Several character names flagged for change

Several of the characters on my account had their names flagged for change. I haven't played in a few years, but I made these characters a long time ago (likely when I started back when the game was still tier 1, laggy, and PQ's didn't work, whatever year that was), so I would have some good names before they were all taken. I played some of the characters off and on, and none of the names were offensive. Tried to make them RP sounding. I received no emails or warnings about any of this, and check the news section every once in a while and saw no warnings about any name changing there. Our character names are very important and should be protected.

Can I have my names back?

A character that hasn't logged in for more than a year loses his name reservation, meaning anybody can steal his name. Chances are the people that stole your name are inactive too now, so my advice would be to simply try to regain your char names by just typing them into the name change prompt.

Well dang, thanks for the reply. Unfortunate they didn't pause that system for the last few years at least for that thing we can't talk about.
