It starts in World Edition because that's where your progress is at. You're not in Pacific Bay anymore, so the game will not take you there right away. You have to manually fly there to play any case (just like with Grimsborough). The only way the game will take you to Pacific Bay right away is if the game decides to stop working and you get a "It seems like you got interrupted in Pacific Bay. Would you like to fly there and continue investigating?" or something like that.
