We will soon be implementing name expiration for inactive characters. An inactive character may have their name claimed by another user if they meet all of the following conditions:

 

• Has never purchased Reward Points.

• Has not reached max level cap in all available regions.

• Has no shiny OT monsters.

• Is inactive.

• Is not banned.

 

Being inactive is based on a character's last online time and total played time:

 

• 100+ hours of played time:

  • Will not be considered inactive.

• 60-99 hours of played time:

  • Last online over 4 years ago.

• 48-59 hours of played time:

  • Last online over 3 years ago.

• 24-47 hours of played time:

  • Last online over 2 year ago.

• 6-23 hours of played time:

  • Last online over 1 year ago.

• <6 hours of played time:

  • Last online over 6 months ago.

 

For the first month the conditions are met, only a Name Change Contract may be used to claim an expired name.

 

If your character's name has been claimed by another user, you will have to choose a new name to continue playing. It is not possible for staff to recover your name. Attempting to buy or sell character names will result in a permanent ban.

 

Name expiration will begin on June 1st at 00:00 UTC for Name Change Contracts.
Name expiration will begin on July 1st at 00:00 UTC for general availability.

The duration of Character Name Reservations has been extended to 6-12 months. For more information please see the Character Name Reservations knowledge base article.
