Blizzard has announced it's reclaiming inactive names in World of Warcraft ahead of the launch of the next expansion.

A blog post explains that the Warlords of Draenor pre-patch (6.0.2) will take back the names of any characters that haven't logged into the game since November 13, 2008, making them available for new characters or anyone who fancies using the paid Character Name Change service.

Anyone wishing to preserve their name is advised to log in at their earliest opportunity to prevent it being lost. There's no set release date for the pre-patch as yet.
