Inactive character names?

They should implement a time-limit amount on a character name if they haven't logged into the game for several months. Priority should be given to active subscribers with a longer sub history - not those that played for a month and disappeared for good. If they ever resub, then they just have to change their name.

They probably won't do that seeing it's bad business practice. SE and all MMO companies know as long as that character is there, there is a chance that person will come back. FFXI had the Restoration Project where people who had been gone 2, 3, 4+ years could come back to the same character, same name etc...

Unfortunately, unless SE changes it's stance on how long it will hold unto a character, I doubt they OP will be able to get that character name.

SE also allows people to pay for 40 character for 14.99 a month, or 8 characters for 9.99. Could very well be someones alt on an active account that the person hasn't used yet. If that is true, then the account is active and being used, just not that character and SE won't touch an active account's characters.
