I would like to see a 10 year expiration set for Reserved Names. 

That is, 10 years from the date you Reserved a name, if you have not used it, you lose it - and get refunded half of your credits. 

(Additionally, I think that if you Delete a reservation you should get back half of the creds you spent on it) 

The only downside that has been brought to my attention is that some people would have a hard time using all of the names in their list before that deadline. Here are two very easy ways around that;

Die more often.

Delete your reservation...and then re-do it if the name means that much to you. 

Any other drawbacks that I may have missed? 

What is the motivation for this zoomy?

I think this would be reasonable. Otherwise someone might reserve a variety of popular names, but then stop playing MR, and now those names are unusable forever.  

Precisely situations like that, JackMezzo.

When the feature first got put in(before the 20 name limit) a lot of people snagged up names that other players like to use, for, presumably, the lols. 

Huh, I was under the impression that you could only have them for a year.

What does the Expires refer to then?

Personally I don't have trouble with people using my names, but I can imagine someone in that situation is pretty bummed out. But waiting for 10 years to get your name back seems a little...unhelpful. If you're in a situation like that, I mean. 

Maybe a clean up of players who have not played for 10 years or names which they have not used for 10 years, but implementing a policy of waiting for ten years doesn't really seem like a solution to getting a name back.

I'd probably make another one. Can understand your rationale though. 

Errr, I'm not quite sure what the expiration on that one is for to be honest, I have one on a single one of my Reserved names as well. 

"but implementing a policy of waiting for ten years doesn't really seem like a solution to getting a name back."

Waiting 10 years from the time they reserved it* - so a considerable chunk of time less than that for some of us :( 

I haven't been able to use my favorite playing name since like 2015. It'd be nice to know that eventually i'll get the damn thing back. 

AH, from the date of reservation, ok yeah, that's probably a bit better. Agreed!

I asked Izzy about this once. If you have an account that plays over a certain number of hours (I think it was 500?) it's automatically reserved for a year.  

I do agree with this suggestion, however, I think ten years is a bit extreme. Five might be more realistic.
