Did you know you can tell the wisp to go away?

login.txt
The demo supports a file named login.txt, you have to place it in the root of the .rundir directory. The contents of that file will appear in your journal as soon as you log on to the demo server. Note: not all characters may appear but this seems to be limitation of the client and not the server, the packet contains the complete file.
