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.
I am not a kid and not everyone here is a kid. I am not insane either. I sure as heck know how to read. Your guarantee on typing up a list was made without much thought. Programs can be created to compile a list of names and spit it on a sheet of paper for us to see. How do you think they find these 50 million accounts?
Here is an exact quote from the OP.
"We’ll be releasing a list of the names we’ve made available, in batches, within the next few weeks."
Maybe you should learn to read or at least learn to think before you speak.
If there is to be a list (which according to Mod Balance's post earlier, it appears there will be), I'm sure everyone is wondering where it will be posted? And will there be some sort of countdown, or will the best names simply go to those who are lucky enough to see the posted list first?

We have seen a number of you have been concerned that some display names would be released. For that reason, we have opened up
this thread
which allows you to submit a name which should not be released****;small><center>

Apparently my daughters name Babymonk has already been released, as when she managed to log in yesterday she was told the name was gone and to change her name, but she still logs in under Babymonk. (which was our old nickname for her
0
She did change her display name to 0iceheart0, and is not worried about it being a new display name, but hers was an old free account she hadn't used for years, and previously she she hadn't been able to log in as had forgotten her pass.
I told her about the names being released so she was checking
i am not sure if she was able to remember her pass after we discussed some details about when she was playing that triggered her memory, or she was able to reset her pass. The good thing is she seems keen to start playing again tho prob as a free player.
Just mentioning her name so you can follow up on this in case someone else hits this problem
Still waiting for a reply from a mod as to HOW my daughter lost her babymonk display name, since the names haven't been released yet.
It seems old names from the 2004-2005 era must have been released previously.
I think it would be better for there not to be a list of the released names posted. Let the reward of finding a 'rare' name go to those who put a little effort into it.
Also, (i'm a little bias here) but what about the idea of throwing the names out to Premium Members first? It'd be a nice reward for the loyal players.
And to prevent name sellers/hoardings what about making it so that you have to have say 300+ total level to obtain one of the names in the first 48hrs?

They already have an automatic system that releases names periodically. I don't know if the criterias are the same as this huge name cleanup but I've also lost names on some alts. That system haven't been releasing names in such a huge scale though and as so few are affected I doubt many people know about it.
