We're Freeing up Old Character Names

Can't wait to get my old name 'Athene' back!
how far back are "old character" names are free'd up? just ones in 2011?
Nice change.
Finally a penalty for quitters!
This is awesome. Hopefully I can get the original ScythA. I'd be so damn happy.

But will our already made characters have an one time optional name change (that you will be able to either use or not use within the first week then it goes away). Because there is no name change feature in this game for already made characters; it wouldn't be fair that if people come back after 1+ years, then their already made characters get the option to be renamed free of charge and free of having to make a new character and re-level all the way up again.


If you email support they'll change a character's name for you no problem. They've done a few for me. People need to not be dinks and inundate support with requests though.

Just want to absolutely clarify - if I have accessed my account at all in the last year, all my character names are safe?


yes


From the OP:

"Every character on an account accessed recently is safe, and that duration is set to an entire year."

So yeah, Slurms wins.

Thanks for the info. :)
Dammit, Sexcalibure is still active and I guess so is his character. :D
Good to hear you're freeing up some names. :D

Just to confirm for the following, Characters (Last Login Date)
Pretty sure any means any.


Well I was hoping for that, but when reading the above I read it as:

- if you log into a character (any character) on an account in the last year.
- then that character name cannot be taken.

Looks like that isn't that case, which is great and means I won't have to log into all my favourite old characters. :)

BTW it is great that GGG are freeing these up.
