It's a problem with alpha1 and classic that will be corrected in future releases. We've fixed a crapload of things for our kunark release including ALL start points, starting gear, etc. It will be great. Test it on PEQ The Grand Creation if you want to see it in action.
We'll eventually have a full pop one out as well, With all the kinks worked out. Right now the only pop able DBs are pretty buggy and comprised of our older dbs (merged in) with classic. The alpha1 was so messy and laid out horribly that it really just creates more problems merging it in with real zone info. Our classic and onward are cleaned up considerably and extraneous information removed.
Again, please help us test the db and the code so we can release kunark quickly and get started on velious!
