Return of Reckoning

I usually play healers in MMOs but found that in PvP (specifically DAoC) it was very frustrating because my group usually scattered over the battle field and ran out of range of my spells, then blamed me when they died. The only option was to pick one person out of my group and follow them around ...

Thanks.

I came back to find I was the sole survivor of a guild and read that I could not quit if I was the leader. I deleted the character, only level 6, but the name I used is still listed as taken. How long after a character is deleted does a name become available?
