"Were Ingress Nicknames Unlocked?"

#PokemonGO: Apologies if this was posted elsewhere and I didn't find it, but I thought I'd share my experience.Backstory (as far as I know it) is that when the game launched, user names currently in Ingress were reserved if those players wanted to play PoGo. It appears that those are unlocked now. In the past hour, both I and another player from my local discord channel have been able to change our names to previously taken names. Anyone else experiencing the same?So if you want a name that was previously unavailable, might be worth trying again for a change? (Note that the change is permanent and can only be done once, so proceed with caution!) via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2E5MTKF
