releasing the list and the names simultaneously. seriously?
releasing all names D-H instead of D-F. REALLY?

A-C alone was too much for jagex's systems to handle...

jagex really underplays the amount of potential server lag this will cause.
you'd think they learned from the first batch

so a newly made account with -1000 total level can be given a bond to obtain membership, then use another bond to name change, bypassing the minimum 1000 total level requirement even if it's within the first 24 hours?

If I add the name I want as a friend in game and it actually adds it to my friends list, does that mean that name will 100% not be released?

JAGEX already freed up all the names that it will ever release for the entire name change event A-Z. the names that you can still add are either not THAT inactive, or they received the warning email and logged in to keep holding their names.

it is now a matter of releasing the names since they've already freed up all the ones they intend to free up

Eh, nice.
Two flaws:
1. The lists shouldn't in my opinion be released, some of us have good names that we want and been checking since the first announcement (beginning of July)
2. Should be higher total level (1500+) :P

Question: Will names beginning with numbers be released at all?


The list SHOULDN'T affect those who already have their most desired names planned out AND login at exactly this time. The list actually serves as a distraction for clueless people to sift through while those who planned it out are changing names.
Assuming that there will be no server lag at that time. If there is a great deal of lag, then the list will be the doom of us planners. I think there will be lag though. D-H... c'mon.

Finally! I've been waiting for over a year to get the name I want, even after going through Jagex Support I couldn't get it. If I don't get it tomorrow, I'm going to be one unhappy camper. ;-;


I predict that you will log in 15min before release time, and attempt to change name but get stuck at confirmation screen for 9hours+ then someone else takes it from you.

This is BS!

I cant get in game as I'm at work but can get on website - stupid move Jagex.

Either do on weekend or after 6PM for people in UK who are at work or allow website access!!


"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."

you will still be able to name change via website. it just wont have the pesky availability checking feature. the ingame changers will still have it though

So basically with the name checker disabled we could be trying to change our name for hours to a name that has already been claimed? Only flaw I see.


flaw is counteracted by the fact that you can try to add that name to your ignore list.
if it says "unknown": it's not taken yet, OR it's a name that won't be released, OR you're experiencing server lag due to sheer amount of people changing their names.

if you successfully added the name you wanted, then someone just took the name you wanted

That is correct it will not. If you try and add it to the friends list and it says 'unknown player' then there is a good chance it will be released however.
