<p>I attempted to create toons in the HC realm with names I've used for a long time, but upon creating toons with those names, I found out they were unavailable. I found odd because, even on the most populated servers that have been running for years before I would join, those names were always available.</p>
<p>I then logged into C'Thun with a character made on a whim and attempted to add the names of those players as friends in order to see if any of those names were actually taken. No players were found with any of those names.</p>
<p>Just in case there was a bug in the "adding a friend" interface, I was successfully able to add a random player that was chatting in world chat. By that, I knew adding friends works fine.</p>
<p>And, in the case that adding offline players doesn't work, I attemped to add another toon that I created which was offline, and I was able to add it.</p>
<p>So, it appears that the names I want to create are unavailable, yet they are not taken by anyone.&nbsp;</p>
<p>I would greatly appreciate if someone can help me make those names available since they aren't taken.</p>
<p>PS. If it's all the same, I would prefer not to post the names here until it's needed. Thank you in advance for your understanding.</p>
