For FF14, I completely agree that if a character hasn't been logged into for say... 60 days, then the name should be up for grabs.

Normally I don't agree with that on other MMOs, because in most other MMOs you only have 1 class per character. So I would often claim names for several characters because I knew I would play other classes.

But since we can do all jobs with 1 character in FF14, I can't see any reason to have alts you don't touch just to have names claimed. It's just selfish at that point. If you play the alts, that's a different story.
