Do the names of banned RuneScape accounts ever become available for reuse?
My RuneScape account was banned in September, 2010. A bit over four years later, it still has the same display name. I rather like the display name (it wouldn't be valuable on a secondary market, but it has sentimental value), so I'd like to use it as the name of one of my other accounts, if possible.
According to RuneScape Wiki, you can't change the name of a banned account. Does Jagex ever release the display names of permanently banned accounts, so that they become available for reuse?
I would have thought the name would have been released in the 2014 Character Name Clean-Up, but it wasn't.
To be clear, the name itself was not banned (occasionally, Jagex adds display names, such as those suspected of having been sold for real-world money, to a blacklist).
