Any way to claim a name?

Every name I pick has been taken and most of them are by accounts thousands of days inactive. Any way to use all the good names that are taken but not used? After a couple thousand days inactive, they ain't coming back....and if they do let them choose a new name.
Thankfully, we do get a free name change (cudos on that, designers ). I just don't want to use it before knowing if it's possible to get a great, but unavailable, one that I'd prefer.
Thanks for any feedback o/

Normally, if an account has bought premium(paid money), then they get to keep that username forever.

Although, there have been cases where a moderator or admin has been nice enough to give you a username that was already in use if that user had been inactive for quite some time. So my advice for you is to continue playing, maybe befriend one of these moderators, and maybe they will do you a favor.
Good luck!
