Come Tuesday, November 24th, countless potential character names are going to be up for grabs! It's been a wonderful 5 years of Vindictus, but as the game as gone on and more and more players have joined the war against the Formors, an entirely predictable problem has grown: It's getting harder and harder to create a new, unique name.
Thus, Vindictus is going to begin freeing up character names currently taken by players no longer playing Vindictus. Come November 24th, characters belonging to players that fit the below factors will be renamed, freeing up their old name to be claimed by new and renamed characters:
- Have not logged into Vindictus since December 31st, 2011
- Have not spent any NX within Vindictus
If you want to preserve your character's names and the above applies to you, just login to Vindictus before Tuesday, November 24th and your characters' names will be preserved. Additionally, all characters that are renamed in this manner will be eligible for a free Name Change Coupon, which can be used to give them a new, proper name.
