Per the requirements:

 

1. The user must be under level 50.

 

2. The user must be inactive for 75 days + (25 days x their level).

 

3. The user must not have federal jail set to 777. [777 is reserved for players who are Fallen, or Resting in Peace]

 

4. The user must have under 5 weekly active people who have added them to their friends or enemies list.

 

 

But I just found out there is a hidden 5th rule. Apparently, the name must not be 15 characters. If the name is 15 characters long which is the maximum length a name can be, the system is unable to handle the name change request. There must be a way to free up the desired name? I can PM the user ID/name in a private message if there is any staff who can assist

As you have already been told by another admin, this is a quirk of the name change system. We won't be freeing up names that are unavailable on the basis of name length.

 

Thanks!
