This is just ridiculous to give priority of right to keep original name to an inactive char:
Makumba is my lvl 49 tauren shaman, yet I can not log it, because some lvl 1 paladin with 0h of gameplay has "priority". Not cool at all.
I understand that's the easy way, I am not amused at all though.
Would be more fair to check activity.
Same story with my lvl 41 orc warrior MaxDamage
There is a duplicate on Nighthaven already. Question is: was it even logged in the last two months ?
P.S.
I am not risking name change if there are bugs reported by ppl who lost access to their chars/items after administring such change. No way.
edit:
I've been told there are more important issues to fix and I have to wait on the decision and "may be let to keep my names".
What could possibly more important than solving a problem which is preventing a user to play the game ?
