The Nether

[Minerdomera]

I've been thinking lately about the current state of the nether. Many of you may remember when zombie pigmen were accidentally disabled, leading to the ghasts spawning and then nether becoming, well, this:

This isn't all though. Some of you may have also noticed that all nether forts in OC and NC nether are also broken, not spawning blazes or wither skeletons since 1.6.4. So I propose a question: Should we get a new nether for Old and New Continent? Vote and leave your thoughts here.

[Ostricho]

Agreed. The Nether has gotten to a detestable state, and is really just plain ugly. Plus, we can fix the spawns for fortresses, and heck, get new fortresses altogether. I vote yes.

Time to clear out my farm then... Though, I still vote nay.

I say no... Not that many people actually spend much time in the nether so they dont really care about what it looks like. After pigman came back, I placed about 10,000 netherrack to make the area around my portal base look nice. If people really care about the nether they could do that for their part. I use the nether to get basically everywhere i need to go thats not near a waypoint, via paths that I or SilEsper have built. Blazes/withers spawn fine in pandora. If we got a new nether, It would also get to look very ugly soon because of people mining netherquartz away creating similar craters that are only different because they arent on fire.
And finally, the netherrail. An enormous amount of work and supplies has gone into this and it is helpful for anyone trying to get around the nether.

NOOOOOOO than i wont have a way to get to my old base + SilEsper spend hours and hours building a nether hub in oc nc and pandore and you wanne remove it ? Don't.... Maybe make it if ya see a wrecked area ask a mod to revert it to a nicer area?

Copy + paste ? Its goes to alot of places the hub its streched out over a massive area it would mean there would be old nether parts in the new nether lol

Yes, you're right, the nether has a ton of problems, but re-setting it will not fix these problems.

-All the glowstone and random parts of nether fortresses have been mined by noobs who don't know how to use /mine nether
-Ghast holes everywhere

Noobs will still take the glowstone because they be noobs, only they will take the quartz also so more random holes in the ground.
Ghasts will still fire and make random holes and fire everywhere. Maybe just a bit slower.

I have spent a couple of hundred hours building cool stuff in the nether, most people don't but lets face it, the people who would build in there already have and I for one do not want all my work gone.
Hell, I'm not even close to the amount of time and lives spent working in that hellhole that SilEsper had done.

Re-setting the nether would make a few people happy, mostly people who have not built already and have no intent of ever building there anyway. It would make people who have put in the hours get their jimmies rustled people like CombatWaffles, Me, SilEsper, Crusierman, Ace1craft and many more.

Zerg has done a great job making just very few people mad with the updates/changes he does, I don't know how he does it but I don't think he will be doing anything like this any time soon.

How about the broken Wither/blaze spawning?
