Long story short, I played in 1.0 but when ARR released I started a new character so I could play with friends.

Recently, I decided to level up and play my legacy character (tattoo ftw) but I noticed his city state was Gridania when he was created in uldah in 1.0.

How are/were city states assigned to 1.0 characters? It seems like mine was assigned based off where I chose to start him in 2.0?

If it matters, I never completed the story in 1.0.

I'm curious about others experience and want sure where to ask. Thanks everyone in advance!
