Concerns regarding Underverse & the questline

[Amaterasu]

The way I always saw things is that the quest is the officially documented way out of the Omniverse, but that any sufficiently compelling story would also work. For example, if I get Banished, I already have a story line in mind for my escape, and it has nothing to do with fighting in a coliseum, or being someone's lackey.

Would that work, though? I've heard people argue that the documented way is the only way. It would be nice to know before investing 20k words into something that might not apply. I know you used to be staff et al, but it would be really nice to have some kind of confirmation that this is, indeed, possible.

Proto was quite clear on this point - Arthuria's referencing the threads where he mentioned this in the first post. There is currently no way out of the Underverse that doesn't go through Diablo.
