Btw I am all for getting more subs from players who left Asheron's Call.
Just to clarify, one of the reasons presented for this in the Discord chat was to get a name back that someone else "stole". However, this very mechanism could also do just that.
It seems like in the few instances of that, it could be handled on a case by case basis.
And I still occasionally see players who've been gone 5 years or more come back, and I would really hate for them to try coming back to find their name was sniped... Perhaps the likelyhood is low. However I also believe the likelyhood is low that someone coming from Asheron's Call has found their name isn't available, unless it is something like "Jasper" in which case, pretty much any game they try to play in, that name isn't going to be available. (In that case, just make up a new name).
I'm just worried we are potentially creating more problems than we are solving with this...

To get Asheron's Call players to join, why not give them a 2 month free sub, with no limitations or restrictions? Uncapped leveling, and a plot slot? Many will jump at that, and get hooked.
