So i deleted a character on my 2nd account, and was going to use the name on my primary account, but it says the name is in use, so i went back to my 2nd account and recreated a character with the name and it worked... how long of a delay is there untill the name can be used by another account??

u have a 1 day window that u must wait. that is there to prevent name theft from other people if if you wish to recreate a character on the same account. so to move the name to the other account, u will have to wait 24 hours. edited for clarity

If I read this correctly this is misleading. It just seems like you typed it wrong.

If you are deleting a character on an account, you can use the same name right away on that same account.

As said above..... Its a 24hour wait until you can use that name on another account.
