Re: Character name 'stolen'

If someone leaves, yeah. But you can be an active player and just stop playing a character for some time. 6 months is nothing in a game like this since we can create a bunch of characters. I like other classes better so, yes, he was sitting there waiting the day I would have time to level. Not anyone can play hours per day on a daily basis. And well, you don't see this 'mechanic' across all MMOs for a reason.Tyrodan wrote: Mon Mar 23, 2026 9:40 am Bit off topic, but OP's post really hightlights the problem with the name hoarding: People claim names and have them sit idle on some low level char, because they MIGHT at some point in the future want to play the char with that exact name (then they leave RoR and may not even come back).
It's a good thing this mechanic exists, even though we see the occasional complaining / outrage in the forum.
Honestly this should be a common thing across all MMOs
