We at Ceteri are busy cleaning up the Nether by restoring some of the roads, expanding them and making them more pleasing to the eye. However, we want to do more than that. Apart from the Phoenix, this seems to be our most ambition project to date.

What we are proposing is an actual city in the Nether. A protected, player run, player dominated city. We already have a general plan and a location in mind, and I'm sure there are enough supplies to begin construction. However, what we are lacking thus far is the cooperation and approval of the more active Nether residents.

Ideally, the city will act as a hub and trading center of sorts. The city would be monitored by the players who would keep an eye out for griefers and thieves. Any major griefing (TNT and lava) would have to be handled by the Mods however (rollbacks and the like). But with any luck, this would not be an issue.

The general shape of the city would be, well, vertical. The idea is to stretch it from the the lava lake up to the top layer of Bedrock and have the city inside, connected by walkways. At the very bottom would be an arena with shops and apartments and the like suspended from the walls above. The Nether Roads would enter the city from whatever height they may be at and would, hopefully, create a very interesting look.

The plan isn't perfect, but it's something we would like to do for the server, and we would appreciate the help in making this a reality.

Ideally, should we get the city built, we could see about trying to convince Intelli to make the city the only "protected" area in the Nether, much like Spawn City (Nobody owns it but nobody can mess with it).

+1 it would be fun, however.... i really think all the construction ATM just ATM should stop... due to the nether wipe coming... but restart once the nether is wiped... it would save you guys a ton in resources.

From what I've heard, the Nether is not getting wiped, just expanded. I could very well be wrong, bit I've yet to hear anything from Intelli about it thus far.

No, intelli confirmed a FULL nether wipe.

Fair enough. We'll just have to scout locations after the wipe then.

What we need is a 50x50 space (or larger) with mostly unobstructed access from the lava lake at the bottom to the ceiling. Don't wanna do too much digging.

Whilst I was reading, I couldn't help but notice that your group name was Ceteri

Is that any reference to the Latin meaning: 'the others'?

This does sound like an interesting project. I will gladely help with it after the nether wipe.

I would live there maybe... I like the Nether.

Well there is gonna be quite a few things that need doing after the Nether Wipe.

1. Locate the "main" portals.
2. Begin construction on a new, permanent Nether Road.
3. During construction, scout out locations for Dis.
4. Begin construction on Dis.

Yes.

Also, +5 friendship points to those who get the city name reference.
