Character naming
If it hasn’t been 24 hours since you last deleted the character, that’s why.
ANet has given your original account a 24 hour hold on the name.
Oh, ok. sorry then. thanks for making it clear for me seera!
And to further explain why about the 24 hours, it’s so people can use naming contract, and while they rename, the original is still available if they wish to create a name person with that original name. It gives them time to do all that while they are working with things. It also is so if something needs to delete a character, but wants to recreate it, they won’t lose their name they had. If you don’t recreate after 24 hours, then it’s a good chance you didn’t want the name.
Next time though something doesn’t work, don’t jump the gun and assume Anet is ripping people off of money. It really is in poor taste to get angry when there are some very clear reasons why.
Agree with Ellieanna. The information is easily googled and can be found on both the GW2 Help page and Wiki :
