So this issue has been persistant among all of the WoW private server distros since the beginning. Basically you know how in the .conf file you can specify view distance for objects, creatures, players ect... Well when a character is first created and the game takes you through the intro video around the terrain of the game you do not see any animals, objects, players, ect... Until you get within the view distance of your character, that you specified in the .conf file... Well this is not blizz-like, all animals, objects, and players should be noticeable during the intro video then it should return back to the conf file settings.

The way to circumvent this is to have the view distance for objects, players, creatures overridden from what is in the configuration file during the loading screen. You would change the view distance for all options to the radius of the starting zones.
