How to Change the Server Description on Your OpenRCT2 Server<\/h2>\n

While your server name grabs a player’s attention, the Server Description<\/strong> provides the vital details they need before joining. This text appears when players hover over your server in the master list, making it the perfect place to list your park rules, discord links, or current project goals. Using the GGServers panel, you can update this information in seconds. Follow the steps below to customize your server’s description.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Access the Panel<\/h3>\n

Log in to your GGServers Control Panel<\/a> and select your OpenRCT2 server. This dashboard is where you manage your server’s public information and player communication.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Stop Your Server<\/h3>\n

To ensure the new description is correctly saved and broadcasted to the master list, you must first stop the server. Click the red Stop<\/strong> button on the main console. Wait for the status indicator to show “Offline” before proceeding.<\/p>\n
