We do plan to add the ability to choose a Eco specific username now that we have persistent avatars.
The command /renounce also allows to do that where the foundation isn't accessible.
It hints at some autocorrected problems with the savegame, it can typically be ignored.
If you have unity crashes when connecting to any server, the reason may be older CPU's - a copy of our statement on that in Discord:
PSA: For the unity crashes seen on joining a world the problem is the usage of very old CPU's that do not support the AVX2 / SSE4 instructions that are required in the new Unity version we use. Those CPU's are all below our minimum requirements, but we will do our best to find a way to enable you to play nontheless. We are reaching out to players affected to test a variety of options we have via custom builds. We'll let you know if we can find a solution that works for everyone.
If that is not the case for you, please reach out to [email protected].
The creation of a new avatar is expected, they are saved locally.
Will this be brought into steam cloud sync at some point, along with your recent servers list?
I unfortunately don't have information about that currently. It might be an option for those purposes, while it isn't for local save games, given they are server worlds.
Please let me know your discord username (DM, or reach out to [email protected]), it seems we have problems with false positive anti-raid automatical bans we're investigating.
I have one of those as well, unfortunately the skills are more Slacking 7 rather than hunting. :)

The miner could just mine straight down and not mine any veins. Then he would just suck and have little wealth. Or he could import all his ore from other players. that kind of sucks though.
Or everyone in the town could give the miner rights to mine their property, but that also sucks (now he can steal everything).
Try to find the server in the main lists (like New Beginners) and not the server browser, we heard of this weird problem a few times but aren't able to reproduce it so far. The creation of a new avatar is expected, they are saved locally. You will always keep the avatar you joined a server with and then be able to change it via a dresser on that server.
