There are some pretty great names taken by dead accounts. For example a couple years back I sent a friend request to a level 12 character that had a name I really liked, and to this day that friend request is still pending and that character is still level 12. I've sent one or two parcels asking if he plays anymore which got no response, and if I ever try to whisper it says the character isn't online. I'm just using this as an example, I'd really like a name release.

    eme wont get tired of these posts, cause they quit responding to these last year. its a waste of time making these posts cause they already said over a year ago that they don't have any plans for name releases due to the problems it causes.

    Just mix the name that you want,for example you want the name "vainilla", but is already taken, so be creative.
    You can be vainilla.kun or lovely.vainilla or vainilla.shake or chocolate.chan. tequila.sempai etc.

    Is more funny than a basic name an takes seconds.

    Hopefully with all these posts they'll get tired and create a bot that spits out a generic reply and even closes these threads.

    It's not a pleasant way to force people back to the game, and if people miss the memo for whatever reason (lost access to that account, deployed, whatever), they get super-mad whenever they do return (and then may never come back). A lot of people take their character names seriously.

    Granted, there are people who will never come back even if their name is at risk, but there's no perfect way to distinguish (even if you do it by level/emp purchased/play time/whatever). And, there are actually still a lot of good names available actually, even if it isn't the exact name someone wants.

    If there were such a huge influx of people that names were in high demand (e.g. when Steam launched originally) then it makes sense. But absent that, might as well wait until there's a reason you have to do it anyway, if that happens.
