I love UM and always have, but have only recently got the chance to go in and actually use it...........as a PC.
I agree that the 3.5E version is no comparison to the AD&D version, but that is what our DM is taking us through, and let me tell you even this version is good, especially if you know a little about the place as there are lots of easter-eggs.
I have am currently level 10 and on my third character. We lost 3 PCs just last session, so it is brutal.
I think UM would make a great community project; each person in the thread makes/designs/maps a 4E or 3.5E Undermountain room/area/encounter and in no time we would have the whole dungeon mapped out for both sets of games. We could use the first level as a template because WoTC put the map up for free on their website as part of their last articles on UM just before the 3.5E supplement came out.
