There is none.
They have a script that they ran twice (publicly announced; they may have ran it a couple times unannounced), but they have not done it in a couple years, and Zwillinger has said that they won't be running it again now with Freedom.

People have asked for it (a LOT, since superheroes is one of those genres where a name really means something -- if Aragorn had a different name, it wouldn't really affect the character. If Batman had a different name, it would). I've been one of the more vocal proponents of it from time to time, especially before Freedom.
These days it's a lost cause. Basically, the thought process is, nobody's going to leave because a name they want is taken, but someone who left already and then comes back might not stick around if a name they already had has been taken away. And they're a lot more likely to come back now that they can do so for free.
FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.
How about this:
I have a friend from way back who left the game and never game back (he would be Premium now) and the name I want is not a free because he has it but his account only lets him have two toons on his server...
Will the name be open or not? Is the name lost forever?

The name release policy, these days, is simple: names are not released.
Shadow Wail, the name would not be open, but your friend might be able to delete his character (thus freeing the name) without having the slot unlocked, not sure.
A Premium player can delete a locked character without first unlocking it, and doing so would unlock the name for that player immediately, and for any other player a few minutes later. It seems that the same system that lets you reserve a name on the character creation screen also reserves the name briefly after deletion.

Anyone recall what the name release policy is? Like after X amount of inactivity?
