You haven't said what error message you are getting when you try to claim it.

Please try claiming again and supply the exact message or a screenshot.

It is clearly displaying the original name "Wolfpack Force Gaming" and not including the required string "GameTrackerClaimServer".

You may want to read the instructions here:

That link takes me to a login page.

To change your server name you need to change the motd=<your server name> in the server.properties file, and then restart the server.

Gametracker should see the name change in 5-10 minutes and update the Gametracker server page, at which point you can claim your server.

You must claim it yourself, no one else can do it for you.

Oh thanks. I thought it meant the actual server name not the MOTD

motd is the server name.
I am retired from GameTracker after 11 years and will not be responsive for support requests.

Ahh yes, the re-purposing of programme variables or parameters to be something their name does not reflect.
That's never caused any confusion in the history of code development. Not ever!
