How to Change Your SLG Username on an ECO Server
In ECO, the SLG (Strange Loop Games) Username is the unique account name that players use to log in and connect to servers. Changing this username on your ECO server can be helpful if you want to update your identity, match your community branding, or simply refresh your in-game presence. Fortunately, when you host your ECO server with GGServers, the process is straightforward and can be done directly from our user-friendly game server control panel. In this guide, we’ll walk you step by step through how to change your SLG Username safely and effectively.
Step 1: Access the GGServers Control Panel
To begin, go to panel.ggservers.com and log in using the credentials provided when you set up your ECO server hosting account. The GGServers control panel is designed to give you complete control over your server settings, from performance adjustments to account details like your SLG Username.
Step 2: Stop Your ECO Server
Before making any configuration changes, it’s important to stop the server. This prevents any data corruption or conflicts during the update process. Click the Stop button in your control panel and wait until the server status confirms that it has been shut down.

Step 3: Open the Server Settings Menu
On the left-hand navigation panel of your GGServers dashboard, locate and click on Server Settings. This section contains all the configurable options for your ECO server, including network, account, and gameplay parameters.

Step 4: Navigate to the Account Tab
Inside the Server Settings, you will see multiple tabs that group different configuration options. Click on the Account tab, where player login and account-specific options are located. This is where you can manage and update your SLG Username.

Step 5: Locate the SLG Username Field
Within the Account tab, look for the box labeled SLG Username. This is where your current username is displayed and can be modified. Be sure to enter your new username carefully, as this is the identity that players will see when joining your ECO server.

Step 6: Change and Save the Username
Simply replace the current SLG Username with your desired new one. The GGServers panel automatically saves changes made in this section, so there’s no need to click a separate save button. Once updated, your ECO server will recognize the new username during the next startup.
Step 7: Restart Your ECO Server
Finally, go back to the main dashboard and click Start to bring your ECO server back online. Your SLG Username change will now be active, and you can join the game using your updated identity. This change is instant and helps ensure your server and player login remain consistent with your preferred account name.
