Hey there. I don't doubt that this has been mentioned before but I want to revive the point.

1) The ability to re-use deleted character names.

2) The ability to swap names between 2 characters on one's own account.

These shouldn't be that hard to implement i think and it would be a nice function. Please consider it!b:thanksb:thanks

    The second one I think depends on how our characters are stored in the system....I remember someone having an idea like that with account names for a website, and they were told that it wasn't possible because instead of storing data by numbers, they did it by names, and that made it nearly impossible to change names unless they redid every single scrap of data for the new name.

    But I'm not sure if that applys to an MMO...? We're not allowed to re-use deleted character names?!

    Any GMs know when this is going to happen? (month-wise, year-wise)

    I very much like the idea of swapping character names.. I had no idea you could use a space in a name o_o

    Don't make a character with a space in their name I think it's a bug not sure. I am waiting for a reply on the matter. Just a warning though, cause my poor lvl 12 is kinda in trouble and from what I understand I think it's due to that space but again waiting to find out for sure. So for safty sake just don't use spaces.
