It is possible to delete all banned names so we can use some new names not mixed letters.

I would like that but I dont think it is a good idea.
People will just reserve names on alt and some will get greedy and sell.
Maybe Release all names and allow one name per account but that is still a lot of work.
EDIT:
Another idea would be to make people work for the ign. Hold events where people have to put effort to get ign so they will actually use them and not sell.
Well I personally won't compete for a "loser in real life" scammer's name
A friend of mine was always trash talked because he changed his ign into a scammers old ign, there are good and bad sides to this and I understand why sts doesn't make them available, because in the end they're just names
What do you guys think about a plat-based auction system for banned names?
In addition to this plat-based auction system, we should have a system, when we inspect the player, it shows the last few usernames this person has used. Either that or a unique player Id number because some people will swap back and forth a few times to "mask" the previous usernames used
Wouldn’t this allow cheaters to buy thier igns back ?. I’d rather participate in an auction for limited Faces/Hairs similar to the vampire face instead of running around with some cheater’s old ign.
I also doubt the people who were affected by some of these cheaters/scammers would appreciate seeing their igns running around as well. Keep them banned.
Ohhh auctioning limited faces. Interesting. Wouldn't this be like making limited time/event-based high-plat face vanity with limited availability in the plat store? Sounds cool, since they can already do it with chests. Maybe just 10 per event or something like that haha.
What’s your point bro? They can still do this now. Next time they will just be using plat to buy the ign so it’s good because they are losing more plat
No one is forcing you to bid for the ign so if you don't want to run around with cheater ign don't buy them. The people who are okay with this will be happy.
A special mask is an event for another time.
Pls dont show username history e.e i hate other players knowing who i am when they saw my igns(not i am a scammer or whatever lol) its just pls forget the past :) and also some intermidate beggers do pm by looking ign that theyve saw in LB etc. Btw i changing my ign a lot like 10+ times every year and idc about short or op igns much
Since we’re auctioning off banned IGN now, how bout LB vanity that were gone with some people who got banned? We can auction those off too
ign's cause nothing but trouble, with an influx of newly released ign's comes a resurgence of name selling which completely destroy's AL socially.
imo, even though some of you guys may want it, i personalyl think that it would be for the greater good if banned igns stayed banned
It already happened once and STS cleared that out - if u got yourself a name you can keep it but they won't do it anymore again, it caused too many problems about illegal name trading. Too many people were reporting to STS that just because they had a name saved on alt it was gone due to that event and they got it back. Many people abused the system with inappropriate names and got banned because of that (or in slight cases renamed). Some people just do giveaways others just give/gift names to eachother. Specific names might look more worth than the others because that does come up with the meaning, as for example nobody would like to run around with name "Desk" when u could get something like idk "Death" right? That leads to name trading so people can feed their ego. Personally I wouldn't like to see names left on a plat based auction where cost of it would probably reach let's say 2000-5000 plats just for the name. Imagine the drama if someone who lost a certain name would see someone else running with it around and went all rant about it. It would just cause too much unnecessary stuff. Just my opinion.
Wow, now we're given an option to bid for names that once avoided ToS, but if you think about it, isn't bidding for names against ToS? Selling igns?
What ever happened to "buy/sell names is illegal, this includes the exchange of anything". You gave up on that? As long as you saw an unexpected oppurtunity that will get you alot of revenue?. Jokes on you breaking your own term?
But lets be realistic here, so aslong as its within the game it would now be fine? Regardless if people buy plat with real currency to purchase or bid for banned names? Yeah this is basically same thing that happens in illegal name selling, people bid in exchange for items, gold or real currency outside game using social media's etc. Aswell as overall increase the prices of names outside, thus incouraging more players into selling/buying or even hording names sigh. (I know this as someone explained).
Please don't be the role model of these acts that breaks your game. Unless all being cared about is plat revenue. [emoji54]
(Posted this just in-case you have it in mind, hopefully this shows you SOME consequences if such. Although this is my opinion about such implementation).

Hard no on this. I think it's best that names die with them. I understand that people want "cool" or short names, but all of this name craze is defeating the purpose of having something unique attached to one's toon. It's already difficult enough to keep track of people changing names every now and then, but those of us with long memories will always attach the personalities and histories of banned names to the original owners.
You've banned people in the past for selling/buying names. So why are you suddenly making that very act legal? Just because it'll get you guys more revenue doesn't mean it's right.
Whoever that is supporting this thread just wanna grab those cool/deceptively pro names and keep it in their account and brag about it later(or u know what)
I am looking forward to see Arcane legends evolve from pay to win to Pay to enjoy
Gratz
I hope they don't add pay to login next year.
No leave igns banned why would you want a ign of a person who was banned
How about pay to enter towns?
I dont like this idea. I do not trust ppl who change their names. Seems like they are hiding the truth about themselves.
Don't judge sts too hard... this is just an area to explore and was suggested due to the question asked. It is no definate.
But also consider,
We dont understand the financial situation sts might be in; this may not be because they want more money but need more. I cant say this for sure but they may not have a choice but to do this because soo many players exploited the game before and maybe they are not making as much money as before so it might be hard to keep the server up/ pay everyone or develop new games/update existing ones. A lot of the end game players dont buy plat like they used to before cuz they are already very rich and i see many complaints about plat offers so they are not effective as they used to be. I see some days have not logged on/ posted or active in chat for month so i assume they are on a break or has family emmergency for now ( I am stalker ik, i usually see what devs read and comment)
I suggest not buying and selling igns at all for 1 and for 2 if people have an ign of someone who broke tos for scamming, harassing, account trading, or anything else they did then they will have tons of individuals pming them bad things because they have an ign of someone who did something bad.
Click the spoiler button :)!
If you were asked, would approach this path? Sell banned names for plat? Just because you assume that STS may not be generating "enough" revenue compared to before? Or to pay for their upkeep + invested profit?
You do know that the community were always giving thousands of ideas to make the game more fun, that in return would apeal to their clients? And yet they want to take the easy route, get rich by selling banned names, and the idea came from a random stranger. Not even themselves I assume.
Examples
- spend more time in designing pets, rather to make them heroic nor recolored nor same pets but different look.
- Investing on guides or content for new clients, perhaps they won't get any revenue for this or they would rather work on something for the Vets that can make them $$$? Which is wrong etcetera etcetera.
- Bring back Pvp. And yet they ignore this as they could forsee.
They're in-need of consideration of implementation of some ideas of the community that truly will make the game attractive. Communication is a must.
How I see it, if they weren't such greed before (started in 2016), when they introduced awakes that destroyed twinks, making them leave, event boss just for cap players, how repetitive the maps are now, or even the failed Dreamscape that further made their clients leave, then they wouldn't be financially unstable atm.
All laziness, whenever they introduce something, it was intended to either push away players or make them buy their product. Hopefully they can fix it with this expansion, not with selling names.
My 1st post was to encourage them that don't implement such, as they will get blinded by the revenue they've gotten and this will start another one etc. Example was the OP reroll event, 1 week became 2 weeks suddenly as they know they'll get tons of revenue.
If they have financial problems, shouldn't it be for them to strive for higher? Think and implement stunning content? As suppose to content that will make us leave? They need to be transparent, failure to do this will result players leaving also.
You covering for them even though majority didn't will only mean that it's a bad decision. You objectifying me w/o a suggestion for improving will only equal to nothing. What do you want next? Pay plat to make banned accounts unbanned? Pay plat to ban someone you don't like? Just to fix their "financial problem"?
