Unable to create a character

[Semli]

Greetings!

I just started (again) and am unable to create a character. Rather, I can create a character just fine, but I have no "Tutorial Zone" button to uncheck. I have reinstalled three times now, and even tried on a different machine running a different OS. I am using the Titanium client.

I can play the game just fine using a char I created back when 1999 first started up, as that char is not in the mines. However, any new character I create automatically gets put in the mines, and as you know, that zone does not exist, so I cannot log in using that character.

I am at a loss as to what to do. Halp!
