Timed Name Release

[Mettaur]

No, originally I suggest that all the inactive account after a period of time should have the name released so people who wants those names and have an active account will have a chance to get it, especially a new player who never had a chance to pick that name earlier. And if the person come back give them a free name change. Then everyone told me to go to hell lol.

Please don't put words in peoples mouths.

On topic: There have been times where I couldn't play and stopped payment on my account. If I had come back and not had my name I would have been livid.

Like others have said, it's one thing to release the names of account who have a 0% chance of coming back (banned accounts), but for someone who has been an upstanding citizen of this community? A lot of people spend quite a bit of time on their names and characters. They shouldn't be punished just because they have other things to do than play at that point in their lives.

Please don't take everything so literally. Have you seen how many reject posts and how many likes they got? What do you think they are trying to tell me and my proposition?

They were telling you that they think it's a bad idea.

Well, how long did you leave? If you're saying that you left for 6 months and couldn't renew one month to refresh whatever policy SE has on purging old names then I say you didn't care enough about the name to begin with. Even if that's not the policy SE actually has.

If SE had a policy saying it will release names on accounts receiving no payment for 6 consecutive months and I cared, I'd fork up the fourteen bucks and not think twice about it.
