I deleted a level 4 character of mine 2 months ago and tried to change my name to what that was today and it doesn't work.

Sorry my friend, that means someone already took it from you.
Once you delete a char, the name is usually immediately avail to you.

No, you have to wait for server restart to clear the database.

Somehow some names of deleted char are not yet available ,if u search em on the armoury you can still see the char is there even if its been deleted for ages and server have been restarted multiple times so you cant take the name

Nope, the name is immediately available, I literally just tried it right now.

Must be something new then. Last time it didn't work and I had to wait a day or so until I could pick the same name.
If it goes faster now, good.
