Time limits on name parking?

I’m curious if anything in place to deal with name parking?

I’ve tried literally a dozen or more names for characters to get “name unavailable” yet have never seen those names in game.

Ive gone as far as friending the name and 2 cases for names ive used in games for a decade or more, sent the name in game mail to have it bounce back after a month.

I assume when the server went live folks rushed to claim any name they could think of and then jist never played that character.

There are people/companies that do this… they make a bunch of lvl 1’s with commonly used RPG names…. And they probably fish the forums and such to find other sources…

Listen to this guy!

I still have a bunch of level 1 characters standing ready in Anniversary in the (maybe vain) hope that TBC will get a HC mode. If not, I’ll probably delete them.
I might not be alone in saving names for TBC :wink:
