With GGServers, managing server categories is both easy and efficient, giving you full control over how your server is presented to potential players. Whether you want to attract beginners or seasoned ECO veterans, selecting the correct category helps optimize player engagement and server growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1: Log in to the GGServers Control Panel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Access your ECO server settings by visiting <a href=\"https:\/\/panel.ggservers.com\">panel.ggservers.com<\/a>.
