Okay, according to my investigating, you are correct. The 'starting_zones' table is not used by SoF clients. The SoF client doesn't tell the server what race, class, or deity choices the player chose for the character on character creation anymore, it tells the server the exact ZoneID the player selected from the drop-down list.

The character creation in SoF is different in that it doesn't send the player_choice field anymore, rather it sends the actual ZoneID of the requested start zone...
So there are really only two options for SoF client users:

- Allow them to explicitly choose their own starting zone from the drop-down list on the client (which seems to default to Crescent Reach)

- Set the rule value for 'World:SoFStartZoneID' to a specific ZoneID for SoF users to start all of their characters in.

It's possible I'm off in my educated guessing here, and the Emu devs have implemented a different way of handling the new SoF ZoneID way of choosing start cities.
