    Default Name available no longer?

    So other day i sent a ticket to get a name to see if its been inactive.
    Gnosis replied and said that they dont do that.
    I said that on forums they said you can do that.
    We all know that we could do it before, because many of us did it.
    He said forums lied and was not the right info.
    So did they stop doing this?
    Idk if im aloud to post what was said in ticket, because its a private message through support and idk if we are suppose to make public.
    So if I am I will post it.
    So did i miss a thread about this?

    Yeah i remember i was requesting some names aswell they said the same thing ,
    Unfortunately none of these names are available for recovery.
    Bla Bla
    (Btw Gnosis , i'm the one who always chooses "Bad , I'm unsatisfied")

    Maybe they want you to buy or have 50 plat to rename it , but that doesnt make sense for new un-named toons


    ...or they are just too lazy. :P

    Ofc the re-naming costs 50 plat -.-

    Afaik the reason they stopped passing around the OG inactive names was the reason that many abused re-naming service for their own profit (=name selling).

    People probably started requesting them too much. They generally stop doing favors when people start abusing them. IE, people buying founders helm when they aren't really founders, asking the devs to recover a discontinued wammo that didn't exist, etc.

    Just a few exams I can think of...

    I think they probably got to many requests about that and it's not really their main job, they stopped doing it.

    Hey Mysticalcream, ur implying that torwards me and well, u obviously dont know what your talkin about BECAUSE Mr. Sir Gnosis recovered my wammo, which was MINE. I got support tickets all day showing it. Idk if u know or not but ALL items have a number code, which they use to track ALL items, an where they go, trades, gifts etc etc, an well Mr. Gnosis did find that i owned my wammo and that it was a trade bug
    An as for founders, i never merged or bought a founders.
    Which is why im still here.
    Thx for caring GoA

    Edit:

    Yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
