username reset inactive low level accounts so people who actually play can get them.

there are so many people who would love to have certain usernames but can’t get them because someone who made an account and played for like 10 minutes and deleted the app 5 years ago took them. i thought there was already a system for this to a degree where the name gets reset and left blank and they have to choose another name when(if) they log in again? would be super dope.

    You can check some very simple/generic Ally Tag names, and look at all the idle people in them from YEARS past.
    Like AAA, BBB, etc, I used to go to some like that when looking for simple Duels long ago.

    You'll see they still exist on the Ally Roster, but the Player Names are BLANK, and it will show something like 500, 1000, etc, days since last logged in.

    So that's already in place. Something like a year, up to maybe 500 days, of not logging in, that they reclaim the Player Name and put it back in the available name pool for other people to use.

    They free account names when they have been inactive, but it takes longer than a year. By policy they don't touch accounts until they have become inactive for an extended period of time, just in case those players decide to return.
    thank you for actually being a normal person and providing insightful information instead of just disagreeing my post like a tool. tysm.

    thank you so much, unfortunately the ones that i’ve been looking at aren’t in an alliance but this is helpful information that gives me hope.

    If your name is Tom Cruise you can use Tom Cruise1 (or anything after...)
