Nation name release!

[Southern Patriots]

If I donate money to the site can I have a name released earlier?

Doesn't hurt to ask, right?

[The Blaatschapen]

No.

Not possible.

[Southern Patriots]

*slips you a fiver* Gotcha.

[New Leppikania]

What if there was no population threshold for reservation, but nations with larger populations would take longer to become available? That would mean that nations with populations of just over 500 million people would still be released.

Aloomenaty, a puppet nation I no longer care about, CTE'd with population 556 million. I was kinda annoyed when I found out it would never be released.

Like, 5 extra years for every 500M people?

[Colonial Rhodesia]

I would like the release of the name Rhodesia please.

[Leppikania]

I would like the release of the name Rhodesia please.

I don't think that's ever happening.

Yeah, something like that.

Yeah at least I want the release of a nation that's been dead for 3 years, you're talking about a nation still owned and operated

Nope. I grabbed that one.

Edit: I do think, perhaps, the population ought to effect the time until release. For example, a name used for 3 months isn't likely to be coming back. There is, however, a remote chance that a name used for a year might come back.

Apart from that, I'd support raising the release limit to 500 million. That's the level at which you can begin to really personalise your nation game side, e.g. add your own description instead of standard "Republic/Kingdom of", etc.

The limit is already at 500 million.

Doh! Ignore me. Thought it was 250m. Turns out the reason I can't get the particular one I was looking at was its ceasing to exist to recently. Ignore!

On another note... I think the 4/5 year wait is a wee bit long. Whilst some come back after that time, 99% won't. Perhaps 2/3 years would be better.

[Nazi Supremacy]

so just to clarify a nation with over 500million that has been dead for over 5 years will never be an ancient one and keep the name forever?(i see one thats been inactive for 10 with 2 mill)

It'll be a lot easier if you either link the nation you are meaning (or TG it to me if you are worried about someone seeing it and taking it).

But a nation inactive for 10 years, and with 2 million population sounds odd, given nations start with 5 million or so.

If a nation managed to get to 500 million, the name is reserved.

If a nation purchased something, the name is reserved.

If a nation has had a resolution made about them, or has had something significant happen, the name is reserved.

If the nation was owned by a DoS player, or was DEATed the name is reserved.

I replied via TG, but it won't be available unless the rules change, the pop is too high.

[North America and the Pacific Islands]

I'm confused by this thread.

I'm confused by this thread.

Could you explain what's confusing? I'm no mod, but I think just saying that you're confused is entirely unhelpful, unconstructive, and maybe even close to spam. If you tell us what needs to be clarified, though, someone here will be happy to help, though it may take some time.

Ah, I'm sorry for seeming like spam and being unhelpful.

Well I'm confused by is this like a request forum? It seems like people are doing that so yeah.

This is the technical forum.

It's when you have technical questions with regards how to things work. Requests for new features are included in that.

This particular thread is about the nation name release that happened in the past. It's when someone claims a name, and then leaves the game soon afterward. Those names get released again after a few years.

I see, thank you for clearing that up.

[The Nation of Ceneria]

I'm 99% sure I already know the answer to this question is no, but I figure I'll ask anyways.

I'm interested in using the nation name 'Ceneria' for a new nation. According to the Boneyard...

• Former nation Ceneria
  Founded: Sun Sep 16 2007
  Last activity: Sat Dec 8 2007
  Population: 611 million

I am aware that the threshold for nation recreation is 500 million, but I was wondering if, under that rule, this nation name will ever again become available for use.

Again, I'm pretty sure the answer is a definite 'no,' but clarification would be very much appreciated. Thank you for your time!

That nation will only be available again if the threshold is ever raised above 611 million.

Looking at how shot the life of the nation was, maybe the population isn't an adequate standard...

If the growth of nations is uniform to all nations, and the lock on nations being 5 years no matter how small, I would say the limit should be about 2 Billion. That's about a year of activity. If they aren't back after 5 years the chances are they're not coming back, but a year of activity I supposed merits something .

[Flanderlion]

2 billion sounds a little too large. If it was increasing, it should increase one time to 1,000,000,000 (a billion), and then remain at that forever. A nice round number.

3 months of activity is not really that long (500 mil approx), but 6 months is a good limit (1 bil). But that said, no matter what it is increased to, people are going to request it to be higher.
