    Default My super rare name is gone!

    So I logged into a very old account of mine (with an INCREDIBLY rare name, trust me. It's one english word that you hear every day most likely). Apparently Jagex released the name!! I can't post on the forums as it's not a member, and I'm having issues trying to find a way to contact Jagex about it.

    Any suggestions guys??

    Check if it's still available and if so make an account to take it or get membership. If it's not available you wont be able to get it back no matter what.

    It's not available. If you guys knew the name, you would crap a brick that I lost it. This is absolutely ridiculous.

    They recently (half a year ago) released names from inactive accounts so that people could openly take it. More than likely your account was inactive and they decided to remove the name so that others could take it, sucks :/

    I can't think of any names that would result in that happening ("crapping a brick"). but yeah if you weren't active on the account, it was released and thus I believe you have no chance of getting it back (outside the person who took it becoming active and them releasing names again in like a decade lol. do you mind pming the name? you've got me all curious with the "you would crap a brick" part of your post =p

    Possible they have a record of previous names on accounts -> posts on botting site.

    He could be paranoid that they track his current rs accounts (if any) from info from the account that used to have the name, and better safe that sorry (a bit of a long shot but hey, that could be 1 reason as to why not post the name publicly (or to not pm them to undercover jmods like myself))

    I've been using the name of my main as my SRL username for the last 8 years. I think it's probably okay.

    I won't be crapping any bricks unless the super old account is Zezima, I always knew that guy was a bot.

    Haha seriously, my RS main's name was the same as this forums user for a while. I doubt Jagex has the time to check through forums for user names tbh

    "Bree Olson" recently changed their name so you can snag that one

    The display names of inactive accounts were purged a year(?) ago.

    I wanted the name "Oi" but sadly the owner was not inactive for long enough

    I used to trade names. Back in the big hosting years names used to be worth hundreds of mils, even up to bils sometimes. I owned "Fun" and "Mage" until they got hacked. If jagex released your name, its already gone for sure; People track names like that. If someone hacked you and changed it, you still have a chance. I believe its a 30 day wait still (could be wrong). If you write a script to constantly try to take the name then you can get it back. That's how name snipers get names btw

    If they've taken the name off of the account and released it, it's very unlikely that you will get it back
