If you want a name go reserve it on p99,

if you already did then you're good to go.

System has been in place since the start of beta and will be in place for the live launch. You are missing the details of this system though, such as the last time online check.

What if I was able to get a name on Red but it is already taken on Blue?

The account that owns the name on blue hasn't logged in since the last time online check so the name is open to use I would assume from Rogean's post.

Phew. Let's hope so then.

    if (RuleB(Server, CharnameFederation)) {
        MYSQL_RES *result;
        MYSQL_ROW row;
        if (!RunQuery(query, MakeAnyLenString(&query, "SELECT a.id, a.account_id, a.timelaston, UNIX_TIMESTAMP(), b.status, b.banned, b.suspended FROM character_fed a left outer join account b on b.id = a.account_id WHERE a.name = '%s'", name), errbuf, &result)) {
            cerr << "Error in Char Federation query '" << query << "' " << errbuf << endl;
        } else {
            if ((row = mysql_fetch_row(result))) {
                if (atoi(row[0]) > 0 && atoi(row[1]) != account_id && (atoi(row[3]) - atoi(row[2]) < 7257600 || atoi(row[4]) || atoi(row[5]) || atoi(row[6]) > atoi(row[3]))) return false;
            }
            mysql_free_result(result);
        }
        safe_delete_array(query);
    }
