to post a System Message to your Server, Use # instead of /


#Server maintenance starting in blah blah blah.....

then you can make yourself specific macros for messages you will reuse.

you can also make @commands to push server messages but macros work just as good.

Unless you mean you want to change the message everyone sees when they login, in which case you would need to do a bit more to change it while the game is running...

You would want to track that down from where the config code is read to find where the server message is stored and add another method to set it (like a lua binding that can be used with a GM command).
