Whats not rare?
1. Three(3) Character Names – It’s going to be a very long time before these get rare. Ex of a 3 letter: H6L or Q9a. Don’t be fooled when someone says selling Rare Names and it’s a page of 3 letters. There are thousands of combinations for 3 letters. Only exceptions of a rare 3 letter are: words, abbreviations, and ones with a space between them ex: “X D” or triple pairs ex: “555”
2. Multiple Characters – Examples are: “iiiiiil tank iil” or “i1l1 Pure i1l1“ These names are pitiful and are just hard to look up or say.
3. Made Up Words – Example: “Pwnzilla” “Killzor” Can’t really blame you for making them because it’s hard getting a decent name on Runescape anymore. Just don’t go around saying they’re Rare.
4. Dictionary Words - Example: ”agoraphobia” “narcolepsy” Again, can’t blame you for making them, but it doesn’t mean you have a rare name just because it’s a word. I mean seriously majority of us who play are 11-18. What kind of nerd is going to know what phobia you have. I’d rather see I 0wn3d you 1L then one of these account names.
5. Past(ed), Present Tense (ing) and Plural Forms(s) – Examples: “Bewildered” “Checking” “Advisements” They are pretty tough to make but there is so many accounts like this around. I beg you guys don’t consider these types of accounts rare unless it’s a name like “owned”
6. Accounts With More Than One Word – Examples: “Gmaul Owns” “Fast Ddsing” “Own3d 0nce3” These kinds of names aren’t rare. They don’t even look rare so don't bother to say it is.
7. Any Account With Numbers In Them - Examples: “Coolkid224” “Owner353” Not rare at all. It has extra characters in it that aren't necessary or replacing vowels. It's only rare is if the name is repeated with the same number ie: 1111
8.Space Names – Examples: "Y---O---U, R----A--G--E, L------L"
With the new Display name change that Jagex has implemented. these names are once again available. Considering this, why should they be classified as "rare" when there could be hundreds of thousands of these "space names. So you could put as many spaces as you want, and the name would be available.
Note that Jagex looks down upon this and WILL change your name for you if you do get caught. You can still make them however.
