Guild Wars 2

I believe Tom Petty said it best, waiting is the hardest part

^^^^^ This

Maybe my english isn’t so good, but this looks an aweful lot like a somewhat soft deadline for reserved names. I have no problem with people who reserved names getting dibs. but there are a bunch of people waiting to sink their teeth into the perfect name for their next alt. I myself have a thief lined up that I have been dying to play with the perfect name that is still listed as reserved, and names are very important for me. Time’s up imo, paying customers should be allowed to get access to these rather than having to wait for an unspecified time for the name to come available. I understand ANET has their hands full with other important problems, I don’t think this is too much to ask as a player. Please give us an actual timeline for these names to be released rather than cryptic and/or inaccurate responses, please and thanks

Well that’s a bummer. It’s understandable that they got a lot on their plate atm, but the temptation to start my alt is difficult to control. I really hope they can take the time to un-reserve the names sooner rather than later.

Hello

What is the status on reserved names? When will they be released to the general public? It was my understanding that any reserved names that were not used shortly after launch, would be released to the general population. I have been trying for days to see if this one name I have been trying to get would come out of reserved status. Are reserved names going to be released? I have not been able to get an answer to this question as of yet, nor have I been able to find any info regarding this.

p.s
As a note, when attempting to register a toon with the name it gives me the “this name is reserved..” error message, which is different then “character name already exists”. Thus I am of the belief that the name has still not been used/created

Regards
