My permabanned account being used...?

In early S2 I had an account perma banned or more precisely stated; It was suspended for 80 years. I created a new account and I reformed. It went very well.... I randomly decided to Lolskill my old account and it turns out it is being used. I suspect the "Name" was released after my account was permabanned, right?

EXCEPT WHEN I TRIED TO TAKE THE NAME TO MAKE MY SECOND ACCOUNT I WAS TOLD BY RIOT THAT NAMES CAN NEVER BE RELEASED AFTER TIED TO AN ACCOUNT. What the eff man... I would have changed my account name (of my second account) to Ssraeshza if I had not been told it was impossible.

What gives Riot?

Edit: The summoner name was "Ssraeshza", from Everquest; named after Emperor Ssraeshza from The Temple of Ssraeshza; He who holds The Sword of Ssraeshza.... originally I was going to select the name Doljonijiarnimorinar but that was too long and did not fit.

The Doljonijiarnimorinar Axe was a weapon held by Lord Doljonjiarnimorinar and had the proc "Frozen Doljonijiarnimorinar" (Or some S... like that). Point is; both names were great and only one worked, which was denied to me. Emperor Ssraeshza; http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/npc.html?id=7898

Banned accounts follow the same rules for the automated name cleanup. You had to wait for the appropriate time to elapse and it would become open to use, but new accounts cannot automatically take a cleaned-up name; you have to use the Name Change feature in the store.

I'm pretty sure names can actually be released, but it's after years and a specific request submitted through a ticket.

Although now I'm looking at the summoner icon and I'm not sure as that's the season 2 icon if I remember right.

I submitted a ticket, like a year after I got permabanned, I was specifically told it was impossible.

Riot lied to me... but I don't understand why, what was the point? maybe it wasn't possible back then perhaps....?

That's probably it, but still the season 2 summoner icon confuses the hell out of me.

I know now that they have a tremendous amount of players, the need to recycle names is becoming a thing. I had a user name that I started utilizing after I created it back on the original runescape some 11 years ago, but some fucker took it for here and I had to result to using one of my secondary names. I've considered submitting the ticket to see if I could get it back, but I wouldn't buy the token for the name change for some time to come anyway, so idk if it's worth the effort.

I'm off topic though, but I've heard of people getting names they request specifically if an account has been inactive for over a year. Typically the previous accounts end up with some weird number & letter code, if you look hard enough you can find the types of accounts I'm talking about.

Hey Dominick Destine,

I think there was some confusion between the PS Specialist and you when you requested the name back. Specialists can't release or trade the name of a permanently banned account, however the account will still follow the guidelines for a name release due to inactivity. This is because some notorious players would try to use this to their advantage by retaining their online "persona" through their Summoner Names.

With that said though, after a period of inactivity all accounts will release their summoner names. This is also true for permanently banned accounts. Here's our KB article on the Summoner Name release schedule: https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/201751914-Summoner-Name-Clean-Up-

Well that is incredibly disappointing and I 'feel' very betrayed by Riot.

But thank you for responding, you were most kind for taking time to address my query.

If the account is inactive (no choice during a ban) during one of their phases of releasing old names, your account name will have been released and renamed to random letters and numbers.
