En Masse Entertainment has announced a name purge on all characters that have been inactive since June 25, 2014. All affected characters will have a “_1” added to their handles so that new players have more choice when creating characters.

If you have characters whose names you want to keep, but haven’t logged into TERA with those characters since June 25 of last year, log in to TERA and enter the game with each of those characters today, before it’s too late.

Anyone looking to keep their names on an inactive account should do so by logging in today.

World of Warcraft Reclaiming Inactive Character Names

Given that World of Warcraft passed one hundred million accounts last year, it isn’t a huge reach to assume that character names are getting hard to come by. Actual character names, ones without a following of numbers or flanked by xXx. In response to this issue, Blizzard has announced that with patch 6.2, and with each subsequent expansion following, that inactive character names will be freed up for active players.

With the upcoming Warlords of Draenor patch (6.2), we will be releasing sidelined characters’ names back into the wild. Any characters that have not logged into the game since December 7, 2010 will have their names freed up, making them available to anyone creating a new character or using the paid Character Name Change service.

Blizzard occasionally hands out free seven day trials to inactive accounts, so if you intend on keeping your names but don’t want to subscribe at the moment you can always check your account to see if it is eligible.

TERA’s launch on Steam means a lot of new players, and that means a lot of people looking for free names. On June 25th, characters who haven’t logged in over the past year will have their usernames changed in order to free up choices for these new incoming players:

Any characters that have not logged into the game since June 25, 2014 will have their names appended with “_1”, freeing up their old names to anyone creating a new character or using the paid Character Name Change service.

You will need to log in before June 25th to keep your name saved.
