A character sent down there will be stuck for a period of OOC time - say, some three months, which is a lot - before the next time they die they will respawn at the Nexus like usual. In addition, a minimum number of words would be required to be written in the Underverse so your character actually suffers a bit.
EDIT: To the above point I should say that that period of time should be in addition to the option of going through Diablo, not a replacement. Some people may want to get out early or be content with going through Diablo through any means.
Personally, I cannot stand behind this idea. That would be making it even more of an OOC punishment than it already is in my opinion. That would mostly mean that you'd be locked out of your own personal storylines for even longer, than you originally intended.
Because for example I myself think, that I'd be able to get out of the Underverse in a week or two, should I find the motivation for it, even though it'd likely end up screwing with the alignment of my character in a way that I don't desire. Then again, it has been pointed out in this thread, that maybe we did indeed view it a bit too black and white. But still, it's a case of lack of information, that leads at least myself, to expect the worst outcomes, as they would be "logical" for such a place, in my mind at least.
EDIT: Clarification has been added to Yana's post, so my point is now moot.
