Hello @Based!
Welcome to the forums!
Regarding your question and based on the official post statement: “their name will be recycled for reuse after a 60 day period passes.” Meaning the name will be available for picking, to everyone on that Region after said period.
I hope this clarifies the situation. Let me know if you have other questions.
Have a good day!
what about him? will he be able to choose the name inside of the 60 days? that part isn’t clear.
So am I allowed to pick the name again on a new character within the 60 day period? If not, why lock it for 60 days?
just create a dummy char on one server play it for a few mins then delete and try to start a char with same name on another server… likely the easiest way to confirm.
After 60 Days its free for all incl. him. Before the 60 days its locked for everybody, also for him
whats the point in locking characters for 60 days then lol
Because they unlock it manually
why patch it so it locks it automatically then? currently you can reuse char names immediately, i see no point at all to changing it so it locks it for 60 days
you cannot reuse it immediately, thats blocked from the start after lvl 10
Remove the 60-day wait if we can’t use the name again, that at a certain level if it’s instantaneous but then it won’t be anymore I don’t see any point in it, if I try a character and I don’t like it I can’t use that name even inside 2 months? please remove it
i’ve been able to reuse my names multiple times to swap classes already, i dont see the point in making me NOT be able to do that lol
How long do I have to wait?
I have deleted 3 chars (waited for 24 hours, now they are gone) but my names are still locked hours after the total deletion.
supposedly 60 days, unless the chars were under lvl 11, on which case you can remake after 30-45 seconds
I just found out the hard way.
During the Head Start I created my characters on Zinnervale. Due to the queue times I tried to move them later on to one of the brand new servers.
I waited the 24 hours deletion cooldown (for characters I spent only few minutes on) and now the names are locked for 60 days…
And as mentioned before, I can’t think of a good reason for this rule if the one that releases the name is locked out too.
So for the moment I guess my only option is to create a reminder in my calendar to reclaim them back in two months, plus I won’t be able to reclaim the Founder’s Pack before tonight 8 PM UTC (for the Founder’s Pack Redemptions bonus) on the character I wanted…
Please remove this rule, also move up the level before those kind of rules apply, level 11 can be done in less than 30 minutes…
Hey man, I got a level 11, any idea if i can remake that guy or am i locked out if i try? lol
Hi there, I just noticed this post.
A character Level 11 or higher, when they are deleted their name will be recycled for reuse after a 60 day period passes @Based .
Just in case, here is the official post as reference: Update to Character Name Deletion
Hope this information helps, stay safe everyone.
is there a way to speed this up if asked? cuz i really dont want to wait 60 days to reuse my name. Its a very unique name, its also my twitch name and i use everywhere. No one is gonna use it. Is there a way to possibly get it opened up sooner? seems very dumb to have to wait 60days to use my own name i created!
Unfortunately, there is none.
Thank you for your understanding.
Hey Stooh, thanks for the reply. But why implement this? It didn’t work this way at the start, I could delete characters and reuse them even at level 14. So I don’t see why you would allow level 10s to be remade but not 11’s? It was perfectly fine the way it was. Why make the change just to upset the playerbase?
I figured after level 11 it would be “tied to your account” to be remade, but it doesn’t look like that is true, based on your reply.
Any idea why you guys changed it to work this way?
Basically I’m wondering why lock the name for 60 days at all? Obviously you have the tech already working to allow character names to automatically clear (at level 10, and it WAS working that way after level 10 as well) but it seems like you’ve changed it to lock the character name for no reason at all.
Hi there
I am not entirely sure if you are talking about the alpha or beta version, but as far as I am aware, we didn’t have that option on the live version of the game.
The name needs to be manually released from the database for a player to use the same name and we implemented a rule to release the name after the character was deleted.
The name will be released right away if it is a lv10, name will release after 60 days if the character is lv11 or higher. Don’t quote me on this as the full answer to lot more complex than this but I hope it gives you at least some clarity on this regard.
I will try to corroborate this info later on and I’ll gladly update this post if I am wrong.
Thank you for the understanding.
