Since the world size is roughly 1:20 what it should be, on many servers small biomes are rapidly discovered, looted and traversed. To make this more lore realistic, I propose a change to the Middle Earth world size. When one goes to create a Middle Earth world type, there would be a customize button like with superflat world types. When one clicks on this button one would have the option of changing the world size between 1:100, 1:50, 1:20, 1:10, 1:5, 1:1 or any other ratios the development team deems necessary. In this area there could also be the option to start in a certain biome and as a certain faction. This way, servers could have 1:1 scale worlds to be explored by all, not to mention making single player easier for players, reducing the time it takes to explore and travel.

However, this would not work if the placement of biomes is based on exact chunk locations. The placement would have to be altered into a ratio form to accomodate this.
