i was wanting to know when you transfer a toon to a new releam, how long does it take for your old name to become unlocked for use.

say i transfer to another server and battlegroup. pick a new name. i transfer back in 30 days, can i get my old name back or does it take longer for it to unlock?

Q u o t e:
iirc, transferring a character opens up the name almost immediately.

^^ This is correct, Hiyohiyo.

When a character transfers off the realm that characters name becomes available for use immediately. Names will only be locked for the 90 day period during a Paid Character Name Change or Character Re-Customization.

If you transfer to another realm and transfer back the name you originally had may not be available upon return.
