Suggestion: Once implemented, require all current users (including donors, mods & so on - everyone) to complete the new spawn experience.
Justification: There are many users who have only signed on once, or not been here for a long time. Upon their next visit, requiring them to complete that introductory experience helps to ensure everyone has the same foundation.
Why not exempt donors?
- It's a very good experience, and most people can still learn something going through it.
- If everyone knows the contents of the intro, we can collectively have an understanding of what a new user should learn coming out of it.
- Aesthetically, it's a gorgeous build and - IMHO - everybody deserves to see it at least once.
Technical Details
I do not know exactly how this could be accomplished but assume that Frellling could set a flag for all users indicating they've not yet gone through the experience. Either that, or create a new category of users and temporarily move existing people into that category.

I wouldn't mind going through it. But you couldn't "force" players through without disabling /home and if that screwed-up my home settings I'd be upset. I am sure there are gentler ways that users could be encouraged to go through it. You would probably want to figure out a way to spread that over time--it would be horrendous if every active player tried to go through the spawn area in the same afternoon (it would look like a hurricane evacuation).

It would be unfair if EVERYONE had to go through it. Some people have already gone through the new spawn. It would just use up thirty minutes of that player's time. Not to sound negative, it's just my opinion.

I understand each of your points, but consider it from another perspective.
It's a given, you've already gone through it; so have I.
But, would you be willing to go though it again, if it would ensure that all the other players had gone through it?
Collectively the benefit for the community is MUCH greater than any of our individual costs to do it again, if it cuts down on the blathering in general chat.

We have already contemplated this and other similar options over the past several weeks. More will become available as we draw closer to the opening of the new zone.

Maybe if a player gets unbanned, he/she is forced to go through the New spawn experience again?

To repeat, "We have already contemplated this and other similar options over the past several weeks. More will become available as we draw closer to the opening of the new zone."
