Taken from elsewhere because somebody suggested posting it here:
Merge the trapdoor and hearth secret guy into the ladder. Have an interface with 2 + n buttons; The first is "Spawn in the Wilderness". The second is "Spawn at a Hearth Secret". The rest are "Spawn at the village of <villagename>". At the moment, you can click the ladder and never even realize the option to spawn at a village even exists. And I'm guessing most newbies would click the ladder before the trapdoor, after which they're thrust into the wilderness and forget that the trapdoor even existed. I know I did. God knows how many newbies also do. It's probably in the how-to. I'm willing to bet most people don't read the how-to.

Re: Starter Cave Revision
Hearth Secrets are used to direct specific people to your location. Charter Stones are used to direct unrelated newbies to your location. I won't go into why this might be useful, but the point is that the feature exists but is hidden from those who might have use for it.

By the time most players learn about the ability to spawn from villages, I imagine they'd typically be well past the point that that knowledge is useful to them.
