Please read the full post. All affected accounts will be told via e-mail. Therefore they have ample opportunity to keep the name just by logging into the game once. No-one is stealing anything from anyone.

Mod Balance is off for a holiday according to his twitter. I tried sending a tweet to another mod to see if we'll get a response.

If the player is on to vote, their name won't be on the release list.

Hundreds/thousands of people all searching a database of many millions causes huge server load, we'd rather publish a list for people to read through than have them searching through the tool!

Given that you're releasing millions of names over a relatively short time span, I'd imagine these lists will be considerably long, even if alphabetised. People will still be searching the database rather than read through a list of many pages.

The old tldr syndrome ....

If you're pompous enough to refuse to play again because of your name rather than actually carry on and enjoy the game you used to play then your loss.

What about the people that got their names banned, like me. Like really u ******* change my name to Care Cry?!?!?! why couldnt it be player(x) or atleast something not ***

Don't keep picking names you know are offensive then... Personally, I'd have changed your name to Daft ****.

There's a couple of names I'll look out for, bring it on

Just set up a forum page or something similar to the "changing username system" that tells someone if a username is avaliable. That way people can just look up the name without actually seeing other names. Lol. But Jagex probably already has a plan.

Please do not post lists of names in batches. I do not know the exact details of the release but I hope the released names are not posted anywhere.

They are unlocking 50 million names. I can guarantee you that nobody is typing up a list of 50 million names.

You kids are insane and need to read. There will not be a list.

wait sooo will you guys be unlocking banned names? and my other question is when you guys unlock the names can you make the new accounts that have not been playing more than maybe a month to not be able to get these names. because if you guys do not do that i think it will be no point for this update because there are programs that can instantly set a available name to a account. And if a mod can reply to this that would be awesome.
