Please note, for this name release we will not be publishing a list of names that will be released.

This is the perfect example of finding a needle in a haystack. You expect players to spend all damn day typing in names that may or may not be included?

By not publishing a list of all of the freed-up names, it helps those who already know which name they're interested in be able to get it.

If you know the name(s) you're after, there shouldn't be any need to see a list of all the available names. :)


Once you type that name you wanted and more than likely find out its taken, you're SOL. The advantage of a list would be seeing names you never thought would be available are free.

Lets say i really wanted the name...
Cabal
. Its taken, but i'd have no idea the name
Kabal, Caba1
, or variants of the name were available.

Maybe i never thought about being named
John
, but that name perchance becomes available.... and i can take it.

Basically, there are names made available I might want, if i knew they were there.... but i don't.

The criteria were 2 years without logging in for accounts that have been a member in the past, and 6 months without logging in for accounts that have never been a member.

Even if the account has low levels and not a lot of progress, it's possible that the account owner logged in to the account in order to keep it from being deemed inactive. Prior to the name release, to-be-affected accounts were sent emails letting them know that they would need to log in to keep their names from being freed up with the name release.

Do all the names get released in one go when the game message is shown? Or are they slowly released during a set time period?

They're only releasing one letter's names per day, but once they're released, all of those names are released together.
