Definitely add something which prevents any account which has been created within last 30-60 days before the name was released, including members, from being able to get it so people don't just horde names again. This would make it so those who have been watching an inactive display name (which meets the criteria for release now) for 7 years can get a chance at it.

Are there going to be certain times of when the names will be released?

We'll give more info in a couple of weeks when we're closer to releasing the names.
Would you prefer an exact time or a vaguer hint at when it'll happen?

Im just curious how its going to work for people all around the world. Least the way i see it, people in England will have a high chance to get a name well before anyone else seeing as people in the us are 4-8 hours behind (idk about others). The names will go fast and i know not everyone is capable or willing to stay up till early morning hours as they have work, and other commitments. Im not so sure providing a list is the best option.

PLEASE implement some kind of skill level immunity. Like, any player with over 1000 skill total is immune to having their name stolen. Otherwise, this is a VERY VERY bad idea. We are struggling enough as it is to have enough players to keep this game running. The last thing we need is for an old member to want to return to the game only to find their name stolen.

I for one have taken leaves of absence from this game that were longer than 2 years at a time. If I ever returned and found my name forcefully taken, there is no way I would have resubscribed and started playing again. You are really ******** yourselves over here Jagex, with very little gain.

A better way to try and make some money would be to simply make ALL name changes require a bond. But don't do this name-stealing crap, PLEASE FOR THE SAKE OF THE FUTURE OF THE GAME. WE NEED TO RETAIN ANY RETURNING MEMBERS THAT WE CAN

If this system is implemented, then it should be done alongside a new system that is based on the principle that everyone should have the right to own their login name as display name. This would be to protect returning players who used the name to create their account.

If a player returns and had their name freed, he should get the one-time possibility to either request it back or to leave it. This could be done by being prompted about it upon logging in the first couple of times after returning.

Note: this only counts for actual login names, not for display names that the player may have owned at some point.
