Why? Apparently it’s just a scheduling issue, with the previously announced date not working well for the five to six hours of downtime required. Players will be notified in advance of the new date, so you have a little more time to make sure that your name remains yours in the future.
Hello all! The Name Reclaim/Release will NOT go forward tomorrow, Feb 14. It has been postponed so that we can better schedule the 5-6 hour downtime required. We'll let you know as soon as a new date is set! [Brasse]
