Troll Warrior issue

I have reset the starting zone and bind point for every race and class to a specific zone and location... So far every race/class combo I have created all start at that location except for all Trolls (except the Berserker)..

I created Trolls of all classes and (so far) it has always started me in Grobb with a bind point of Innothule with the exception of Berserkers... I even have the level requirements for Grobb set at 85 and it still puts the toon there at level 1...

I have double checked my starting zone and location in the database manually and the required level... They are all set properly for all Trolls of every class and deity... Nothing I change seems to prevent the starting point of Grobb...

Any suggestions on what may be wrong?

When you create a character, there should be messages written to one of the logs along the lines of:

Code:

Start zone query: SELECT x,y,z,zone_id,bind_id FROM start_zones ....

followed by:

Code:

Found starting location in start_zones

Code:

No start_zones entry in database, using defaults

I would create a troll and then check your logs to see what SQL query the server is executing to find the start zone and double-check you have a row that matches that query.

Here is what I am getting...

And here is what is in database under start_zone:

Code:

                <bind_z>3.8</bind_z>

                <select_rank>50</select_rank>

        </row>

It is set properly in the database for all Troll classes, deities and race combinations...

I think i might see what the problem is... The creation process is looking for player_choice 6 and the only trolls with that selection is the berserker... All the other classes have choice 5... I will try changing that to 6 for all the others and see what happens...

Yup that was the problem.... Player choice 5 for the Trolls forces them into Grobb and bind in Innothule... It seems to totally ignore the database setting for them with that setting and it seems to ignore the level restrictions on the zone as well...
