Name reserve question

OK.. this may be long-winded so bare with me.

I've had a name reserved for a Staff character since I found out about Staves- I had the name held on my 3rd account. This morning I went and deleted the name and recreated it over on my primary account so I can get all the vet rewards I have there.

It's then I realized that I didn't have the 1 aura piece on my primary account that I do have on my 3rd account. After looking for it in the market and not finding the aura I decided just move back to my 3rd acct and be done. Thats where I ran into a issue...

I Can delete the characcter from my primary account.. but when I go back to my 3rd acct it says the name isn't available.. but it is on my primary and 2nd accounts?? Is there a timinig issue? I did this all before work this morning so I just rereserved the name on my primary account and figured I'd try this again tonight- just wondered if anyone ran into this before?

Sounds like a server lag issue. Something similar happened when I released one of my names for someone else not too long ago. I deleted the toon, logged in and told the player that the name was free, and then they came back 2 minutes later saying they could not get it. Upon trying again after a few minutes, they were able to get the name.

On a side-note: what aura? The only one I know of that was once on the market but is no longer there is the bats from the Halloween pack.

The Gaseous Aura.. I believe it was one of the basic auras... its not showing in the Creator or the market on my Primary account.

If it's a standard aura there's no reason it shouldn't be loading on all accounts.

The only auras that you wouldn't see on the list are the ones that are locked in-game.

Purchasable auras should show in the creator and give you the option to buy if you don't already have it.

Sounds like a bug to me.

Make sure you don't have the "free only" option at the bottom of the costume creator selected.

The gaseous aura is unlocked with Costumes > Tailor > Aura Unlock option.
