitimately designed Forsaken aesthetic architecture. Until Northrend, everything else was just a convenient conversion given the circumstances.

And the elevator story made me smile. :)

i.e. Notre Dame (Paris) is only one of many examples of Gothic architecture for those that are limiting their definition of what Gothic is defined as.

Q u o t e:


Don't forget the occasional leper gnome wandering around on a grand tour of the city.

I got a lot of valentines from him. XD

I still think my favorite spot is the "demon"stration area.

Q u o t e:


I completely agree. I say either return Lorderon to the Alliance or turn the place into a parking lot.

What? And pave paradise to put up a parking lot? No way.

Besides, there's a lot of history in those walls. I have said this many times in the past, but make sure your ambient sound is up and take the walkway into the throne room in the ruins slowly. Be sure to look around and down at the ground. The vestiges of the past still live on in echoes there.


I find UC to be easy to get around. It has three main circles and the outer two rings compliment each other. It's also broken into four distinct sections by NE, NW, SW, SE. I normally get lost indoors (I'm not kidding and in dungeons too.) I don't find that problem in Undercity though. ;)
