You guys didn't read my post huh?
I basically summed his whole post up by saying "Hub World".
If I had the server space, I would be more then happen to script a full fledged Hub World server with a good tutorial and a few activities to show the new players around as well as the various warps to the other servers. I sort of did that on Atexia with my warp center (which is now not public).
But many problems arise from this which is why you should read my post above.
