In the main menu there would be an option to start normally, or to spawn in limited social mode without a ship at New Golden Sands. The limited mode would not allow players to leave the port unless they join an existing crew in the server, or unless they form a new crew that would spawn their ship at another outpost (if there is place in server), or in a new server altogether. Players in the limited social mode would not do any damage to other pirates and would not be able to interact with ships nor treasure.
The feature should likely be locked behind progression to not confuse new players. Perhaps it could even use the Legend Hideout for the transition between limited mode and normal mode - but that might be too restrictive for newer players.
