Name changing

[Dragondan_Ro]

Yes. What I would like to know is:

 

If I change my name, will other people be able to use my Ingame name?

Not for 30 days.

Robert, you are slightly mistaken.

 

The period of time in which your original name is saved can be extended beyond 30 days, depending on how long you have played.

Really? Is that new?

[Kiriyama]

Was announced alongside the initial update.

 

EDIT:

 

Looked up the news on the RS website, and I've extracted the necessary part.

 

"After these 28 days, you will have a period of time in which you can revert back to your previous display name, should you wish. You will have at least 7 days after the 28 days to revert to your previous display name, as it will be ‘held’ for you and unavailable to anyone else in this time. Depending on how long that name was in your possession before you changed it, you may have more than 7 days to revert to your reserved name."
