If this isn't some evil, nasty trick.. then great find!! Is this a new underworld, or the old one?

Just a Temple to Grenth in Cantha. Show the screen of Grenth requiring 1k togo to the UW.

Ive seen that staue, I think it is to close to starter area to be the entrance. I belive Gaile has said Cantha will have its OWN High level areas like UW and FoW. Makes sence since it can be standalone.

I'm pretty sure I heard somewhere, sometime, possibly, that UW, FoW, etc will be shared across the game(s). They do worship the same gods, after all.

In that case, thought, we still need are realms for Melandru, Dwayna, and Lyssa.

That statue gives bonuses if you kneel in front of it. The wraith is what you talk to and you can buy morale up to 10% and the other buffs only last 20 minutes. Thing is by the time you get to one of these statues there's not much left of the zone to need the buffs lol.

It is your standard statue that you can trade money to for services. In this case this statue has the standard two (I forget the names) that give health regen and +2% moral boost/per payment.

It does include some other services that I have not seen before and appear to be profession based. I don't remember the exact wording but it was something along the lines of "For 20 minutes you gain 20% chance of +1 skill increase in {enter attribute type here}".

One thing that did appear different (though I did not test it much) was that it provides the service only to the person that paid for the service. I believe in Prophecies the moral boost was party wide but I could be wrong.

Almost every map has a shrine or two. They don't allow you to enter UW or any other area. The kneel emote will raise the spirit and allow you to purchase various enhanements for the entire party.

There are Grenth/Balthazar statues in Zin Ku Corridor which actually do take you to UW/FoW, along with some other ones (Lyssa, Melandru) which seem inactive right now, just like in ToA.

My friend and I stumbled upon the same thing during the FPE by using /sigh after we had died doing some quest. I think it might be nearly any emote, but those two at least work.
Also, I'm pretty sure they stick to whom ever purchased them, not the whole party. For instance the raise dp by 2% doesnt apply to everyone, just the purchaser.

I never thought to try any other emotes. And all my experience is with hench only, so I just assumed many were party wide.

Nice Try... Not Portal though. In the undercity has a similar res shrine that grants bonuses for nations with favor. Thus far i have found all the res shrine types with the voices popping out, Balths, Grenths, Melandrue, and the 3rd I cant think of at the moment... but no UW entrances...

A couple places i have noticed have "special areas" one under the imperial palace behind a grated door is a glowing box... Not sure what that is...

You guys do know that the Zin Ku Corridor is the place where the UW and FoW are accessable from Cantha. You didn't really think that Anet would be that mean as to lock Factions players out from the UW did you?

Of course the UW and FoW are only accessible when your respective country has favor.

Sry I don't have screens but someone else can verify.

Sry I don't have screens but someone else can verify. This is absolutely true.

They statues are slightly out of the way though and I missed them on my first few visits there.

I am always suprised how few people are there forming FoW or UW teams though.

Perhaps people really dont know that you can get into FoW and UW from there?

Yup, as far as I know you can get to these locations from the temple area at the very west end of the Zin Ku Corridor, the outpost you reach after the Tahnnakai Temple mission.

You can access UW in Zin Ku Corridor (I think that's the one, the one after Tahnkanai)
