I guess it’s a gamble.
Do you take your time tomorrow to actually make your toon properly and hope someone else doesn’t grab your name?
Or do you just grab the name asap, and then on a later date, delete it and remake the toon properly and hope someone else doesn’t grab your name…
Since the toon isn’t level 30+, the name won’t be reserved to your account. The name will be immediately available to everyone after you delete it.
I already know what I want my 3 characters to look like, so that will take all of 15-20 seconds to do for each and name them. I have a list of names for what I am after, so chances are I will most likely get them, even if they aren’t my 1st/2nd pick, the names are all well thought out.
I considered using those special characters / ascii code letters, but decided against it as that could be problematic if someone is trying to get you into a group/raid and they can’t spell your name to invite you.
