Late response :)

Currently I land the players on the old maps and they pass through a 
portal to the new maps.  I want this to go away soon.

Absolutely.  The newer clients make assumptions about the locations of 
Scorn and Navar City.

The older approach of having the character move around in the Hall of 
Selection would have made it easier than the current approach of having 
the information closely integrated in to the client.

Perhaps the clients could get a start location list from the server, or we 
could return to using something like a Hall Of Selection.

Cheers,
