So I promised it would be this weekend. Here we are the new Nether Hub is now open.

Intro

So far only phase 1 is opening, other phases of the hub will open very soon. Phase one is a large hall on the nether roads near Liberty. It should provide people with a place to meet, do trade, hold court etc. A big hall where people can congregate.

The goal of the hub is to provide the nether roads with a focal point and a hub for the road builder to operate out of. I am sure in the future it will expand to provide other functions.

Rules

The hub has some rules. These rules are repeated on the walls of the hub

1. No placing chests in the nether hub. Chest placed will be removed
2. No placing shops in the nether hub. Shops can be rented from hpoom
3. Signs can only be placed on the message board. All other signs will be removed. Advertisement space can be rented from hpoom. Any ads on the message board will be removed.

The roads have become litters with random chests and graffiti. I do not want the same thing happening with the hub. I see the hub as a home for the Road Builders, one we allow all to access. You would not break the walls of somebody's home or place chests in it, so please don't do this in the hub. Also it goes without saying no griefing.

Business

So as I have already said ad signs can be rented, they are 1i per week per sign. To start with will be a minimum 2 week rental period due to a vacation I have planned. Also you can place early interest in shop chests coming in phase 2. All money collected from the hub will be pumped back into the Nether Hub and the Nether Roads. This is not a profit make exercise.

Future

Phase 2: will be an expansion upstairs, almost finished, which will provide a limited number of shop chests to rent. It will also have the Nether Road Donation chests relocated to there and will also have free food (melons). I am looking for other suggestions for phase 2.

Phase 3: will be to rework the roads that enter the hub. I plan to have the roads join the hub better, I also plan to rework Liberty's portal.

Phase 4: will be an expansion downstairs to include a public blaze grinder and a free tree farm. I may also incorporate a park.

Phase 5: who knows..... Suggestions welcomed.
