MIXED: How To Add a colored welcome message ingame
If you want to add a (single) welcome message, with or without the color, you need to add a (name) GREET in player.string table.
Run this:
INSERT INTO `string`(`name`, `text`) VALUES ('GREET', '|cFFffa200|H|htest string');
Result:
If you removed the db_string feature, you can do it via quest as well:
quest greet_message begin
state start begin
when login begin
chat("|cFFffa200|H|htest string")
end
end
end
