90m names being deleted

[runescapwns]

Hi everyone,

We often see people on these forums asking when a particular name will be freed up. We know it can be a a source of frustration for you when a cool name you really want is sitting on an account that hasn't been played for years. Thanks to Mod Jane who has championed this cause on your behalf - we can now share a bit of information with you regarding account names.

So we've had a good look at all these dormant accounts and identified those who we believe the names should be freed up for. At the same time we do have to respect that some of these accounts may have been members and may have gained some fairly decent game stats, and as they are always welcome to return to the game we wouldn't want to take away names from people who have invested time and effort in their accounts.

As a result of the name review we currently have around 140 million names that will be freed up, we've already released 50 million names, and the other 90 million will be released gradually over the next month or so.

We hope this will go some way to helping our active members get a name they really like, good luck if you are waiting on one - it may be available sooner than you had imagined!

Cheers,

Steve

I don't know if there's a thread about this already, but this is pretty big

I hope everyone gets the names they want

So they are just going to continue freeing up names from where it has stopped I guess...?

People could get some pretty rare names out of this. You'd just have to create the account at the right time. I doubt members accounts will get touched.

Wonder how they can free up so many names :/

I mean, if some there inactive, but have some work put into them, surely players would be annoyed if they came back to see their username being freed up.

Perm banned names and people who haven't logged in for years and years are the type of names that would be freed up. Remember member accounts would probably be left untouched.

All hell is going to break lose. I don't think I want to be a part of that anymore. Knowning who's out there atm, I'm pretty sure most of the good names are gonna be taken by a handful of people lol.

Thing is will Jagex actually mention when they have cleared the names? Or will they just do it without saying anything? If they posted an announcement, my guess is the account creation servers would crash.

Last time they did it without mentioning anything. That's how a select few people managed to get loads of names before more and more people started to catch on.
