Tomorrow, at 4pm BST, we’ll be releasing our third - and largest - batch of character names! This time you’ll be able to your paws on a names from I-M.

Head into game and select ‘change name’ in the Hero interface to secure the name you’ve had your eye on.

Check the list out for a little inspiration, but bear in mind that it will quickly become out of date as character names are taken.

• Character Names - A

• Character Names - C

We're publishing the list simultaneously with the release, as we have disabled the name checking function on the website in order to improve performance.

We're always looking for ways to improve things, so in response to your feedback, we’ve tweaked the process related to changing your character name.

For the first 24 hours, players who want to change their name will require a minimum total level of 1000 to do so. This will allow players who have invested time in the game to grab the name they want before newer accounts.

Please note that you can change your name with 1000 total skill level in either RuneScape 3 or Old School. However, you will only be able to use the in-game name change function with 1000 levels in RuneScape 3 – if you only have 1000 skill levels in Old School, you’ll need to change your name by clicking ‘Account’ on the RuneScape website.

Once the 24 hours have passed all members will be able to have a go. Bond redemption (to reset your name-change timer) will not be restricted based on level, but those under 1000 total levels will not be able to take a newly released name.

We've also been working hard to optimise the performance of the website to make things even easier for you.
