@ shpp i appreciate your input and I think you have some great ideas. My main plan was to center the world portals around a main structure. This main structure would contain SERVER info and SERVER rules only. this is up for debate, but I feel that it would cause the least amount of confusion. Also, there could be a board describing each world and a few main features of it. The user could then choose a world and walk down the designated pathway towards that portal. This is where I grow a bit unsure of things. I feel that if too much information is given, it may confuse new players, So i feel that the world rules, ranks, and permissions should be kept within each world, at the spawn portal exit. Once a user enters a portal at the spawn, they could be taken to a designated "Welcome Area" within that world. This structure could contain all world rules, ranks, and permissions for that world only.
For example: I decide to join CFEW as a new member. I log in and read the server rules and all world descriptions. I decide that the main world is a good starting place so I go to the main world portal. Once I enter this portal, I am taken to A "welcome" structure inside the main world. (We could even use Spawn2 or Spawn1 since they both have most of the main server rules already). This structure would contain all ranks, rules, and permissions in the MAIN world, and the MAIN world only. I read all of these, and decide that PVP might be more my style. I head back to spawn and go to the PVP portal. This takes me to a structure inside of PVP world with all PVP rules and permissions.
I feel that this isn't a perfect system, but one that will cut down on confusion drastically. having a separate spot for SERVER info as opposed to WORLD info would help eliminate the large number of signs that currently populate spawn. It would also allow users to know the exact rules of the world that they are entering into and will hopefully cut down on the amount of questions asked.
