OK... there are no errors mentioned about this code, yet it is doing nothing... It won't even show up at start...

mob/Login()
src << ""
world << "[src.name] has just entered '[world.name]'!"

client/var/tmp

world
name = "TextMUD Engine"

mob/other/creating_character
Login()
spawn()
src.CreateCharacter()
proc
CreateCharacter()

var/newCharacterChoice = "New Character"
var/list/menu = new()
menu += newCharacterChoice

var/result = input("Character Creation", "WoE") in menu

if (result == newCharacterChoice)
src.CreateNewCharacter()

mob/other/creating_character/proc
CreateNewCharacter()
var/prompt_title = "Character Creation"
var/help_text = "What is your name?"
var/default_value = ""
var/char_name = input(src, help_text, prompt_title, default_value) as null|text

if (!char_name)
src.CreateCharacter()
return

Well what i understand, is that "[src.name] has just entered '[world.name]'!" still appears, but the character creation isnt working. To get the character creation working, you have specified another type of mob login to handle it, but you have not made the client into that type of mob anywhere. Just include 
world/mob = /mob/other/creating_character
in your code, then hopefully the character creation should work. And also just move the "[src.name] has just entered '[world.name]'!" login section under the other mob login section aswell.

Just delete this section above, as it is not needed. (see below)

world
name = "TextMUD Engine (Someone please come and tell me if you get host verbs)"
mob = mob/other/creating_character

Use this declaration as it will make the client use this mob automatically. Also, the 'mob/other/creating_character' needs another / at the start, because it is a path. So use '/mob/other/creating_character' instead (without the quote marks).
So the fixed code is just 
world
    src << ""
    name = "TextMUD Engine (Someone please come and tell me if you get host verbs)"
    mob = /mob/other/creating_character

Sorry about that, put the src << "", in the creating_character login, and that should fix it back up. 
mob/other/creating_character
    Login()
        src << ""
        spawn()
            src.CreateCharacter()
    proc
        CreateCharacter()

            var/newCharacterChoice = "New Character"
            var/list/menu = new()
            menu += newCharacterChoice

            var/result = input("Character Creation", "WoE") in menu

            if (result == newCharacterChoice)
                src.CreateNewCharacter()
And delete the 'src << ""' in the world part.
