Inactive FC has a name I'd like to use

FC and Player names need to be recycled after a certain amount of time. Not 45 days like housing but maybe 6 months to a year I think is good. If you haven't played in 6 months its a good chance you're not coming back anyway. So many great names are tied up by people who quit to never return.

Spent 4 years inactive, I'm rather happy to find both my name and Linkshell still intact. Never did upgrade to a FC, maybe I ought to fix that. Food for thought at any rate, Not everyone that drops for 6 month to a year (or more) is gone for good.

100% disagree.
Be more original with your name.

I really would not like this to happen. Recycling Player names is a nightmare. That would just cause confusion. While thankfully a player is linked to a lodestone ID (remember when internet companies thought it a great idea to recycle emails and the security problems that followed?), if someone has that player on their friend's list....if they get recycled...what are you going to renamed the player that was inactive?
