You should be able to claim the name immediately (as far as I'm aware; I've never tried that specifically). However, once you change a character's name, you will not be able to change it again for a period of time, so if you want to switch the names or something you'll need a spare character to do so.
Wasn't there a recent update (sometime in the last ~4months) where ign's have a cooldown period now if the character is deleted? Or does that only apply to deleted and not name-changed characters?(less)
And your point? Don't have to be an active member of the forums to report an actual bug... Is there no credibility when I put the effort in demonstrating how the Totem functions on the server it came from? A bug is a bug, I'm just here to bring it to light for the developers.(less)
hand experience of the issues is mandatory or even important really. My support of AKradian's application is based on observing his (her?) conduct on the forums. I know nothing about that person's game-related info. Based on their conduct on the forum I have a firm idea that they would be able to understand and represent my own concern even if they do not share them personally, and that they would be level-headed and fair in dealing with the community.
I would also like to include AKradian isn't influenced by personal wants/opinions but rather by going through content and seeing what would need to be changed or fixed. (less)
