Title: Question on names reserved by banned accounts....
Post by: Haruwa on September 19, 2008, 02:21:58 pm

Say just curious since I know some people including me have wanted names that are already taken but on inactive accounts so I have a question. If an account is banned for botting or what have you but has a name someone wants can they take that name then. Since there's no possible way the person could come back to it anyways no matter how much time passed it might be kinda fair and maybe free up a few of the names some people want. Just curious I fail quite a bit so I wouldn't know the finer workings of that kinda thing. TT.TT

you'd hate to report someone for boting then awhile later see someone with the same name runing around after the gms sayd they baned him /swt
it does get abit hard to make give ur chars creative names each time tough ~nyo^^

Seems like quite an annoying thing for the GMs to do, they'd have to make it a service if it was possible. Also it could cause confusion like "omg i reported boter but now he's back!!! them GMs must be corrupt and accepted bribes", although it'd be a rare case it could still happen.

Who honestly cares about originality? Nothing is original on the internets.

Really I just thought about it because of a comment made in a conversation. Basically if someone knows there are popular names and that person doesn't really care about the game they'd try to get those popular names or the names they know people would like banned just for the fun of it. It's annoying not to mention if they have multiple accounts yeah the one that was reported is banned but so are the other anonymously named characters on that account. For every 1 banned 3 and now up to 5 names can be lost for good and a lot of the accounts have more than one lost since I believe it bans everything connected to that e-mail.
