    Hey guys! I was just wondering what you guys thought about getting nether access thus getting survivor. I have enough money for it but it was hard earned money. What do YOU guys think about getting it? Right now i have about $2,000 under 30k.

    I see a lot of these types of posts, and always will say the same thing.
    If you are willing to spend time in the nether, you can get loads of quartz and exp to sell, and can earn back your 20k rather quickly. On the other hand, pvp is enabled (I hardly see anyone get killed though), and theres always a risk of falling into lava.
    If you do get it, i would suggest moving pretty far away from spawn in order to get the most unaffected areas.

    Thanks zedo, I really like the idea of quartz but never knew about the exp. My question is should I buy mayor or survivor first?

    It depends. If you want to wait, go ahead and get survivor. It helps get mayor.

    Greetings,

    For anyone else considering it. It is a one time payment and you get permissions for life. It really is a small amount to pay, even if you don't use it too often (like me).

    I was killed within 10min of entering it for the first time, and always try to go when no one else is there. I finally made it a good distance away and set a home (I have multihome). Now I can just tp to that spot without going through spawn and haven't died a 2nd time. (After each reset I have to tp with nothing on me to make sure I don;t tp into lava.)

    20k isn't a lot what so ever but I bought and have gone in once. If you wanna get the quartz and exp then do it because its so cheap.

    I would advocate getting Survivor for the sole purpose of legitimately looting other players. I'm a bit of an unempathetic person.

    Survivor has its pros and its cons. The pros are that you can acquire a massive amount of profit IF you know where to mine. The cons are: There are a lot of trollers and such.

    Survivor is a good thing to get if you're looking to farm blazes or mine nether quartz in my opinion. PvP isn't much of a problem as you don't really run into people in the nether, especially if you are far away from spawn. I probably have died more times from lava and fire than from another player killing me in the nether.

    I have a Tip that will help you overcome falling in Lava:
    1. There is a Potion that allows you to go into any lava for 8:00 i don't know what it is called but there is a potion out there. I unfortunately done something terrible, Instead of drinking it at the start, i never drunk it, I dropped it in lava as i died. So drink it before you Go in, Also Player deaths are low in the nether so don't worry.
