I like the idea of being able to spawn on the same or nearby starter zones so that you can group up pretty quickly. I don't like the idea of teleporting directly onto each other or near each other, this kind of goes against the design of the game and can also be used to expoit. One suggestion that I think would be really nice, is the ability to choose your spawn location every 6 or so hours. This will allow your friends to group up easier, and the cooldown will mitigate exploitation. This will still require navigating to group up, as this will only work when you respawn as a new player, and also limited to a cooldown. This method would also be more friendly to the server/database since your just picking a spawn area instead of looking up friends and whatnot. Reducing the time it takes to group up with friends will make this mod much more enjoyable, but it doesn't have to make it super easy either.
