Anyone get a request to release a name you just got?

[Jawbreaker]

Wondering if anyone has finally gotten a name they were hoping for, only to have someone request it back?

I've had one so far, and while I'm not typically selfish with names that someone wants if it's one I'm not really attached to , I'm kinda like...I dunno, you've had months to either level up or just even log in a character with a name you've obviously been sitting on for a long time, and only NOW you're concerned?

Point them to any of the anti-name-release threads on these forums.  Contained within are many helpful suggestions about how to come up with new names if the one you want is taken.

“Ahem, dear Jawbreaker. I would very much like back all the names that I lost because I couldn’t be bothered to log in and actually play said characters. “

Yea , I don’t think so. Please be patient and wait for the next name release just in case we don’t play them either

I've only ever had one request from a player I knew from retail and let him have it. And I wasn't using it. I should check and see if he's still playing.

Not yet, though, another asked for the one at the top of my wish list.

I haven't decided what to say yet.

I don't understand? Does the message mean that they are playing some sort of name economy, and/or "the one that got away" is the most important of the bunch?

This strikes me as not someone requesting a name back as much as socially engineering (ie: lying) to get a name they wanted and were unable (ie: tol slow) to get after the policy went live.
