Like honestly though. I've had a name saved for awhile now, I was going to start my alt today. I delete the character to recreate it as the class/race that I want and boom the name is already taken. I took at most a minute picking out my physical appearance.

I've see this happen on the HC server too frequently where people die and go again, and in the process of making their character some scumbag snipes the name.

I have a really hard time believing someone organically tried to create a character with the same name in the minute or so that I was in the character creation screen.

The depths that some people go to in order to annoy and frustrate others never ceases to amaze me...

if you have a char with this name on the Hardcore server, this name will be reserved for both PvP and PvE servers to grant the char transfer, but Name for PvE does not occupy the name for PvP and other rum.
At the beginning there were problems and you could double-check the names on the respective servers also Pve / PvP AND Hardcore.
Some also have a hardcore char and then wonder why the name instant is occupied when they put a new one on the PvE /PvP server.
