I made a new character to join Dogrock in the Rescue Camp and see all the white knights he was talking about. I ran through the starting area killing nothing. When it came to me going to the rescue camp the game went to a black screen and I was forced to close it. When I loaded the game up again it took me to the camp, but this is what I found when I logged in:

I am in completely white armor with nothing in my inventory. I'm assuming this is the placeholder for having no equipment. Not sure what would cause this to happen.
EDIT: It seems like just equipping items fixes the problem. Also I should note that I lost all of the crowns I picked up on the ground in the beginner area.
We have since removed the cause of that issue. And will look into making it sure it doesn't pop up again.
Do let us know with a complaint or Support Request if you come across some of these broken knights, we can't have naked knights running through the streets!
