I've got a suggestion to replace the %motd% with IF the server ISN'T on!

Like if the server is on and you use %motd%, it will use the motd but if the server is off, you can use something else! Like this:
"MotdReplacement:&cSomething" and it will use that instead when the server is down.:)

How would you have a MOTD with the server down?

@csorrows: Go

It doesn't use the motd from the server if it is down, it will use a replacement instead of just saying "%motd%"

I think I'll create an addon with more advanced server pinging options

The Addon will contain options for %players% and %motd%
