I propose to clear up confusion... (and read this knowing that tongue is firmly planted in cheek)
that the Underworld (accessible when we have favor and for a fee) continue to be called Underworld in the forums.
The "new" UW *cringe* be called Tombs. *duh*
It's not REALLY the UW... the first map happens to be the PvP UW-like map!!
Gah!!

Petition :: UW vs. "new" UW

Valerius
it's annoying yeah... but overtime players will get used to calling the "old" UW = Underworld and the "new" UW = ToPK... and for that matter... the "old" ToPK = HA

I've heard people calling Tombs (new UW) "the black hole"
Splatter Mcnasty
when chatting with my guildmates, I refer to them as UW1 and UW2 (UW2 being the new PvE tombs).

Tombs is the word I use to describe the new PvE area. I absolutely H A T E the term "new UW." If one thing in the game makes the term "n00b" pop into my head, it is the phrase "new UW."

To preface what i'm about to say, I would like to point out that it is a big pet peeve of mine too to hear it called "The New Underworld" ... however i'm going to play devil's advocate here for a second 
I think there are several reasons why people refer to it as such:
1) Most obvious, the first map you enter is called "The Underworld"
2) There are critters that mess up 55 monks with rend enchantments
3) Ectos drop there
4) It does have an underworld-ish "feel" to it with the smite-colored ghostly riders, and demons and such ...
That being said: yes it's still stupid it's called "The New Underworld", but not totally off-base.
I say (as some other posters have) we call the Underworld "The Underworld" or "UW", Tombs "Tombs", and "The New Tombs" (also annoying to hear) "Hero's Audience" or "HA"
EDIT: Whoops, need another cup of coffee. Heroes' Ascent it is. Give me a break, i'm at work.

If we do a petition on that then we should have a petition where we call armor its original dev placed name:
droks armor=Tyrian armor, 15k armor= Ascended sets, FoW= Obsidian sets
/signed

So, if you play the game as it was designed/developed then Droknars is Ascended armor.

Mainly UW is called UW...(sometimes old UW). Tombs one is called new UW.

it's NOT the "new" UW.

Maybe we should just drop the names and use acronyms:
Underworld = UW
New Underworold = NUW
Personally, I think 'Black Hole' is a good name, since the entrance is a pretty cool portal.
Can we change the petition for calling the 4 stage green run, 'Black Hole'? ^_^

In short, i'll go and get some more coffee ... carry on.

How about we call it something along the lines of the Black beast????just an example. Hence if you look at the entrance, from a wide screen view, You will notice the black arms that are pushing out though the tomb and the gate is like a Pink eyeball. (Sort of Octopuss like ) So it would be refered to as "BB" instead of the dreaded "NEW UW".
Or we can just call it "Nub UW" for all of the many inexperienced players that show up and claim they can run what ever build that they have seen being spamed for invites. Thus resulting in not even getting pass the first level without that character/toon causing chaos for the rest of the party.......

Why not call it Darkness' Lair?

Sorry to get anal here, but Tombs is and always has been in the UW. Its not like the entire place got moved. So, New Underworld? So there's 2 underworlds? I thought it was one huge realm and the entrances from Crystal Desert and Temple of the Ages took you to a different part of this massive place. New Underworld sounds stupid.
/signed on calling it "Black Hole" or leaving it as "Tombs"

how about just calling it NUW (new underworld) and it also sounds like new
saphir
like another in this thread, i just call it "tombs uw" which usually prevents any confusion w/ referring to either the old uw or old tombs =)

I call in TUW (Tombs UnderWorld)

I call it ruins of the tomb of primeval kings..

It's tombs thanks. UW is just first level title anyway.
Rayne Nightfyre
We(my guild) always refer to the new PvE area as "Tombs." Underworld is just the name of the first zone there, there's also Scarred Earth, The Courtyard, and Hall of Heroes. That's no reason to call it "new UW." The old Tombs/HoH is now "HA." So the Underworld accessed from the Temple of the Ages should remain "UW."
Kook~NBK~
The place known as "Tomb of the Primeval Kings" before the update is STILL THE SAME PLACE!
So call it what it is!
