We are experiencing extremely high load currently that is affecting our services. We are working on it, if you see an issue like "No response from auth server" or a empty menu screen, it's due to this.

Hello Citizens,
today is the day - we are finally launching Eco 10 for you to play! Our team has put together a massive upgrade for the game, making this the biggest Update we ever made. And due to the introduction of settlements, it's also the one with the most changes to and impact on gameplay - making Eco even more interesting and collaboration focused!

Release Summary:

What is the maximum character length for the DetailedDescription ?

If i remember correctly it does not have one, once all info for the server display panel goes over a technical limit, the description will be cut off. That includes the server name and any variable info.

We plan to release around 17 CET, but that is not an official announcement - plans may change last minute.

That's the correct one, here the one from one of our official servers:

"DetailedDescription": "This official ECO server is hosted by Strange Loop Games in the EU. The current cycle runs for the time frame noted in the server name.\n\nPlaying on this server is subject to rules viewable in its Ecopedia (F1). Our Game Masters do not actively monitor this server, you need to contact them on our official Discord if you need help.\n",

Works fine here, what is too long will simply not be displayed.

PingPerfect should be fully ready in any case, given they are our official partners. Any host can get the files starting with release and could try earlier versions for a long while. There is tons of template changes they may need some time to update.

The post does not violate our rules, it does not state the name or any hint on how to join it. It's akin to the posts where players search for a specific server recommendation which are also allowed.

Coast Redwood has minimal rules, Giant Panda and Sea Otter have some rules especially on government usage, Dusky Robin has the same rules as Giant Panda and Otter but runs for extended time and White Tiger is a community-server like experience with lots of presetup.

Rules are noted in F1 and hinted at before joining and at joining. Game Masters are community volunteers - they are allowed to play on the servers in off-duty mode, but it is only typical for them to do on White Tiger.

We try to make all savegames from 9.7 migrate, but any incompatible stuff will simply be deleted. We strongly recommend to start a new savegame to avoid that and have all changes to worldgeneration as well.

Yea, I never understood that, cut out the first bit of the game then wonder why servers only last two weeks…

Actually servers with premade government tend to last longer, as they are mostly concept community servers. So there is no relation to that. See White Tiger.
