what do you mean a configured version? do world.exe or zone.exe have any errors at all when you start them up before starting the client? also do any of your zone windows say anything after the crash has happened? or are they all still at
[status] entering sleep mode.
connected to worldserver: ---.---.---.---.----
with some error along the bottom here from world.exe crashing

one of them should have some more information in it about booting up a zone, assuming it made it that far.

also you did make a copy of spells_en.txt and spells_us.txt to put into your eqemu folder correct? i dout that would cause this issue however ive read of odd problems being caused by them not being there and also just making a general checklist of somehting you may have forgoten. you should also have a cfg folder with .cfg files for each zone in it, however, honestly i dont think these do anything at all anymore.

im no expert on this so im just going by what ive seen while breaking my own server, i really feel you should use a tool such as mysql-front to check over your zone tables and start_zones table, especially if you meant you downloaded a custom configured database, also could you list all the updates youve sourced into your db so far? with each dump of the server source they include an itemtablechages.sql file however if you didnt use this you would have a ton of errors starting world or zone.exe

anyway if your not getting any errors while starting world or zone.exe, just to rule out the option of bad start_zones could you make a backup of your current config for race 6, class 2 combination in start_zones and put this in the field temporarily x=
-403.8 y= -189.6 z= -6.2 zone_id=40 player_choice=5 player_class=2 player_diety=206 player_race=6 start_zone=40 and the go to the zones table and make sure that neriakaA's zone ID number is 40, then try making a darkelf cleric and see if this works, i know this start zone isnt the correct one but its one i know works on my server. anyway GL with it and let us know the outcome
