Name Change Requirements after World Transfer

[MithraKittie]

Quick question,

I plan to transfer worlds, and this new server used to have a person there with my name. However, they have not played in 5 years. Is there a chance that I could retain my original name, seeing as they haven't played since 2007? Or does the fact that they have already used that name and they "may" re-open their account force me to rename my character?

Thanks,
MithraKittie

depends whether their account still exists or if the character ws deleted
