Changes to first run

ZEROibis

Currently when players first run the game after a update or whey they buy it they need to first join a server to then load up a bunch of stuff. However, by doing this they can eat up slots for VERY long periods of time where the server could have had players actually playing. No one likes waiting to load but people really do not want to be waiting for others to load so they can have enough to enjoy the game. This problem is especially prevalent in the days following an update or sale where first loads are the highest.

Given that when players first start the game they are planning on actually playing it why not have the first run stuff occur on the actual first run of the game instead of when they join a server. This will dramatically reduce loading times for clients connecting to a server allowing the playable clients within game to fill up sooner and make the game more enjoyable for everyone.

I can see this being quite helpful. I've learned to just open up explore mode after an update, but rookies definitely won't know to do something like this.

and it can reflect badly on the game itself. :P

Make it a toggleable option.
