Everything Zaela said is true except for the absolute necessity to inject or modify the client. In the literal sense, yes -- but we can easily simulate the functionality by sending a modified zone string. Here's a screenshot from my Remnants of the Claw server that used the RoF2 client. I renamed the new Feerrott to The Bloodied Jungle; The short name was jungle. The zoning text was also correct as it just mirrors the string. Although that was a lot more complicated to setup iirc. Probably easiest to just modify the client/hook in that case.

Edit: Or just remove it completely.
