Purchasing banned names

Araragio·11/4/2017, 6:35:49 PM·3 votes·426 views

So I want to change my name by purchasing a new one. But the name I want is shown as unavailable. I checked on multiple websites and there are little to no records of that person left. I think that the account got banned and that the name is unavailable now? However I would like to ask if it is possible to somehow purchase that name, since it's not being used?

Thanks for any future replies!

For a level 30 account, it becomes available for taking via a purchased name change 2.5 years after its last activity.

Hey BenniSenpai.

Refer to this link as the source.

DIRECTLY FROM THAT PAGE WILL I BE ABLE TO USE THE USERNAME, SUMMONER NAME, OR EMAIL ADDRESS AGAIN AFTER MY ACCOUNT IS DELETED? Yes! All the information associated to your account will be deleted, clearing it up for future use. Please note that it will not be available until 15 days after the deletion has been confirmed.

**** If your account has been permabanned for any reason, that Summoner name will not be released when the account is deleted. ****

I'm sorry.
