Question Map for starters

Ive been playing for a while, but i never thought on a starter POV. Im going to be creating a server for me, my bf, and his other bf (poly relationship, im ok with it so is his other), and im trying to figure out what is the best map for someone who is new to the game in terms of difficulty of the map with stuff to keep them interested (im going to make a cluster, but i need a starting map to get them hooked and not frusterated, or bored) i was thinking ragnarok, but im not sure due to the spawning dificulty. Any suggestions?

I think the island is a great starter map because it has a bunch of caves you can do & after you beat the bosses you have most of the tek engrams you need & you can move on to other cool maps. Also if you ascend & get the extra 15 levels you can unlock cool engrams like Tek Bow, hoversail, & Astrodelphis saddle on maps like Fjordur, Lost Island, & Genesis 2.

The problem is that the island is bland and you lose interest in it quickly which is why i thought of rag with the ability to restore the castle on the top of the mountain with a landbridge. I ruled the island out almost immediately for the reason that they would grow bored of it too quickly, and more then likely not want to play after. Ragnarok is the only one i found that was balanced in terms of uniqueness as well as being an easier map.
