This is an important announcement made by NCSoft on Monday. I wanted to post it for those of you who do not play much anymore, but still have accounts:

City of Heroes and City of Villains Character Name Policy Change
Monday, October 10, 2005

Starting 10/24/2005 the City of Heroes and City of Villains character name policy will change. Names for characters under level 35 on game accounts that have been inactive for over 90 days will be changed to unreserved status. This means that those names will become available for new character names if picked by an active player. This policy is being enacted in order to free up character names based on player feedback.

If your game account is inactive for over 90 days and you reactivate your account you will need to log back in to any characters affected by this policy to move them out of unreserved name status. If your old character name has been taken by an active player, the game will prompt you to rename your character. You will be given only one opportunity to rename your character. It is possible that your character name may still be the same if an active player has not chosen to use that character name. Your global handle will not be affected.

All characters in an unreserved name status will be shown in your character selection screen; however, their photo will not be shown, indicating that they are in unreserved name status.

If you do not log into the game with a character in unreserved name status, the characters name will remain available to any active player until you log that character into the game. Logging into the game with the affected character will change the characters name status back to reserved.

Any questions about this policy can be directed to support@cityofheroes.com.
