Will there every be another event that releases character names that are inactive? So hard to think of a good name nowadays

    Not sure if this is already a thing.. But I wonder if we could live chat and ask about an IGN? I'd love to make a character with a specific name that isn't even visible on the Rankings, but is taken. Would be cool to be able to at least try and get a character name that may have either been banned, or completely inactive.

    WoW used to do this, but now they just release inactive IGNs after every expansion.

    It's clear the previous IGN wipe did some good clearing up names taken from the maplestory beta days, but only relatively few people got what they wanted because of the massive amounts of hoarders. There should either be a clear-upon-request system via GM chat or a wipe every 2~3 years. Otherwise we will keep seeing threads like these pop up every now.
