This is a bad idea and will negatively effect active players. Lets say that you have an island with a mob trap and a person moves in next to you and builds a mob trap. The rates will be very slow and lag will increase because the active player can't kill the mobs on the other island 1. Being online around an inactive player can cause mobs to spawn on their island. Decreasing your mob rate. 2. Many people come on and lava grief their island never to be heard from again. This sucks when your actually trying to design a nice looking island. 3. ^ These lava griefs to the void cause lag. Which affects your spawn rates and fps 4. Having an active neighbor can load your chunks as well. Great for your farms and traps if setup correctly. This is a great idea and should be done.
