Guild Wars 2

I have a quick question. I have a friend that was holding a name for me; he released the name and now it says that the name is still in use. Is there a waiting time before its publicly released or is it unable to be taken by anyone else?

Yes, 24 hours after deleting the character.

Ugh really…well then, guess I won’t be playing for a day.

Thanks for the info Turamarth.
