@motd

@motd[/<type>] <message>
@motd/clear[/<type>]
@motd/list

This command is used for manipulating the various Messages of the Day, or MotD. The first form of this command sets the <type> MotD to <message>, the second form clears the <type> MotD, and the third form lists the current value of each MotD. If no switch is given, <type> defaults to /connect.

You must have the Announce @power or the chat.admin permission to change the Connect MotD; @motd/list and the other types need chat.admin.

@wizmotd and @rejectmotd work like @motd/wizard and @motd/full. @listmotd is open to everyone: it shows the Connect MotD (and, with chat.admin, the others) and where the game reads its messages from.

  • @motd types: who sees each MotD, how long it lasts, and the list

These messages are intended for temporary announcements. A /connect or /wizard MotD is shown in place of the MOTD or wizard MOTD kept on the Messages page (see messages) while it is set; a /down MotD is shown after the logins-disabled message. MotDs set via this command are kept across restarts until cleared.

Valid <type>and is seen by…
/connectall players on connect
/wizardconnecting Wizards and Royalty
/fullplayers failing to connect because all available connections are in use
/downmortals failing to connect when logins are disabled

@listmotd also says where the game reads its messages from: the stored texts or the Messages object.
