Putting the list up at the same time as release is complete bullocks. Some of us have had our eye's on a name for a long time now but now people can just browse this list and potentially snipe a name that they had no plans on obtaining before the list was published. Greatly disappointed.

Does this mean that people that have just found out about RuneScape won't be able to make an account for 24 hours after the name release since they are under 1000 total level and can't choose a name?

No, this doesn't apply to brand new accounts, only existing accounts attempting to change their name.

They won't be able to pick a name from the newly freed list, They can still get a name.

Anybody complaining about the total level req, I could get an account to 1000 total level between now and the name release. It's really not difficult

OSRS exclusive players don't have the benefit of 100k exp/hr in all skills.

By the way this would still take 8 hours with 100k exp/hr in all levels doing 1-38 in all skills.

You tried though.

8 hours is nothing for people who can play more than that :p So what Zeus said is still true. 22 hours till the batch, can fit in 2 accounts in that time frame in fact.

I'm sorry OSRS may be disadvantaged due to 1000+ total level but it's there to stop throwaway accounts, which we saw did happen with the last batch.

Can you provide the exact time names will be released? It seems I'm going to have to wake up exactly then so no one snipes my name with this list.

Old school isn't difficult lol

Waterfall quest, grand tree, tree gnome village, fight arena, imp catcher, knights sword, restless ghost and tons of other quests are easy and have no requirements and doing them yields literally hundreds of levels. 30 woodcutting, fishing, range, magic, thieving, hunter all take maybe an hour or two

It's not hard ZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZEUSZE

At least also add in an XP requirement(incase the total level requirement isn't met). Don't forget there are players who only train certain skill such as lets say; Mining, Hunter and Agility.

If they have 99 in those skills, they have spent A LOT of time in the game but yet don't have 1000 total and in a way they get punished for not training every other skill in the game...

Unfortunately I can't, sorry :(

Lifer is right, 1pm BST :)
