How exactly do you die on the elevators to undercity again?

You stand under them, and they crush you, that's the simplest way. You can also sometimes fall through a hole in the geometry (happens on Zeppelins too) near the top, and fall to your doom (or survive, and in the intervening "WTF?" period, be crushed.

It used to be, that all you had to do, was jump while on the elevator.  Didn't really matter where.  Just jump, and you'd die.

very rarely, some kind of server lag can also occur, and the elevators can become "out of synch" with their doors, making for wonderfull deaths when you are on cruise mode, watching guild chat, and run through an open door to find no elevator platform waiting.  My server once had 2 of the 3 elevators bug out like that (worst part was the poor level 20 noob that was stuck inside one when it bugged out, and litterally couldnt get off for around 15 minutes (he finally got a summon from a warlock).


The other fun one is when you are pressed right up against the wall, and can occasionally get caught on the gometry inside the elevator shaft, which leaves you hanging in the air, and then you slip off and fall to your doom.

I'm pretty sure you can autorun into one of the smelting pools in the center and down the 'pour out' effect into the lava.   I'll have to check for certain when I get home.

Confirmed this last night.  That central pathway where you do all your smelting/ smithing work has no rails.  You can run into the lava at the smelting pools & the machinery on the east side.

That 'pressed against the elevator wall' got me once, too, Surf. Not a fun one to find.

LOL. I stand corrected. It still takes a fool to run AT the flowing/glowing lava.

During the very early days, like the first week of release, the server my guild decided to play on was one of the ones with hardware issues. We ended up rolling gnome mages ona different server for fun. All 40 of us. We had the names Gnomeone and gnometwo and so on. Anyway, at one point, I was leading the train, had about 35 gnomes on follow on eachother. We all had macros /follow gnometwo and then the next one had /follow gnomethree, so everyone would hit their macro, and we would go in to instant train. Anyway, so they are all training off me, and we are in Ironforge. I ran and jumped in to the lava, and the most amazing lemming death happened, as one at a time all the rest of them followed each other over the edge. Was great. The people in IF didnt stop talking about how funny it looked for hours.

You run for the door, and arrive while it is still closing. No matter how small the gap, if it hasn't closed fully, you'll pass the door into the shaft. The elevator starts going down as the door starts closing. The floor of the elevator will be right below you, but it drops at the same speed as a fall, so you'll only reach it a split second after it stops at the bottom. You die.

You pretty much can't do this deliberately if you try - the door closes pretty fast. But run at the elevators often enough and you'll eventually do it. Charging at enemies in the elevator will give you "an edge" in killing yourself as will rogue sprint and the druid, shaman and hunter speed buffs. Server lag will slow the door/elevator making it more probable that you'll get the fall sweet spot. During the burning man event, the number of bones at the botttom of the elevator was pretty impressive.

What burning man event?

[Merusk]

Horde Halloween was called Burning Man.
