How is he going to prevent people hellgating through walls? I don't want to spend time building an impenetrable wall and then putting an ownership flag on the whole area so no one can break my blocks, only to have someone appear out of nowhere inside!
I now approve of hell world. The thing is that portals will probably be rare or expensive, I wouldn't worry about people breaking in all the time, though if someone spends the time to use hell world to get into your castle, then they worked for it. I'd still fight them but I'd respect the effort, haha! Also, we'd need to make sure that op's are preventing portals from being hacked in.

However, I'm not sure how the terrain generator works... Can it handle noncontiguous chunks?
And so my dreams of building a bio-dome in hell have been crushed
Calzoneman: Word!
...Why? Notch has said you can build there.
Sounds like he solved all the technical problems he was having
