Server update issues:

[Asylum]

I completely removed all files and programs associated with the server after backing up my plugins folder, quests folder, and the database. Next I followed the detailed guide to setting up the server again and I have no trouble logging into the server through the eqemu login server list.

Here are the current issues:

The start.bat (world.exe actually) mentioned something about characters being stored in legacy format and moved all the information to character_old table in the database.
When I log into character select, all characters have none of their gear and world.exe gives the "Error loading inventory for charactername" for each character on that account.
When I log into a character, I cannot move only run in place and turn, nor do any NPCs appear to have spawned.

There has to be a way to recover/move the information in character_old to the new tables. There must be some simple solution I'm missing that is disallowing the NPC spawns and movement, I'm guessing maps? but those are up to date.

Thanks for any help in advance.
