They are already removing the names from the inactive accounts, alphabetical i think.
When you check their availability they appear as 'banned', which means that they are reserved for the release..

Well, goodluck all on getting the name you want! =)

Definitely not true alphabetical. Though every name I've seen change so far has started with A.

In my sight that's alphabetical as they are removing names starting whit an 'A' ;)

My only issue with the name release is that people who have names reserved to sell will (and I've seen a few that have done this) buy membership for the account, continue to not play it, and keep the name. Unless Jagex is planning to do something about it, I'm sure quite a few names will continue to be inaccessible.

Original message details are unavailable.
if the name im looking for does not have a friends chat, the account isnt found in rs3 or 07 highscores does that mean it will be released?

Well, if they were a member within the last two years, but their membership has since ran out, and they haven't logged on since they added free-to-play to the hiscores, then their name will not be released.

Also, not all players have their friend's chat active, so if they have not setup their friend's chat, you wouldn't be able to join it.

So, if you cannot find the player on the hiscores, it means that it is possible that the name will be released, but there are certain circumstances where the name may not be on the hiscores, but it won't be released.

I suggest that you add the names you want onto your ignore list. Then, when the names are released the name on your ignore list will change to something like [#082H8339L].

Good luck getting the name you want, but I suggest you make a list of a couple possible names, just in-case someone gets the name before you.

Basically this ^ by the way a lot of names that begin with the letter 'A' have been freed up with the placeholder (eg. [#543885384]) but not YET available through name change. I give these accounts <7 days to be available for you all, goodluck guys.

^ Why 7 days? they said they will put up the list and then release them ( next week or something) i dont get it why you say 7 days, 7 days was the time you could safe ur charactername..

To be honest, when the idea of character name change came around it was leaked. Some players were able to change their names before the actual update was released in 2009 unless Jagex has an actual LOCK on the names until they actually decide to release them as available in bulk. I'm assuming 7 days because the last time I saw a name swapped with a placeholder, it took less than 7 days for me to obtain the name for my alternate account which is currently f2p.

My brother lost a very unique name due to him being banned for scamming which he has done a huge amount of I know it is bad that he did those things but I also believe that he will regret it once he realizes he has lost his name could be lost forever he is not currently playing anymore due to the ban being placed on him and has no intention of coming back anytime soon he has not started any new account or anything like that and I also think one of the J mods has his eye on it and will try and take it to be honest as it is appealing to their name.I do not want his name to be lost forever and I do not want to get it white listed either as it may never be able to be re-obtained for him when he eventually gets over the ban and wants his old name back.I want it put on my account otherwise it will most likely be auctioned off like all the other names that are being freed up.I have overwhelming proof that I am his irl brother and the account name has a lot of history to it.I do not want to mention the name in here to risk it being taken at all but please can you contact me about this asap.If he loses his name because of this I wont want to be apart of a game that is like that to be honest because he should be given another chance down the line or let me safeguard his name so he can one day at least get it back.If you would like video proof of me being his real brother just message me please.Thanks for reading this.
