== Accounts and Characters ==

; X character has been inactive for an extended period of time. Can it be deleted so that I can claim the name?
: In short, no. Every couple of years, we do delete characters and accounts, that meet ''all'' of these requirements:
<blockquote>
* inactive for more than one year
* level 0
* less than 10 minutes online
* have not visited more than 2 zones
* do not own any items beside the default ones
* have not been friended or ignored by anyone
* there are no other remaining characters on the same account or accounts that might be related
* not related to any kind of admin investigation
</blockquote>
: A good rule of thumb is, if the character name is not available, then the account has not met the above criteria and requests for deletion will be denied.
