i've been tryin to make a new name for my char instead of Zio Matrix or Zeal but people be taking the name already but i never see the name of that char on. i mean who made Zeal's toy robot (i was testing to see if someone did make it and they did)? i made a char that noone had then deleted it and tried making it again and it sayed the name already exist. does that mean if you put a name there and deleted noone can ever use that kind of name? is there a thing to recover these names?

There's only one error code returned from the server for character names -- "already in use". It's not actually in use. The problem is that it's an invalid character name, as apostrophes aren't allowed. They probably should be, so I'll change that.

The error is when you type in a name, delete it, and then whatever other name you make no matter what it is, it'll say it's taken. You have to log out and log back in to make it work.
