    I know that Blizzard could free up a character name for inactive characters if you contact a GM. Note that I said "could" because it may not always be possible.

    Yeah, but on the other hand, character names in WoW were restricted to just a single name. If you wanted to be named "David", and the only other "David" was a lv 1 character on an account that hadn't been touched in 2 years, they would give you the name and flag the other character for a free rename. In FFXIV you could be "David Bowman", "David Axeman", etc. Naming is much more flexible with surnames available.

    I was considering this the other day when I was thinking of starting an Au Ra dude named "Trogdor". "Trogdor Burninator" is taken, but "Trogdor Theburninator" and "Trogdor Dragonman" are both available on my server. Ooh, for ultimate lame names stolen from other media, how about "Trogdor Targaryen"?
