Quoted:
An inactive account is any account under level 6 that hasn’t played a game since January 1, 2012. To keep those accounts’ names, you’ll have to log on and play at least one game between now and Sunday, December 9, at 11:59 PM PST. If you miss the deadline, don’t worry – your account is still active, but you’ll be prompted to choose a new summoner name when you log in next time. Only inactive accounts are at risk to lose their summoner names.

Srsly, Riot? Its so stupid that its capped at lvl 6, they should have changed it to every acc not lvl 30, would make a lot more sense...are there not more people ranting about this so riot might do something about this? I wanted to rename myself to Yumeko, but its alrdy in use from a lvl 22 Person which Match History in the LoLClient aswell als LoLkings show NOTHING. =_="

@ Yukimaru: supprise neckbeard, there are casuals. Also if you would flip the ON switch on your brain you might realize there is going to be a ridiculously high number of people who start playing LoL because of its popularity; then they decide its not for them. They are just cleaning up their databases where the highest number of inactive accounts are.

@P32CY: did you seriously, honestly just say "Leed speak ;)"? 11/10 you got me so good. jimmies = rustled.
Sometimes there's so much stupid in the world, I feel like I can't take it, and my head is just going to explode.

i don't think they're gonna go up to 22, but they started at 5 because its a huge number of accounts.
they'll move up onto more inactive accounts, though i don't think they'd ever go above 20.

Also what they should of did was havent played in 3 months and under lvl 15 or so. this way 3 months is a long time and 15 is where most stupid smurfs stop(usually 10 tbh is where but jsut to be safe)

I think they should just say "Screw it" and clean all accounts up to level 29 that haven't played for a year. If you haven't played for a year, you're not very interested in playing. Then, they should clean level 30 accounts that haven't played for 2 years, or possibly 3.
