Names are being held for 30 days after deletion, the only way around it is to rename a character and then the name is immediately released.
Can confirm this works.Quote:

ooooooh, ok, so there is a workaround for it, cool to know :o, i just recently got my old name back, but i put it on my lvl 1 first right before the 30day thing came, now i got my hopes high again for soon to be wearing my original name again :D.
Can we just go back to the previous system, the normal one, where a deleted name becomes instantly avaiable?
What's the point of this? The whole community is against it, is just a no sense.
We most likely won't be reverting to the previous system because this change was in response to people abusing character restores for free name changes.Quote:

Ok now I understand. Thanks for the explanation you are the first one who tell me the cause after several times I've asked.Quote:

Same for lvl55 DKs.
I didn't check on deleted 80s.
