Introducing the Nether Repair Committee
How many times have you been walking through then nether and thought, man, this looks like monkey poop? Well, probably not those exact words but, you get the picture.
The nether looks horrible and it is my vision that it should be cleaned up, so that people can actually be safe when trying to travel places; i.e. not getting beat up by pigmen or fire on by ghasts.

Now this is not your everyday faction. We don't have some secret HQ in the middle of an ocean at coordinates -3221,785. All you must do in order to call yourself a Nether Repair Committee member is to fix nether grief whenever you see it and say your name in this thread. We may also have projects such as remaking the SkyCity Road etc. (by the way, that road looks horrible)

You do not have to leave your faction to help this cause. We are open to all. If you would like to join the committee, just state so in this thread.

Together, we can combat this plague to our community!

.... shut up. This is purely for the sake of the nether and is not even funded by arcane; just me.

Where is that haters gonna hate signature that Chubsy had? I suppose the nether roads got fixed by magic.

There really is no point repairing the nether. It's pretty much a desolate wasteland that serves no purpose . Besides pvp and long distance travelling, and the latter is extremely risky anyway.

I'd be happy to help the repair committee. I occasionally use the nether for quick transportation, and I could plan on bringing along stones of various sorts to clean up any road damage I find.

Yeah, it's a desolate wasteland, and it would be silly to try building a major base there, but the road systems are useful for travel... a resource worth maintaining.

Long distance travel through the nether is generally quite safe as long as you don't depend too heavily on the portals around spawn. There aren't many people in the nether at any given time (particularly since the glowstone and the majority of the netherbrick is gone), so your chances of running into a PVPer anywhere other than near the spawn city portal are pretty low. The danger that you DO run into quite often is there largely as a result of the damage to the nether that this new committee is trying to address (e.g. holes in sky-roads that drop you into lava, fires burning all over the place, broken walls that let pigmen into the roads).

I travel the nether on a daily basis. I use all of the different types of tunnels, bridges, and paths. I am completely safe from basic threats with little effort. I don't see the point of the OP.

For a experienced player, I realize that it is indeed easy to traverse the nether. I myself do not think it to be much of an issue. However, I cannot count the number of times I have seen "-new player- was slain by zombie pigman". For someone who is trying to find public land and is just starting out with probably only melons, it is very difficult to go anywhere in the nether without getting mobbed and killed by pigmen. Also, from an aesthetic view, nether rack looks absolutely repulsive and I think that nice looking roads would benefit everyone.

I can donate a near double chestful of netherrack. I'd also volunteer, except my lag in the nether is so bad I'd disconnect 5 times in 10 minutes. Contact me in-game for the Netherrack?

Wookz and I frequently repaired the nether. The only place that actually needs upkeep is the spawn portal and the main four roads that directly connect to it. NSEW. Not a difficult job, but it helps alot.
