Name taken? - Blue Tracker

#0 - Sept. 7, 2010, 7:16 p.m.

I recently faction changed one of my toons, and in the process, changed his name. the thing is, I liked the old name and wanted to use it for a newer character, but when I started to make it, it said the name was taken.

my question is: does the game still think the name is in use, or did someone actually manage to grab the name I wanted to use in the short time it's been open? I checked armory and got nothing so if they did they're reserving a name I'm very much attached to. :X

The name I was gonna use is [Removed]

I'm damn unlucky if it was actually taken so fast.

Hi Sniperwhere,

As others have already mentioned, the name gets locked for 90 days.

Q u o t e:
What will happen to the character's old name?

If you opt to change the character's name, the name will be locked from use on the realm for 90 days. You are not required to change the character's name, though; this is simply an option we provide included with the Faction Change.

Let me know if you have any additional questions.
