So, it's looking like not such a good idea, mainly b/c nether. Not sure about rail lines either.

If I do this, the tax will only be in place when I'm online. When I'm offline, there would be open gates to pass through.

But still - if I get a Big Wall - when I'm online I could charge 1k per crossing. 20 realm wall = 223 crossovers to compensate. With this map (maybe) being permanent, that could happen.

I want to bring up the rail line issue. People say "no one uses space at that y level" But what if I do?

I think it would be your job to make the rail go around it.

Well yeah, not that hard. I buy the realm with the rail through it, build a piston gate, hidden lever.

Before I log off: gate open.

Log on: gate closed.

...

Someone wants through. Sign tells them /msg laserminer i want in, I head over there, wait for credit transfer, and pull lever. Detector rail on the other side lights a torch telling me when they've crossed and I close gate.

I may even do it just one way. Modifying the rail isn't new; other people have made 500m detours. This is quicker than that.
