Is there a list/place where I can see all the unavailable names that will become available?


No. It clearly states in the newspost that they won't be released a list of the names that will be available.

I feel like this will just be a tad bit counter productive, people that sell/buy names will just have their bots set up to claim these names in the first few seconds that they're available, anyone else will miss out and we'll just land back to where we are right now.

It sucks that some of us have to wait another month for the name they want. Rather than releasing a letter a day, couldn't you just release, say 1-3 letters per day? This way it can still preserve the website from crashing and people wouldn't have to wait as long to get their chosen name.

Also, releasing a letter a day will cause people to miss out on the names they truly want since some of us have multiples names we're going for, and by releasing a letter a day, you're risking the name that is, say currently released for the name that will be released in the upcoming weeks. It's a risk that not many people are willing to take. If you are willing to take that risk, it's like playing Russian Roulette. You can miss out on both options.

One more thing I might add is the limited amount of requirements. I don't think being a member should be the only requirement due to the ease of name hoarding accounts. There should be a certain total level requirement too (say 750 tl) in order to combat name hoarders who make accounts to specifically sell off names.

All in all, this is a great update and many of us have been waiting for a long time! Let's all hope we get the names we wanted. (fingers crossed).

Nobody will know any of the names that are being released this time, which should help prevent that from happening.

If you're able to add the name to your friends list, it means that it's currently associated with an account. All of the inactive names have already been freed up in preparation for the name release.


Where did you find this information?
Because if what you said is true then potential name releases would be narrowed down by a ton.

If you've added names the moment the news was announced a few months ago and those names now have a playerhash like "[#A98DSQ6]" you know it'll become available. All they have to do is calculate what day the names become available and keep the scripts ready. Without the minimum of Total Level/XP it's gonna be quite easy for them.

What a fken bad idea.
Not like i care about this name but some ppl could have "rare" names on accounts what they are using.
I DONT think this is a good idea.

Whole runescape is going so bad that at least now "these days players" will stop playing this.
I understand if its like giving names that are banned/unused or accounts what have been offline like 2years and are really unused.

IF its like giving names like Zezima/rare names wich are daily/weekly/monthly online and really In use DONT fken give those out.
Some of you idiot "mods" or whole "company" just got a shttiest plan ever.
If you are going so low to give these "names" to ppl who dont deserve them just stop updating this game. Name's must be unique for each player and a fken holy thing for those who have rare name. DONT TOUCH!
People might had a luck to get one of the names they really like and you giving them away?
I DONT really know where this game is going.
Info me if im wrong but i just understood this "name giving" as ike every fken name is going to recycle at day 13.

Think twice for real.

I dont think these ppl dont deserve all those rare names.

Please answer me. Any mod or other "wanna be jagex" or the guy who just got this terrible idea!
From ppl around the world: Mad AF if this meaning everybodys unique name is recycled. :@

This name release is the update of the year in my book. I want like 15+ names so I'm sure this will be fun. It's good that there won't be a name list and I'm glad there may not be a total level requirement this time. (There really wasn't a point in having it last time either because it's easy to get around using an account that doesn't have 1k total).

You should read the article(s) next time, they said it's only from inactive accounts. F2P 6 months andd P2P 12 months if I recall correctly. If you've logged in the past 6 months and haven't received an e-mail then you're safe.
