Ok, a number of questions, I'll start from the top:
1) how can I change the name of my server? Everything I've tried doesn't work, the name stays at "Realms of Despair" or whatever the default is
2) how can I get rid of all the default areas and make my own? It seems as soon as I get rid of the default ones it has, the server program will not run.

do I have to compile a server, or can I just change some of the files on the ready-to-go server download?

I think I might have solved my area problem, however now I need to know if there is a way to change the default start area so that I can use my own starting areas.

Take a look at my SMAUG server FAQ

Big help there on some questions, however it didn't say how to change my MUDs name :(

Oh yeah, one last thing, on the area editor, what are the fields in the Ranges section for?
Is it just the reccomended levels? It's confusing me because there's a soft low/high and hard low/high.

That was question 23 in the FAQ. It depends where you mean however. There is also a help topic GREETING in the help.are file. Try changing that.

Soft is recommended, hard is enforced.
