Name Availability

Noticed this yesterday, thought it was pretty interesting. Just sharing for anyone that should want a specific name that is currently unavailable.

We often see people on these forums asking when a particular name will be freed up. We know it can be a a source of frustration for you when a cool name you really want is sitting on an account that hasn't been played for years. Thanks to Mod Jane who has championed this cause on your behalf - we can now share a bit of information with you regarding account names.

So we've had a good look at all these dormant accounts and identified those who we believe the names should be freed up for. At the same time we do have to respect that some of these accounts may have been members and may have gained some fairly decent game stats, and as they are always welcome to return to the game we wouldn't want to take away names from people who have invested time and effort in their accounts.

As a result of the name review we currently have around 140 million names that will be freed up, we've already released 50 million names, and the other 90 million will be released gradually over the next month or so.

We hope this will go some way to helping our active members get a name they really like, good luck if you are waiting on one - it may be available sooner than you had imagined!

Cheers,

Steve
