TERA news » TERA Is Releasing Inactive Names on June 25
Because of so many new players coming into TERA, a few weeks ago we announced our plan to release inactive character names and make them available to new characters.
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.
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.
