Kaida23 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I've had a name on my friends list forever, even though he doesn't play anymore. I keep it there for nostalgic reasons, as he introduced me to the game. Anyway, a few months ago I noticed his name was showing up on the list with a * in front of it, and now it lists his name as just #Friend2. His name wasn't offensive, and I doubt he's been hacked as the acc's never online. Anyone know what causes this? Has the account been deleted? Banned? Carried off into the depths of the mines by rock golems? Check out my blog to read the Adventures of a Big Damn (F2P) Hero.

Miss Slay xx Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Was his name unique? Cause weeks after the display name update i've noticed how the top players got the chance to change their names to already used names like that "Lan" guy. I think I remember readin a news article @ runescape website where jagex says they will release inactive account's names for new players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaida23 Posted July 30, 2011 Author Share Posted July 30, 2011 No, his name was Cathosas. I didn't realize they were releasing inactive names like that. I guess that's what happened, but why did it have the * in front of it for so long? Check out my blog to read the Adventures of a Big Damn (F2P) Hero.

The Observer Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 How long ago did they last log in? I think it was just one of those names that due to their inactivity, their name was released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaida23 Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 Thanks Love2Slayy, I hadn't seen that. It's been years since he last logged in, so his name must have been released and taken by someone else. Check out my blog to read the Adventures of a Big Damn (F2P) Hero.
