Yo, Azeroth, business is calling!
Patch 11.1 is here and marks the biggest step for Goblins since the Cataclysm happened over 14 years ago. The Goblin capital is as old as Warcraft itself, and it’s never been a better time to jump into Goblin roleplay.
The Undermine community has been growing steadily in the background since the reveal last November, and now the patch has launched we can chit-chat about it publicly without spoilers!
Just like the subterranean city itself, the Undermine community connects Goblin characters throughout Azeroth with their mutual love for innovation, adventure and explosives. Characters new and old are invited to join and make their mark in the community, with channels dedicated to sharing stories, RP events, and chat all things Goblin.
The Roleplay
Casual RP is the heart of any city and new lore offers every Goblin the opportunity of some dramatic moments, difficult decisions, or just a relaxing drink at the Incontinental Hotel. As the nexus of the Goblins’ trade empire, Guilds and merchants are encouraged network, find customers (or rivals) to collaborate and compete with.
The Liberation of Undermine is the first of many public storylines on offer, linking directly to the narrative of Patch 11.1 as a way for your character to say they’ve played their part in the revolution in a lore-friendly way. The campaign revolves around discovering the extent of the Darkfuse Company’s influence, and teaming up with unlikely allies to fight your way up the payroll. For loot and liberation!
Azeroth Beyond is only a rocket drill, submarine or teleporter away, making Undermine more accessible than ever before. While much of the roleplay on offer takes full advantage of the fantastic new zone and its dozen empty houses, events and plotlines will regularly involve adventures topside.
An Evergreen Undermine is the long-term plan. This isn’t some Kaja-cola inspired, spur-of-the-moment idea after all! The great advantage of Goblin RP is that, no matter Azeroth’s situation, if there’s a profit to be made; there’s a Goblin to make it. Undermine be a cornerstone of Goblin RP for years to come, ensuring that Azeroth continues to see the influence of its favourite blast-resistant maniacs even as Midnight overruns the planet with Elves.
When you join Undermine, there are four* cosmetic ranks to claim as you see fit; Bilgewater, Steamwheedle, Blackwater or Venture Co. Each have a dedicated corner of the community to serve their business interests and vie for power in the eternal Trade War. Does your Goblin pledge fealty to one cartel, or sell their loyalty to the highest bidder?
*Further Cartel affiliations may become available as in-game lore develops. Yes, we’re looking at you Darkfuse Solutions.
Out of Character
The community thrives on collaboration, where every character has a voice. We value the lore given to Azeroth’s brightest engineers and strive to maintain the same rules and friendly atmosphere we’ve all come to expect from in-game communities, free of politics or drama. When joining Undermine, you will find yourself among friends in the Goblin RP community.
F.A.Q
My character works for a cartel but isn’t a Goblin, can I still join Undermine?
Yes! Especially with the likes of the Venture Co. and Blackwater, non-Goblin employees have strong representation in the cartels’ lore and are more than welcome to join.Can I join if my character is a visitor to Undermine, or just so I can stay in the loop OOC?
Also yes! The community and its events/storylines may revolve around all things Goblin, but Undermine’s tourism is alive and well. Grab yourself the Visitor role and enjoy regular updates from the city below the surface!
Where ever your adventures take you, there is now a little bit of home – a little bit of Undermine – there for your character to return to.
