NEW FEATURE Renaming: Do It Yourself!

Just thought I'd let you know, I went on a "let's waste ecs" binge the other week and freed up some igns that I'm sure people would be willing to use.

Fugly, Ceb, Benthoe.

All no longer exist and are free for whoever would like them. I no longer have a use for them
Enjoy 🫶

Ok, PIMD.
Ever found yourself totally frustrated with the following:

Checking to see whether a player is super inactive so you can cop their dope IGN...?

.... then waiting for an ATA member to see your ticket and help you free this name up...?

...only then to have some nub steal the name from you once ATA frees it up cuz you wuz sleepin'?

...or having ATA tell you "nuh bruh" but you're 100000% sure they're inactive anyway....

...so then you find yourself in this almost-endless process of checking that IGN every day/month/year/spin cycle and messaging ATA all over again..????

Say no more fam, say no more.

From now on, you can now rename yourself without having to write into ATA release inactive player IGNs for you!!

Super important: If the name is available, it will rename you and take 20 ECs as usual :)

TL;DR:
Free up inactive IGNs/usernames by yourself!
ATA will no longer be checking to see if usernames can be freed for you ;)

If you want to keep reading:
This new system uses the exact same conditions that ATA staff uses to check if a name can be released, except, instead of a human dev manually doing it, our code does!

Meaning, if the username comes up as not available, it's not available, and no one else can free it up for you no matter how many times you send a ticket in.

Keep checking back this way to see if the name is finally free!

Yay for autonomy!

How do we determine if we are able to have the user name or not? I’m struggling to understand why an active v inactive player can have their name stolen. I don’t want to lose my tag just bc I take a week break - we all know this game is addicting and unhealthy

Pritty sure its 3 months inactive before the name becomes available
 
Y'all should switch it so if they haven't hit at least one party in over 90 days, the ign can be taken 😔 cause rn people will 100% just log in once every couple months to hold the name

I don't think that'll stop the issue, tbh. It'd be incredibly easy to add joining a noob club and unloading on a party to their once-every-6-months log-in.

Also, there is a decent chunk of people on here who actually don't party, such as some of the RPers as well as some of the more dedicated farmers.
