Can Create New Toon, Can't Log Him Into World

[Handull]

I just tried to create a Halfling Paladin, the toon appears in my account but is located in "Tutorial Zone". Upon creation and further upon trying to Enter World I get the message "That zone is unavailable."

I was able to just create a Human Monk in Freeport. For the monk I used the Get Name feature...Just tried again with a Halfling Paladin with a shorter name, same problem. Tried to make a Halfling Ranger and got disconnected, twice in a row now, and neither Ranger was successfully created. The rangers used different Set Face than I had used for the three Paladins (which had all been the same). Just tried another Paladin with a different face. Made the toon but can't log in.

I just made a Female Halfling Druid just fine...maybe no one has ever made a Halfling Paladin or Ranger? lol. Finally, I just made a Male Halfling Druid with the face and name I wanted in the first place.

Sorry this post doesn't read well, but I just added to it as I was trying out new combinations.

Halfling paladins don't exist on this server

PEBKAC error

Halfling Paladin/Ranger and Gnome Shadowknight/Paladin show up due to the UI, but the backend of the server will not allow their creation hence the crashing upon character creation.

These race/class combinations were added with a patch 3 months after Luclin was released, meaning they will never see the light of day on this server:

We wanted to start by letting everyone know how grateful we are for all
of the suggestions for improvements that we've received both in EMail
and on the various class and server boards. We appreciate all the help
you've provided us.

** Changes for Low Level Characters **

- Characters no longer lose experience for death below level 11
- Characters now begin first level with a stack of 20 food and drink
- Items no longer appear on a corpse if you are below level 10, they
reappear with the character
- When a character "dings" level 10 you will be informed that your
items will now be on your corpse
- Characters will no longer appear with a Tome of Discord. They must
get one from the Priest of Discord
- New resurrection, evacuate and corpse summoning spells have been
added at lower levels
- We've moved the newbie bind points closer to where characters first
start out, not outside in their newbie areas
- Halflings and Gnomes have new classes available to them: Halfling
Rangers and Paladins as well as Gnome ShadowKnights and Paladins. All
of the necessary NPCs and items should be available for these new
classes
