Illuminati Hub IRL (lots of pics!)

Illuminati Hub IRL (lots of pics!)

I was in Brooklyn today and I decided to stop by the real location of the Illuminati hub. I thought you guys might be interested, so I took a bunch of pics to share with you.

So here we go, Templar surveillance log 010712. :3

This is the starting point that all Lumie characters spawn at after creation. As you can see, there is no laundromat. Either that or they smelled me coming and closed up (though I didn't hear any driers running).

There's also no Schiavelli Ave station. The closest station is actually York St, a few blocks south (where the first pic was taken). The arch is where the fight club would be, but the area's completely closed off. I peaked behind the fence, though; there's just a bunch of construction equipment.

Now, "following the trail of surveillance equipment" along Plymouth St. If you look closely, you can see that there actually are a few cameras along the way.

Corner of Plymouth and Pearl. There's the scaffold that players climb up for bits of lore. Ingame, the road east here is blocked by a truck and other vehicles.

Looking north up Pearl, continuing toward the Lumie base.

There's the ominous door.

Clearly no artistic Illuminati symbol. Seriously, we should hire a street artist to paint it for us.

Corner of John and Adams.

Here what's referred to ingame as "The Park". It's actually the western edge of Brooklyn Bridge Park and extends east past the ingame boundaries.

Not far in, the park actually splits into two paths. The one to the right goes down along the East River.

My guess is here's where the anima well would be. There's no fence, so the park continues on from here.

Going back and turning south, following the ingame path.

That blue container looks like the place where the Morninglight tent would be.

A view facing west along Plymouth after exiting the park. The Brooklyn Bridge is clearly visible in the distance.

View north along Adams. There's the warehouse door, behind which lies the entrance to the Agartha.

Final shot, a close-up of the door. I feel like spraying "LULZ, SECRET ENTRANCE TO AGARTHA ->" next to it. :3

wow kinda creepy now that I see it IRL, great job by the design team

Ha, this is fantastic. Well done!

I completely agree, this place should be covered in illuminati graffiti. Hopefully Funcom won't get in trouble for it.

Thanks heaps for taking the time to do this for us Vladimir.

I wonder if the owner of that building would object to a tasteful Illuminati symbol ?

Wow, just seeing those pics. I have actually seen some of those places and ones very much like it on so many of the music vids I seen. I even thought of tree music vids as I looked at them.
