[BLOG] Blizzard to reclaim inactive WoW account character names

World of Warcraft has now been around for about ten years. In that time a lot of accounts have been created and with it, a lot of characters too. That means a lot of names so creating new ones must see some difficulties in getting a unique name on your character.



However Blizzard are planning to fix this by reclaiming character names from accounts that have been inactive for a period. The reclaim will come with the implementation of patch 6.2.

The accounts will be ones that haven't been accessed since December 7th 2010, so if you've any names you'd want to keep on an old account make sure you log in before June 24th to be able to keep them.



"Our goal with this great name liberation is to make sure new and returning players have a large and varied pool of names available to choose from," Blizzard wrote on the World of Warcraft blog. "So log in now if you wish to preserve your unused characters’ names for your ongoing journey through Draenor."
Yes that's Minecraft-me in my av. Done by Reiu who is damn talented!
