Timed Name Release

[Keydah]

I think you should be coming up with a unique name for your character anyways. The only people who would have a problem with it is people who try to come up with silly names (Strawberry Shortcake, etc) that aren't actually names, or people who want a character named Daenerys Targaryen because they're completely uncreative. Though the latter doesn't get stopped anyways...Apparently there's a million ways you can misspell those so that you can use them...

If someone's account has been cancelled or permanenently banned though, I think the names should be released. They'll never come back to that account, because they're either permanently banned or they can't get their account back because they cancelled the service account, so there's no reason for their character's name (or the character itself, honestly) to be sitting there taking up space.

Being inactive or temporarily suspended shouldn't be a reason to lose your character's name. That'd be rude. I take breaks from the game, some long, some short - I'm sure there'll be a break in the future that's longer than 6 months and if I were to lose my miqo'te's name (or my Au Ra's in a few months) I'd be very, very sad.
