Mark's latest SVN patch fixes character creation for both 7.0.16.0+ and older clients. The problem with the first patch was that it had the wrong maximum value for a stat (50 instead of 60) for older clients, thus causing all older client character creations with str, dex or int picked higher than 50 to create a character with 10 str, 10 dex and 10 int. This is all fixed now, and if the latest patch isn't on Demise yet, it will be very soon!
