The nether is pointless for me because its too hard to get glowstone, as it is all the way on the top of the map, and i have to make a cobblestone tower to get up there, and then half of it falls into the lava, or I do, so i just dig dirt for glowstone and cut my losses. Also, i agree with Raza, it's better to have a server that works than a **** one with the nether.
