I am not sure if patching to the lastest EQ patches is wise cause I can't even get my eq to boot anymore but here is the fix for the zone thing. This was posted by Stud I believe on the old message board!

Here is precisely what I had to do to get zones to boot up in 1.9...don't ask me what this is a symptom of, but, this is how it went....

Using a fresh install, fresh DB, everything. My world would launch up fine. My zones would initialize saying using db eq at 127.0.0.1 then just totally disappear, never connecting to the world server.

I logged in with my client as far as the world server, and created a character. I fired up the eqadmintool went into modify the new acct to set him as server op and give him a password. When I went to commit that change the first time, I got a pop up that said something along the lines of "DB not in insert mode", I pressed commit again and it took the change fine.

THEN I fired up the boot5zones.bat and they all connected to the world server and fired up corrrectly.

It looks to me like for some reason the zones were not able to connect to the DB until after I commited the change to the DB and got passed that "DB not in insert mode" error.
