Notes
- The <Unknown dns> field often seems to contain a DNS name for some zones (ex.: "server.trenchwars.org" for Trench Wars). It may remain blank.
- The <Warn non-SSC zone> field is a boolean value which indicates whether or not Continuum will not warn you are entering a non-SSC zone. When this field is set to 1 Continuum will not warn the player they are entering a non-SSC zone.
