There always is more to the story. Every. Single. Time.
Also, why are you letting this person live rent free in your head for over a decade?

You could always use a slightly different version of the same name. Use a high ascii letter for one of the letters and then you have your name.
Seems like the guy had some idea you might be doing this, the odds of someone just waiting around for the second you to do this are just mind blowing.

People have been way too kind by feeding into your strange and unusual paranoia that someone for half a decade has been attempting to steal a name from you on WoW and that in the ā20 secondsā that it took for you make a new character they just happened to be sitting there at their desk with it typed in and āstoleā it. I think you should reflect.
In your own words;

Looking at all this, you seem well aware that a level 1 character does not lock a name to an account. It has not since at least well before Warlords, as you were shown in a link.
You seem to be looking for a āgot yaā quote from the Blues or GMs so that you can spread a story that Blizzard CS is at fault and somehow a participant, or supporter, of petty name sniping behavior.
NOBODY thinks that name sniping and the years long squabble you are having is ok. It is pretty mean behavior. Nobody SUPPORTS that. Nobody. If you are trying to get a quote making it look like it is āsupportedā, that seems manipulative and misleading on your part. Esp given your goal is to spread it on social media and through your networks of friends and associates. It would be blatantly false.
Your feud with this person, and their behavior is not something Supported by, or caused by, Blizzard or anyone here.
CS does not make the game. They don 't make the rules on how name releases work. The name release system is determined by the Developers who really have no involvement in your personal squabble. They intend for level 1 chars to have the name released immediately.
You were given the tools to lock the name to your account by leveling the name holding character. Tools that have been in place for over a decade with a name release system that has been in place for over a decade.
GMs can not assist you with this. The game is functioning exactly as the Developers designed it. You will likely not get a refund for the used character service either. You purchased a service and used that service which worked exactly as it was supposed to. The refund policy will only refund unused services within 14 days of purchase.
Nobody supports people being jerks, but none of this is Blizzardās fault and you attempting to blame Blizzard, and hunt for statements pretending they āsupportā the other player, is just plain misleading and wrong. You are the one who did not level the character enough to lock then name, not Blizzard. Blizzard is not going to step in to this - and it is not because they support the other player, it is because the game is working as designed.

For any to do this to you they have to know you. Had information that you planned the name change and all. Not random

Itās completely wild that such a relationship between two people can theoretically exist where they go years of animosity, to the point where when one person deletes a character, this other person is just waiting to steal the name and then lord it over the other person.
That makes the villain in Old Boy look tame in sheer levels of pettiness.

^ I do this anytime I get a name I want to change. It takes less then an hour to do that starter zone and even less for an allied race. Log in with the name holder, pick up the tabard or whatever. Establish it. Then it can hold the name for you. Just donāt delete it until before you name change.
Level 10ās can be undeleted, so they will set in reserve for 90 days. Still, itās better to delete them right before you go to use the name.

CS can go ahead and close this thread down if you like. Clearly people are attempting a dogpile now. Lluagor is someone whom Iāve never met but hey, if through some million dollar moment it turns out he has the name , (99.99999% chance repeating, that he doesnāt) then I think that proves intent given what I outlined and Iāll leave the rest to you guys.
Stop bumping this thread in any event. Thereās other people with more pressing issues.
Again, you wanted to misrepresent the behavior of the ājerkā as acceptable to Vrak and Orly. You donāt do that to people you consider āfriendsā. As I said before, no, it is not acceptable and you wanted to get them on record saying so - your own words.
Jerks in game are not ok, but that does not mean the behavior is āsupportedā. The name change system is working as the Devs programmed it and there is nothing CS can do about that. That does not mean they support people being jerks - and I really donāt think I misrepresented your intent.

Does not matter if they intend to do anything! The name was available for someone else to take. You should be the one to make sure no one, NO ONE PERSON knows what your planing on doing. Even better like others said to level up the alt holding the name to tie it to your bnet account when deleted.

I am sorry, but no I was not insinuating anything. You clearly stated in your own words you wanted Vrak and Orly on record saying it was acceptable behavior so you could share it and āwarnā people that Blizzard accepts this.

Just to clarify, Lurozos, is this on Silver Hand or Wyrmrest Accord?
You have characters on both, but I see a recently deleted character with the name you mentioned in your ticket on Silver Hand, but the āemailā you sent went to a character on Wyrmrest Accord.
The name does appear to be available on Silver Hand.
If someone is contacting you from a discord channel you belong to, they are simply messing with you. The name has been taken on Wyrmrest Accord by the character that currently has it for a very long time. They didnāt take it from you.
You may have created an issue out of nothing by mixing up the realm you had the character holding the name, because that appears to have been Silver Hand, not Wyrmrest Accord.
In fact, I would say if you were to attempt to create a character with that name on Wyrmrest Accord, it may free up the name.
That is how the name release system works, by the way. If the account is considered inactive, qualifying for a name release, nothing really changes until/unless someone attempts to create a new character with that name. When that happens, the system checks to see if the name can be released. If so, it will change the current character with the name and allow the name to be used on the new character.
Youād want to log into that character then you can log out and delete it, and use the name change option to rename the character you want to have the name.

Well. This explains a hell of a lot, and clearly I made a mistake based off what youāve said.
Iāll own it however and apologize outright to you Vrak if this was a time waste. I know you are aware that Iāve had a few issues with pretty cancerous and spiteful people over the years. Hell most of my tickets over the years have been due to being harassed by a small group of people, and their usual modus operandi has been to name-pinch.
Looks like what happened, and this is my guess at events; (which Iām SURE people will conspiracy theory about but w/e). Because of the new Warband system, I thought the character when I got the name back, it was a name being made on Wyrmrest Accord.
It actually made me very happy as I thought āFinally justice.ā. But you are now telling me it was made on Silver Hand? Well this is definitely something that I can see happening, as I remember logging into my Paladin over there, shortly before I discovered the name was free. Likely didnāt realize that I was still on Silver Hand and so it totally went under the radar for me. I thought it was on Wyrmrest Accord, but your telling me it was on Silver Hand? Well as I said earlier, thems the breaks.
The one bit of good news is that at least I know now that when I mentioned the name theft to someone on Discord and 10 minutes later I was being gaslit with a demand for gold if I wanted the nameā¦ I found another false friend and so found another for ignore.
As for the rest Mira. Try not to conflate opinions as being ātruthā, youāll find quite often in life your mistaken. As for Bearglove. Your a cool fellow and I appreciate the levity. Sorry to trouble you Vrak, if you could delete the charnel waste pit of a thread Iād made on WRA to try and spare others dealing with what I thought I was, Iād be deeply obliged sir.
Frankly the WRA forums remind me of that āmomentā in Diablo 1. Your low on health, you open the door and suddenlyā¦ masses of Fallen Ones stalking you across the map, gathering more and more and more; making incoherent statements or rants (like the removed post). First time time there, last time there.
Not really. Iām sorry you feel that way however. Iāve never once said I was the most intelligent person alive. But at the very least, I donāt mind admitting when I get it wrong, and since I trust Vrakthris words it appears I did get it wrong.
Deleted.
Have you tried to claim the name on Wyrmrest yet? As far as I can tell the account that currently holds the name on Wyrmrest Accord has been inactive for some time. It should qualify.

I tried again but it says the name is still taken. Something may be stuck. Will try a relog.
Thanks also for the deletion of the other thread man.
It looks like it may still be considered taken.
Iām going to check that out because as far as I know this name should be available for reuse. Iāll update the thread as soon as I know anything.
