Character Name Reservation: How long? - Guild Wars Forums

Sagaris · Apr 25, 2006, 05:06 PM // 17:06

Hi guys!

I'd like to reserve names for my upcoming assassin, but how long does it take after I deleted my character to use the same name on my new assassin? I've searched but haven't found anything.

Thanks in advance!

You should be able to use the name immediately after deleting your character. The 1 hour reserve time prevents anyone else from using it for that amount of time.

Kook~NBK~ is correct. The name reservation last's for 1 hour after you delete the character - in that hour grace period that name can only be used by that account. Anyone else, or you using a different account, who wants that name will need to wait 1 hour after you delete it to be able to use the name.

If you want to use the name on a char on a different account to what it currently is on, you will need to wait the full hour from time of deletion to use it.
