Rare names available again

[Runecrafting]

Jagex did something decent

Character Names

Over the coming weeks, we're planning to free up millions of unused character names (previously known as display names) for you to use. A character name is considered unused if it fulfills ALL of the following criteria:
It hasn’t been logged into in the last year
It hasn’t been used to purchase any membership
It has no RuneScape skills of level 30 or above
Note: If you are a free player, you will retain your character name if you have logged into your account in the past year, or if you have any skills over level 30.

You will still be able to use your account if your character name has been reclaimed. An interface will pop up and ask you for a character name when you log in.

Unused character names will become available as we identify them, and we'll keep you up-to-date as the process goes on. In the meantime, if you've had your eye on a specific character name, it may be worth finding out if it's available!

Where is the source?

 

[Sacro]

Pretty cool. I hope I can get one!

 

[I Buy Pins I]

Did they release names already? I can't change display name for few weeks :\

 

[Aroxez]

They haven't released them yet, but they will be very soon.

 

[Mr Smith]

Will it change the log-in name too?

 

[Ricky]

Will it change the log-in name too?

No no only display names

 

[Deathprone]

Ugh, making new accounts will be a pain now. Since this update also includes that you have to make a new account with an email address and not a username...

 

[daveman9000]

how is that a pain? go make a few dozen email accounts, it only takes a few minutes.

 

[WeRnIE]

But that will slow botters, they will need to create an email for each account

 

[Swangy]

wait. one email account PER rs account? seriously?

 

[Simple]

Honestly Jagex is stupid. They're "trying" to make it complicated for botters. -.-

 

[Ikr]

I will get one, and I hope someones account doesn't get Blowed over.

That would suck if they had like, a phat and got reset.

 

[monk65]

I'm hoping to grab onto a few rare names , Any idea when the reset is happening?

 

[Freshintake]

LOL they copy World Of Warcraft in every single way.

Only the account's display name will be taken. The account's items, etc. won't be effected. You'll just have to create a display name before logging into that account again.

@Runecrafting
Could you please provide your source? Thanks.
