Code:
client
    proc
        Save()
            var/savefile/F=new("players.sav")
            var/ckey_name=ckey(mob.name)
            F["[ckey]/[ckey_name]"]<<src.mob
        Load(char_ckey)
            var/savefile/F=new("players.sav")
            F["[ckey]/[char_ckey]"]>>src.mob
mob
    Write(savefile/F)
        ..()
        F["mobx"]<<src.x
        F["moby"]<<src.y
        F["mobz"]<<src.z
    Read(savefile/F)
        ..()
        F["mobx"]>>src.x
        F["moby"]>>src.y
        F["mobz"]>>src.z


Problem description:
It doesn't load the location. I get a black screen. (Also, it doesn't capitalize the first letter in the name...)

You have to call it.
mob/Choose/Login()
  if(fexists("[ckey]/[char_ckey]"))
     src.Read()
  else
     src.NewGame()

Untested, but I believe that will work.

Oh, sorry. I should've posted this too.
mob/new_chara
    Login()
        chara_select
        switch(input("What do you want to do?")in list("Create Character","Load Character","Delete Character"))
            if("Create Character")
                src.New_Chara()
            if("Load Character")
                var/savefile/F=new("players.sav")
                F.cd="/[ckey]"
                var/list/charas=F.dir
                var/choice=input("What character do you want to be?")as null|anything in charas
                if(!choice)
                    goto chara_select
                else
                    src.client.Load(ckey(choice))

Do not use goto in this code. You should be using while() instead.

Your location doesn't load because you're trying to load the x,y,z vars one at a time. You need to load them all to local vars, then set the location from those.

Wow, I really feel like a newb now. I got rid of the goto (made it a while) and changed the x, y, z thing. It still doesn't work. I could use all the help I can get.

I'm pretty sure the problem lies in the save/load procs.

client
    proc
        Save()
            var/savefile/F=new("players.sav")
            var/ckey_name=ckey(mob.name)
            F["[ckey]/[ckey_name]"]<<src.mob
        Load(char_ckey)
            var/savefile/F=new("players.sav")
            F["[ckey]/[char_ckey]"]>>src.mob
mob
    Write(savefile/F)
        ..()
        F["mobx"]<<src.x
        F["moby"]<<src.y
        F["mobz"]<<src.z
    Read(savefile/F)
        ..()
        var
            newx
            newy
            newz
        F["mobx"]>>newx
        F["moby"]>>newy
        F["mobz"]>>newz
        src.loc=locate(newx,newy,newz)
mob
    verb/Save()
        src.client.Save()
