the current border is 200k by 200k and extends up to 100k in each direction from spawn. In the overworld this ok in size but the problem comes from the nether. the accessible nether by a portal is only 25k by 25k and stretches by 12.5k from spawn in al directions. as mentioned in cellexya's blaze grinder thread that some fortresses are up to 1k by 1k and considering the whole thing is only 25k by 25k makes these fortresses into hotspots to get blaze rods for potions. This turns the limited number of fortresses into hotspots for blaze grinders. Cell is very cautious and destroys their portal when shes done with it, but nether travel requires a network of pathways to get around whether its building across a lava pit or drilling into a mountain. We cannot fill up every mountain pass create (destroying bridges are ez) and we all have to admit, there are always some sneaky hackers out there which are extremely sneaky and aren't caught in time before they x-ray a base, or even if they have a garbage set up like me and the chunk doesn't load allowing them to find paths. This threatens the security as the person can estimate the position which one came out of the destroyed portal and then walk around for 2k or so and find their base. also for an above ground base if you think about it going to 80k or so isn't actually very safe.

LAG: I fear that some may be concerned with the possible increment of lag, this probs wont happen as only the chunks that players are in are being loaded and as far as I know we aren't even close to tipping the 88 player limit. However this will mean that crafty will need more storage space to store the world.

staff: please let the players think about this and their opinion on this before you make a sudden decision, as players might have a different opinion that what you think.

travel; but how do I get to (I recommend 2 mill x 2mill or 1mill from spawn) blocks out?
a: nether roof, some servers ban nether roof but its available to us.

edit: The reason I left crafty is because of the world border, and even though I don't mind reset that much a little but cuz of the world reset(only a little for world reset)

@PapaNeon the point was that our bases were so unexpectedly close toghether not that we had found their base or how they found their base

also, people here build massive bases with things that go to sky limit, a simple dragon egg is too easy to be hidden

What relevance does a coincidence have ?

@PurpleMare Hello all, i have a couple of quick questions related to what was discussed in the thread. They are kind of noobish questions, so my apologies to the staff if they have already been asked.

1. From your experience in the nether, about how many blocks from spawn must you travel to start seeing basic nether resources, such as nether quartz and glow stone?
2. Are the methods you mentioned here on the thread such as enderpearling to the roof and then traveling along the nether roof available to all players, or only those who have purchased VIP or VIP+?

Thank you for your time and i hope to hear back from you shortly!

I generally dont travel the nether, so i wouldn't be sure, but generally if you random tp out and enter the nether you should see some basic resources. If all else going past about 25k in the overworld and building a nether portal there would be good for resources.
The nether roof is available to all players, no matter the rank. The only thing that Vip and vip + have over normal players is that they are able to tp up to it via the warps that they have. You can always enderpearl up or use other methods to get up or just ask a vip member to get you a tpa up to it ^-^
