Seen it on another server and it seemed ok.

Having to type /go mine would send you there where it was a smaller world then the main world where one could mine up dirt/ores. The mining world could be wiped once a week/ 2weeks etc...

/go main Would send you back to the normal world where you can build normally but mining up dirt/ores wouldnt give drops. Although trees and farming still works fine.

Lag was also alot more bearable too on both sides.

I can see one flaw with this. If the mining world would be wiped that often, resources would exceed demand forcing prices lower then ever. With the increase of ores etc prices would have no choice but drop - creating a problem around the whole selling items on Minerealm.

Maybe a wipe every 5 months.

This.
Also:
I don't really see how this could get rid of lag, care to explain?

Besides, MineRealm is a survival server, this is a bit too far from survival for my tastes...

I'm not very fond of the idea. Why bother with that when you can mine in the normal world? And that's heading toward a creative server with unlimited resources. And as already pointed out, the virtual economy set in place would go to pot, as prices would continue to fall with increasing supply. Even more so, people would begin to stop buying because they would have those resources readily available.

I smell a bit of chocolate cake. Also, Eah is right.

The huge ones are problems. What's point in finding Diamonds in the main world or anything if you can't mine them? Also, it would be crowded and the lag will probably be worse.

WE ARE CHOCOLATEY ENOUGH. We're practically doing a sexy dance nude while having chocolate sauce dripped all over us. Kinda.

[FaeynHeart]

I don't like it. It seems unnecessary. No one is complaining about a lack of ores save for glowstone.

[jtcanon]

Quit using the word chocolatey, considering you all voted to have a less vanilla server with room for changes. As per the subject, I do believe that this is unnecessary, and rather contradicting to our goals.

QFT

I could see a mining world being needed in something like 2-3 years if we stay on the same map for the whole time. Otherwise, even with so many people mining, I just can't see resources becoming rare except for glowstone and other high rarity items that are easy to find, which is a category that includes glowstone and portals to the end. And that is all it includes.
