I did too.
You can edit which vocations and towns a new account can pick both in the folder xampp\htdocs\config by modifying the config.php file.
First I did some testing and found some town id's and set them up on the towns_list so I will remember in the future if I want to use them.
PHP:
$towns_list = array(0 => 'Rook', 2 => 'Thais', 1 => 'Venore', 4 => 'Carlin', 3 => 'Kazordoon', 5 => 'Ab\'dendriel', 6 => 'Rookgaard');
I think this does not set which towns a new characters gets to pick, but rather gives names to the options if you want to use them on the next code I'm listing.
This is the line you actually change to modify which town a new characters starts in. If there is only one element in the array then they will not have an option during character creation. I chose 6 so that new characters will start in Rookgaard.
PHP:
$config['site']['newchar_towns'] = array(6);
Lastly, the new character vocations line works just like the previous new character towns. The value 0 will copy the Rook Sample character in the player table of the database.
PHP:
$config['site']['newchar_vocations'] = array(0 => 'Rook Sample');
Lastly the rook character had a ton of good gear and was already level 8. To change the HP, MP, Level and EXP I modified the Rook Sample character in the player table of the database, and to get rid of the gear I logged into the account that Rook Sample belonged to, logged in as that Rook Sample player and threw all of his items onto the floor.
Hope that helps anyone looking for a way to achieve this sort of thing.
