In the client I'd like to change the help window link from help.soe.com to my server's webpage but I've Googled until I'm blue in the face and can't figure out how.:confused:
Any help is appreciated. =)

Just changing the URL string doesn't appear to be enough. Maybe it expects something particular in reply? I'm stumped.

Probably hard coded in the client. I can look when I get home if you are interested.

For reference the actual URL in the binary is "https://soe-ing.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/soe_ing.cfg/php/enduser/std_alp.php?" (for UF at least), help.soe.com is a redirect. The client also appends a bunch of GET/POST stuff onto it -- character name, race, level, server shortname, etc. Switching out the URL and accounting for the GET/POST (at least enough for a normal browser to not 404) just gets me a flickery black screen in-game.
