Whether you are managing a private server for friends or a public server with a large community, GGServers makes it easy to customize and control your server\u2019s timetable for maximum convenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1: Log Into the GGServers Control Panel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/panel.ggservers.com\">panel.ggservers.com<\/a> and log in using your GGServers account credentials. Our intuitive control panel is designed to make server management simple, fast, and accessible to all users, regardless of experience level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2: Stop Your ECO Server<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before making any changes, stop your ECO server from the control panel. Stopping the server prevents potential conflicts and ensures that your new playtime settings are applied correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"121\" height=\"56\" src=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-32.png\" alt=\"Stop The Server\" class=\"wp-image-17502\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-32.png 121w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-32-50x23.png 50w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-32-60x28.png 60w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-32-100x46.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 121px) 100vw, 121px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Stop The Server<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3: Access Server Settings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the left-hand navigation menu, click on <em>Server Settings<\/em>.

This tab gives you full control over how and when your ECO server operates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"107\" height=\"56\" src=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-111.png\" alt=\"Server Tab\" class=\"wp-image-17729\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-111.png 107w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-111-50x26.png 50w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-111-60x31.png 60w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-111-100x52.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 107px) 100vw, 107px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Server Tab<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 5: Find and Edit the Playtime Field<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Locate the <em>Playtime<\/em> box. This field is automatically filled if you created the server in the ECO client and set a timetable (schedule of preferred playtimes). If the field is blank, the best approach is to use the \u201cSet Playtime\u201d feature through the in-game menu (press Esc), then copy and paste the resulting schedule from <em>playtime.eco<\/em> into this field. This allows you to define exactly when your server should be active or offline, giving you total control over your gaming environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"406\" height=\"236\" src=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-119.png\" alt=\"Playtime Field\" class=\"wp-image-17747\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-119.png 406w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-119-300x174.png 300w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-119-50x29.png 50w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-119-60x35.png 60w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-119-100x58.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 406px) 100vw, 406px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 6: Save and Restart Your Server<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After editing the Playtime field, your changes will save automatically. Simply restart your ECO server to apply the new schedule. Your server will now run according to the playtime timetable you configured, ensuring optimal performance and player availability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Final Notes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GGServers provides the easiest and most reliable ECO server hosting available, with a control panel that allows full customization, including playtime schedules, max players, server passwords, and more.
