Inactive Names
An Automated Name Freeing system has been implemented that will release the name of any character that has not logged in for a year.
If the name you’re seeking isn’t released yet, or is held by an inactive player, be sure to check back every few days or months!
You can also use the Killboard to see when a character last killed or died to an enemy player, which can tell you if that character is clearly active or not.
