when i connected the first few times (creating a new character each time) i started in the Entrance to the newbie academy. But now whenever i make a new character it always starts in a pitch black room instead of the academy entrance. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hey Im going to feel useful now! Get an immortal char of yours to take the dark flag off the room the people start in. Just might help!

Well done, Boomerang!
You have passed the Spectral Gates, and have entered the game.
Your accomplishment has earned you level two...
You feel more powerful!
You raise a level!! Your gain is: 8/26 hp, 5/115 mana, 10/110 mv 5/5 prac.
Someone asks 'What soul passes the gateway into this dominion?'
Someone answers 'Boomerang, a Cleric prentice ...'
... Please leave north to experience the Darkhaven Academy.
... You may now "save" to make your character permanent.
