Description of the fields

AreaTableId INT(11)

AreaBit INT(11)

We have not investigated the purpose of these bit flags. The current assumption is that these bit flags provide meta information for a zone, e.g. hinting at an instanced or non-instanced zone, or a dungeon, or battleground, etc.

Flags INT(11)

`flags` seem to directly relate to the state of a zone, e.g. is it a city, or is it a winter area, or can I duel there. Thus we assume these are interaction related flags.
