oh damn I forgot to take a s/s of my expired char but if someone wants to post after this I can do that

The name has already been taken therefore you cannot renew your characters by making your computers date back old, now the only thing to do is to delete the character.

as you can see sickinner I have an expired char whome I cannot use the name for again. So provided you have not deleted this char you still have this name just remake it

Once a character expires... The name is open for anyone to use

U can only get the name back if u remake it & no one has taken the name

If someone else has already taken it u can nolonger. Use it.... Sorry

that is wrong. I just proved it. as you can see and expired char can not be remade untill it is deleted. so when you delete it go and remake it. then you have the name again. unless you are unlucky and some how get the 1 out of 99999999999999 chance someone made that same char name the exact moment you were going to but i don't think that is going to happen. evidence is in the above posts.
so to sum it up the expired char name is not open for anyone to take untill you delete it. which I assume you will be remaking within 10 seconds of that happening anyway so you are fine and are still the owner of that name

There is a guide regarding this in "Discussions & guides" forum

Sorry I can't link from my phone

please provide that when you can because as you can see I tryed to make a sin with the same name as my expired barb and it was not allowed. that is the point of the s/s I have posted above. I personally tested what has been said and that is what happens when you try to do it.

anyone else is welcome to give it a shot.
pick any of the characters you see there that are expired and see if you can make them

Gi guys, ty al for posting and trying to help. However, my intention was to unluck that lvl 97 ama, mainly for her items, not for her name, i diddnt care about that.

Unfortunately that doesnt work, once a character is expired u cannot get her back ... its very sad..

Making a new char with that name did work indeed, but thats not what i want like i said, I don't care about the name, i wanted the gz items she had .... 6-40 , pf coa 15 15, 20/20 armors and such ... but nevermind its gone.

again TY all
