General Discussion - Freeing inactive usernames? - Forum

We should never free inactive names. I never want to see an active "Legolas" ever. Or if you don't like that example, insert some cheesy name from the garbage series known as Game of Thrones.	Posted by zachatta#6556 on Nov 7, 2013, 5:58:17 PM Quote this Post

I had no issue nabbing my name. Curiously enough, creativity is a strongsuit to me. A scion may be born of the rich, and as such hold more opportunity... but a scion will never be able to appreciate the finer beauty of those less fortunate.

You could always ask support@grindinggear.com and they will try to contact the current owner of the names. Maybe they are willing to free them up.

Curious Courtesy Hope Hopee Maritia Mortality ... 85% of the Merriam Webster Disctionary? I'll give you a few examples, sure. Very few one word names that are in english exist still, including real names or just dictionary words; regardless of obscurity.

ive messaged support, and they are unwilling to give me contact details or free up the names, even if the account is inactive.	Posted by Chadtholomew#6197 on Nov 7, 2013, 7:17:37 PM Quote this Post

All that rage about names is so funny. Especially in game which is designed with character rerolling style events/leagues. It's not wow where you play one sad panda for twenty years.

Perhaps for you, but some of us do not innovate. I plan to play one character for four months. Then the ladder will flip over and I'll make another one when the next ladder starts, and not a moment sooner.
