Hi there,

So basically if i want to give a name from one of my chars 'not level 1' so i'm not selling the name but if I just want to let one of my buddies have it, after how long can he use the name?

For example if i delete the character now in how much time will he be able to use the name?

Thanks.

Edited out t_t

Thanks dude (:

That is for the name change paid service only. There's no time limit if you are deleting a character, not renaming it. :)

Oops Treeroy is right... Or not.

Apparently I deleted the character and my friend is not able to take it anyways ... :\

T_T this needs some more research.

Nop, never.

I believe that if you delete a character, the name is freed up for you straight away, but isn't available for other battlenet accounts (even if it's a second bnet account you own) for 30 days.

I can't find proof of this anywhere in the EU forums, but this was posted by an MVP in the US forums:

-Names deleted from your own account, regardless of level, are available immediately.
-Names deleted from other's accounts, you get a 30 day waiting period before the name is available again.

In the meantime, you could try making a new character yourself with the name and see if you are able to. If you can and your friend can't, it rather implies the cooldown period.

I took the name back again untill all this clears off. Anyways thanks for the answer :d

If your friend wants the name, you're going to have to delete the character with the name, or the 30 day cooldown will never start (or end :) )

Shammoz seems to think differently. Which green should we trust? =P

I have no idea, we'll try the 30 days thingy :D

I guess we'll have to wait for a blue. It may be different in the US - some things are.

Apparently so :D

Thank you :)
I was somewhat confused.
