Please start freeing up some of the character names from toons that have not been played in a number of months.
I was forced to transfer from the APAC servers and was unable to get most of my character names. Some are obviously active and this I can live with but some are obviously just parked on level 1 or 3 toons.
My major gripe as a paying subscriber is why I should be disadvantaged by not being able to get some of my favorite character names which I have had since launch day in favor of a player who is not playing or paying for the game.
Come on BW/EA if a player hasn't played or logged in for 6 months or made any attempt to level a character, please free the name up for those of us who want it. After all if someone hasn't played or paid for the last 6 months I feel that they have pretty much lost the right to complain about it.
In the guild window you can see the last time a character was logged in. Surely it couldn't be hard to run a report on the system and see the status of all the servers toon's and allow us, especially your paying customers, to petition for the release of a name from the inactive accounts or unused toon's for us to use.
