Thanks for the replys, been pondering this a few days.
I did try to edit the eqstr_us.txt and there is another one that holds similiar data.
But all I got was a wierd error that appeared along with the name and old zone name, of my characters in the character select. Also got odd errors while in the game. No game text came up.
Everything that would normallly be displayed like motd, zone messages, even the logout timer showed up as errors.
I do plan to send my zone files to those that will be playing on my server, not sure how to make em readily available as I do not have any hosting space on the internet :-(. So any edits in client files are fairly expected in the zone files or text/config files. Of course if I have to edit the exe's then I can forget that
None of my zones even closely resemble EQ in any way
