If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

If all 48 slots are used, then log into one of your characters and /getglobalname <charactername> ... or ... /friend <charactername>. If either one works, it's in use. If it doesn't work, either it's on the restricted list or it's not in use.

While it has been occasionally quirky, the /friend method has served me well for years to check for name availability.

Just open a free acount and use that
The /friends idea sounds like a great workaround. Thanks!

I really miss the fielf that used to be available on the toon roster screen pre-I23. It seems to have been moved into the toon creator, but this becomes unable when all 48 slots are filled on a server. Moving a toon off server just to enable quick access to the name availability function means possibly using two transfer tokens and losing SG/VG membership, etc, etc. I would really appreciate seeing this field and functionality returned to the toon roster screens where it used to be (I also like it in the character creator).
