Guild Wars 2

It’s been nearly a month since the game was released. Will there be a heads up to the community, notifying that GW1 reserved names will be free to be claimed?

to my understanding they were only reserved till GW2 launch.
So in other words: only beneficial for those playin beta weekends and-or pre-ordering and getting the few days head start to create a character.

others may correct me on this, but I thought that was the message I read upon installing the game last week (no idea where exactly I read it)

I was wondering the same thing. I have an Toon name on a second non linked GW1 account that I haven’t been able to use.
