By chance is the "tutorial" button enabled when the character is created, I assume you may have reassigned the tutorial zone to 0 and its trying to send your characters to tutorial, but when it cant find a proper zone id it craps out to its last choice which is Crescent Reach. Perhaps try disabling the tutorial button as well..
I built a new peq today, and created a human agnostic monk. If I have tutorial enabled, world will spit out:
Code:
No starts_zones entry in database, using defaults
Then I start in tutorial zone which is tutorialB
Then created new human agnostic monk and unclicked tutorial:
Code:
Found starting location in start_zones
And it puts me in qeynos2 as it should
What does your world report after creating new chars, and by chance have you changed the WorldTutorialZoneID?
