    Once you have used that name, however, I don't think it is reserved anymore. Therefore if you delete your character someone else could theoretically take that name. It had been reserved, then used, and then discarded. I don't think there is a permanent reservation.

    But again, not sure. Will confirm next week.

    Happy New Years!

    Gary,

    The way it worked before was that it was a permanent reservation so even if one deleted the name - nobody was able to take the name from you. Why the system has changed, I do not know. In reality, changing the system now will just open up more name selling/name stealing and potential scams.
