Players, especially new ones, need to be exposed to RP as fast as possible. They need to be placed in a system with the most amount of non-newbie players as possible.
Otherwise we have a situation where a new player is introduced to the game world in a system that follows no RP logic and then expect to know that the next system they are dumped into isn't like that.
Teerin wanted suggestions into a starting location, here is a suggestion that can be done in ways that will give:
1. Options to learn
2. Allow flexibility for new players to learn slowly and not hit the pavement at a dead run.
3. Gives new players options into where to go and possibly how to act.
4. Less chance to break system cohesion with a sudden drop off into a possible warzone.

Adding an ooRP system with a choice of houses to go to(possibly even add a brief description of what RP is and even possible a very brief description of each house near their jumpholes if that is possible) is not going to hamper that process. If anything the new players it might slightly affect are the ones who don't do any research/read tips/read rules and wouldn't realize that it is a RP server until someone points it out to them.
