I don't see that as a problem at all. It seems like newcomers are on the rush to get to all other cities on the first day they arrive to the mainland. Does it makes a lot of difference if you get to another city not on first day, but a week later? You will have plenty of time to play with other people all around the world, as levelling from 50's up to 100's levels takes days, and levelling up to the top takes weeks and months. Considering there are lots of skills, it can take years.
I have an idea though why this suggestion has met so much antipathy. You want to make the easy thing even more easier. I completely dislike the bias to simplification shown by the most of modern games. It's a pitiful fact when some complicated gameplay feature that has been existing and well working for years suddenly gets dumbed down to zero. I can bet all my dappers on the guess that many, if not almost everyone of Ryzom players can share my feelings. So far, Ryzom isn't amongst those simplified games and i hope it will never be. And it's not about any kind of elitism, it's all about taking challenges and having fun doing that.
