    Also, read the last line "the same name but is associated with an inactive service account". They don't delete inactive accounts right away, but inactive accounts have to be recovered before they can be active again.

    Again, I tried to use the same name on multiple servers before, doesn't work, and I highly doubt, anyone would use the same name i have, let alone have all of the same character names i have.

    EDIT: forgot to add, there's also the JP severs, which have different data centers, and different name servers.
    Because someone on the second server already had your name, duh.

    Yeah, like I said, no. You can even go look it up. Only one with that name, and I CANNOT make other character on other servers, with that name.

    It's called a Name server, and yes, it is real. They're used by international companies, as well as with games. Derp logic on your part.

    The name you're using now, cannot be used anywhere else, meaning it does not exist on other servers. This is to avoid having people with the same name in dungeons(duty finder is cross server), and to avoid making people change their names when they transfer. I know this for a fact, because I tried to do it back during EA, when i wanted to use the same character on multiple servers.


    Basically, once you have a name, you're stuck with it until the character is deleted.
    Lol again I mean common did you just have to chime in because it was my reply lol and yet you where still wrong haha.

    Seen as there is multiple people with same names on different servers that I know yet again you are wrong and seems to be proven further down this post lol do you love being wrong ^^.

    You are incorrect. Look up Kaine Highwind on the the Lodestone. There are 30+ of them across different servers.

    I did want to point out that Secret World does have cross shard name server, but only because chat is shared across all shards.
