Since alternate planes are going to be added, there could be dead planes. A dead plane would be a dead world. They would have different reasons as to why they "died". they might still even contain some rare inhabitants but society as a whole no longer exists there. They would have a short history that might describe their fall. I'l give you a few examples.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

As you wander through the ruins of a city in a dead, eternally dark world you find a temple. You enter and discover a library. It contains a many books but one in particular catches your eye. It is the history codex of the world. You read it.  It seems to be written in a language that all creatures understand.

The fall of Grahan - The world of the Dark Sun

Grahan used to be a grand world with 6 moons. An eclipse occurred every day. The land had many peaceful and happy nations and it had not seen war since the age of Huran the Sea god.

In 104 of the age of Gomez, a great wizard named Halamar led an army into battle against the plane demon Garancha. The latter escaped unscathed but Halamar was left blind for the rest of his life. The people criticized him for his foolish attempts. The made Halamar go mad with anger. He seeked out a way to Darken the sun and caused the world to drop into everlasting darkness.

Many people died thereafter. Some dug deep into the earth to find refuge from the cold. And some left in search of other worlds.

Halamar was banished into everlasting torment. To this day he remains chained in the prison of his own twisted mind. Let no man ever free him or he shall bring death to all that he finds.

So what does this ad to the game? Well, instantly you get a whole other plane to visit. Its filled with tons of procedurally genned creatures and trees. It might even have a half dead settlement somewhere. This also means that there is a guy named Halamar who is trapped somewhere. This might imply that someone or something might try and free him. We also learned that there is this Plane Demon named Garancha who escaped somwhere. The world might have to  be smaller. Like... A LOT smaller that usual worlds, but it would  still be fun to explore. It also means that the same fate that befell this world might occur in yours(Ie,the secret that Halamar used might still be out there).

Just an aesthetic thing. Nobody's suggested this so... DERPA HERPA DERP!

An interesting idea, but I think that we should get the afterlife done first. 

And I think that this is just getting better and better.  What are we going to have?

Earth + Carnival, heaven?, planes, afterlife, everything.

Minecraft, You can die XD  May we all praise the Toad.

I support this idea. But I have to agree that the afterlife should be completed first.

Yes but what does it add to the game that an entirely different plane doesn't?

You are adding essentially a plane that is empty (which is better for "World to World" planes. Where you simply just gen a apoc world).

Same. We'll be busy weaponizing Heaven, so that'll give him time to get these "dead worlds" coded in.

This make me remember of a old sci-fi TV serie.

Its not completely empty. It might be a dark and dead world but it can still have that one last settlement with a few people living there. Heck, it might have a postapocaliptic society. Mabe their world has few/bad/none underground plants so bringing them a plumphelmet would be saving the world from starvation.

Then it isn't a "Dead Plane" it is another world that is "Dead". So yeah better for "Game to game".

A plane needs a theme or purpose.

Right.  "Planes" are either The Embodiment of an Archetype in Landscape Form, or they're Totally Weird Alternate Dimensions Where the Laws of Physics Work Differently.  Yeah?
