看到這則, 不知是針對全部還是只有美版

大意是說, 在 patch 6.0.2 到之後
自 2008.11.13 就沒上線過的角色名字
會被釋放出來, 供別人取新名或付費改名.
個人的推論應該是包含台版
若 2008 年後沒開出來的角色又希望能保留名字
那可能需要去儲個點數把角色開上來
不過, 2008.11之後都沒玩的人
應該也不會在意吧?
再加上這中間台版合併多次...
然後都沒玩的人, 看到這則消息的機率可能也不高
Release the Names! Character Name Reclamation Coming
Blizzard Entertainment 9/15/2014
With the upcoming Warlords of Draenor pre-patch (6.0.2), we will be
releasing sidelined characters’ names back into the wild. Any
characters that have not logged into the game since November 13, 2008
will have their names freed up, making them available to anyone
creating a new character or using the paid Character Name Change service.
How Do I Preserve My Names?
You will need to log in to World of Warcraft and enter the game using
each character whose name you wish to retain before patch 6.0.2 goes live.
While it is possible no one will claim your recently released name
and you might be able to snag it again, it is probably not worth
the risk if you want to keep your names intact long-term.
Our goal with this great name liberation is to make sure new and
returning players have a large and varied pool of names available
to choose from—so log in now if you wish to preserve your unused
characters’ names for your journey intro Draenor.
