== Your First Stop ==
Entry Spawn is the first place that brand new players appear in. The purpose of Entry Spawn is to present the most important information about the server as concisely as possible, so that fresh players can enter the world and begin to play as quickly as possible, while also not being completely thrown into it without any idea.
__TOC__
== History ==
From June 2021-Early 2023, Rhapsody featured an entry spawn area with over 40 signs of material to read, not counting floating text. Rhapsody's new entry spawn contains just 24, and informs new players of all the same things in a less verbose, more concise manner. After the implementation of the new entry spawn, new player retention has skyrocketed, and many simple changes to the layout of the area have resulted in an overall better experience for new players.
Previously, (more commonly among players routed in from planet minecraft) it was very common for a new player to question how to actually leave the entry spawn area, which can only be done by reading and acknowledging that you have read the rules by typing in a command.
== Why? ==
"Why not just let new players spawn where everyone spawns after they leave the entry spawn? There is already a rules command which shows you the rules!", many, including you, have likely wondered. 
The real reason for entry spawn is to weed out those who are not respectful and patient enough to acknowledge the server rules. Furthermore, people who are open to what the server expects of them may also want to know a little bit more about the server's special features alongside how they are expected to behave. It's a nice exchange of information, considering how one traverses this area (and subsequently the main spawn area) gives the staff a pretty decent idea of what to expect from a new player in general.
== Returning ==
Forget something that was explained at entry spawn? Anyone can return to the server's "birth-point" by using /warp entryspawn.
