Void the names of inactive players.

Nope to this thread. Although, I'd suggest to the developers to implement naming your characters with numbers not alphanumeric so we could name our characters creatively. A risk of scamming and annoying whisper mode could take place, but it will alleviate this issue.

Thank you for you irrelevant opinion.
Well, to be honest, something I had suggested before, and still prefer as the best option, is if everyone simply can pick any name - no exclusivity - and you simply have a number assoaciated to your account added to your name when more than 1 player with that name are present in a party.

Example:

bananaman account has a character named Sephiroth.
strawhat accout has one too.

when both are in the same party, bananaman shows Sephiroth.1337 and strawhat has Sephiroth.1443

I love how entitled people have become. This is a f2p game, there is nothing you did to entitle yourself to keeping your name.

I think having a cash shop item to lock your name permanently would be a great addition when this system gets implemented.

On a serious note, I think this topic has been brought up here (with a GGG post).

On a side note, I recommend you to take a look at the names reserved by the GGG staff members since their character names are publicly displayed since 1.0.0.

Spoiler
I'm actually going to use these names though! Waiting on technical limitations before leveling up new characters.

Edit: The keyword is unused accounts, not unused characters. There should no reason for characters to have time limits; it should be account based. I think that Diablo 2 putting the timer on characters (instead of accounts) was a horrible idea. If all characters required level 50, people will level it up to level 50 and leave it there. If the timer was every 90 days, people would refresh them all on the 89th day. The idea to recycle old names should be thought out so new players can have some good names while veteran players don't have to follow punitive arbitrary standards.


I dont think a system like Diablo 2's character expiration system is a good idea. The character should NEVER be deleted. If you have not logged onto your account for 6 months, when you attempt to come back and play your character you will have to rename him, maybe your old name is still available, maybe not.

You should not be able to hold onto a name for 10 years without ever having plans to come back.
GGG should just figure out a way that allows duplicate names to exist in different accounts.

Yup, as I said in my previous post.

You would always see your own character's name without suffix (like Carelessbear).
You would see other characters with the same name with an account-specific suffix (like Carelessbear.1555, or Carelessbear (1555))
