So if names are only available to members, would name checkers still work?
'I DO NOT PARTAKE IN ANY BLACK MARKET FORUMS'
Of course not, buddy.
Name checkers will still work.
Lol, when you make an account you are able to chose a name. It's not only available to members only...?
Mods have already said that they can't be taken on a new account.
As in on the create an account screen they won't be available.
What if they change the name changing system? And the way you can check name availability?
I honestly think they'll make it harder to check for available names to discourage people from checking names non stop and thus trying to stop name hoarders?
It's all speculation/guessing though
Fuck Yes no more name sniping!!!!!
1) Someone here mentioned names turning into numbers. I've only been seeing "add friend unknown player"
2) Did they start with 0-9? or will that come later?
and lol oooh i have a C-name that hasn't been made into Unkown player YET it has NO skills only recently logged in :3
By numbers they mean force changed to [#349FJDFG93]
Anything not switched to that won't be released.
Yea same happened to me, i have like several accounts linked to my main email, 3 names got removed and I didn't receive any notification, at all. Ah well ..EDIT: So yes guys, I logged on one of my names to find it having been cleared up, but not released fully... no notification so i lost it, and I can't even change back on the original account! Shame jagex doesn't let people get their names back without FIGHTING for it :/

And I think they'll do 0-9 at the very end.
By the way 2332, you won't see names turn into #236552 when you've just added them because that's just not possible as they don't hold the name anymore you tried to add. The only way you'll get #565312 names in your friendlist is when you've added them before their name got removed.
Thank you for this information, I couldn't be bothered checking to see if that method was illegitimate, or legitimate.
