RuneScape Display Name Rules
- •Length - 1 to 12 characters.
- •Characters - Letters, numbers, spaces, underscores and hyphens only. No other punctuation.
- •Separators - A name cannot start or end with a space, underscore or hyphen.
- •Case and spacing - Names are case-insensitive, and spaces are treated the same as underscores: Bob Smith, bob_smith and BOB_SMITH are the same name.
Why Monitor a RuneScape Name
- •One name, both games A single check covers Old School and RS3 because both use the same display name on the account.
- •Release batches are fast Jagex releases abandoned names in batches each weekday at 11:00 UTC through November 2026. The best names go first.
- •Reserved names expire quietly After a rename, the old name stays reserved to that account for at least 35 days and up to 6 months. Monitoring catches the exact day it expires.
What a Free Result Does Not Guarantee
- •Reserved names can look free A name can show as available because no character currently holds it, yet still be reserved to another account and impossible to claim.
- •Jagex can still reject it Names containing profanity or the word "mod" are blocked even when the lookup reports no owner.
- •Unranked and banned characters count as taken These accounts are absent from the hiscores but still hold their display names, so the checker correctly reports them as taken.

⚡ Quick Answer
Yes — the free checker queries Jagex's official player lookup and tells you in seconds whether a RuneScape display name is held. Because OSRS and RS3 share the same name, one check covers both. Add the name to monitoring and we email you when it becomes available.
RuneScape Name Checker Frequently Asked Questions
How do I check if a RuneScape name is taken?▼
Enter the display name into the checker above. We query Jagex's official player details endpoint — if the name resolves to a character, it is taken; if no character is found, it is free.
Does one check cover Old School and RS3?▼
Yes. OSRS and RuneScape share one display name per account, so one check covers both games.
Are RuneScape names case-sensitive?▼
No. Names are case-insensitive, and spaces are treated the same as underscores. Bob Smith, bob_smith and BOB_SMITH are the same display name.
What characters can a RuneScape display name have?▼
1 to 12 characters using letters, numbers, spaces, underscores and hyphens. A name cannot start or end with a space, underscore or hyphen.
Is there a RuneScape name release in 2026?▼
Yes. Jagex starts releasing abandoned names on 5 November 2026 at 11:00 UTC, then one batch each weekday through November. Characters must be members with 800 OSRS or 900 RS skill total to claim a released name.
Why does a free name still get rejected?▼
Jagex blocks offensive names and any name containing "mod". A name can also be reserved to another account for 35 days to 6 months after that account renamed, which makes it look free when it is not claimable yet.
Do banned or unranked characters show as free?▼
No. Banned and unranked characters are missing from the hiscores but still hold their names, so the checker reports the name as taken until Jagex releases it.
Can I monitor a RuneScape name for free?▼
Yes. The free trial monitors one handle with weekly checks and emails you when the availability changes. Paid plans add daily or hourly checks.
