Entrance Exam?

I was thinking of possibly using a system similar to what I've seen on other servers for new players/characters. To be admitted to the world, the player must pass an entrance exam to prove he or she has read and understands the rules - that way, if the player breaks a rule, the excuse "I didn't know" isn't an option. What I was thinking would be to have an almost school-type room where there is an NPC at a desk. The player will speak to this NPC and the NPC will show all the server rules.

The player will be given three options:

"Take the entrance exam": The NPC will then give the player a short quiz, and if the player answers all the questions correctly, they will be warped to the main city/town. However, if the player answers incorrectly, they must stay in the classroom to "study more" until they successfully complete the quiz.

"Screw the rules": The NPC will reply with "Well screw you too!" and either kill the player or close the player's client [I thought the client closing would be funnier].

"Never mind": The NPC will ask the player to come back when they're ready and the dialog will close.

Any thoughts or feedback is appreciated ^^

Omg! I was thinking of that earlier today at school xD
I was going to post it as soon as I got home but seems that we both got the same idea xD
Only thing that I don't agree with you is having the NPC saying the rules.
Either put them on a side NPC (on the blackboard for example) or not put them at all.
Why? Because people may know them already (by reading them on the website) and browsing through all the rules is quite boring... It's just some 'enters' away though... xD Whatever.
I agree with adding the NPC but of course that we won't be able to do it before the server comes up (tomorrow, yay! x3) but if Keith decides to add it later I'll help with anything IF needed. happy

Actually, no need to go and script a new one, I have one that I had made for a server I administrated at (its dead now). A simple scan for bugs, a quick update (its using menu instead of case), and a change in the rules typed in it and it's your's if you guys want it.

I'm good with it. But I suggest disableing the @go in the map the Entrance Exam NPC will be in.
