First off the lag it would cause. Normally we have around 50 people on the server at most points in time. Now imagine that at least half of these people are in the mining world. Even if only ten of these are it's still a horrible thing to think about. Now imagine that all of these people have bought many amounts of both sand and gunpowder (Which is incredibly easy to do, because everyone sells it. TNT at the moment isn't useful, so who wants to make it?)

Within an hour these people could set off incredible amounts of TNT all by themselves. And we all know that most people don't really care to do it one by one. They'd set a large amount of TNT and let it all go off at once. Now imagine multiple people at various times in the same few minutes doing it. See where I'm getting at this?

Now multiply this just few minutes by a full month. The mining world would hardly have anything left in it. It would probably not even last a week. Now that the border's so small and it only opens up slowly that means that the small amount of what's in the mining world would be blown up quickly, and every time more opens up the TNTers could quickly go and TNT up that area as well.

Let's move onto another horrible topic to consider. Griefers. We all know what amounts they go to to enjoy themselves. Now let's imagine them realizing that they can actually use TNT and blow up things in the mining world, not just player damage. Let's say a griefer has set a huge amount of TNT to go off around mining spawn, and they watch for new players to wander off. What happens next? BOOM. Players dying. Not exactly something we want.

And that's not even to mention those people that would use it just to kill the server. We've seen the lengths people will go to to cause issues. The spammers are nothing compared to people who realize that they can use a ton of TNT to destroy a large space at one time. Good griefers are known to wait and enter the culture before really causing a massive grief, so they'd wait their time before suddenly letting off so much TNT they could actually crash the server.

We've already experienced the server being lagged so much it crashed, back with OakHaven. The admins had to deal with the crashing and the lag and they were very upset by it. I wouldn't want this kind of thing to happen again, especially since it could be repeated multiple times by different people at various times.

Now... What's the next milestone

Each day I am going to post a new proverb that helps keep me and other people motivated.

Here is the one for today I guess well its 12:35am so yeah today.
