    Not going to happen for all the reasons listed in this thread.

    Chief among the reasons given in that thread, activity or the lack thereof is not decided on a per-character basis. It is an account-wide flag. Just because one character appears to be inactive or has, you feel, gone untouched for a significant length of time, does not mean that the same holds true for the entire account.

    I'll use myself as an example. I have characters on my account, regardless of their state of progression, that I've not touched in well over two years, yet in other my account remains active insofar as any automated purge nexon performs is concerned. You would have the names stripped from my characters that you deem "very inactive" just because they've sat ignored for longer than a few months?

    The reality is, they're not going to randomly come down on people now for name-squatting. Not when they have clearly-detailed criteria and precedent from their last name purge just under four years ago.
