(I have pasted it below.. however the alignment will probably be thrown off terribly. ;-) )

... And in the time which passed, great tumult and misery was wreaked upon
the stronghold of Darkhaven by the dark gods, and much change visited upon
the carnage which remained by the gods of the light ...

| No no no.. that's not what I meant.. it isn't any of those.
That *IS* the message that comes up.. it's already there.. I want to REMOVE it. heh (or at least change it).
It only appears once to users that are new and have just made a new account. It informs them about passing through the spectral gates or some crap. :-D | | Top |

| | A lot of those messages are in the help.are area file. Edit that. In this case it is the NMOTD help subject. The area editor program available from this site will edit that file for you, or you can use Notepad or a similar text editor. |
